    There's some documentary called "Spirit of the Marathon" -- maybe check that one out! My hubby watched it while he was training for his marathon.


    I just watched this a few months ago for the first time, thought it was very inspiring!

    "Run Fatboy Run" is not a bad movie, although it got mediocre reviews. I thought is was cute :tongue:

    I enjoyed that film too. Completely off topic but I love your maths/ Pi ticker. Am going to steal it for my FB page :)

    I liked Run Fat Boy Run too. Simon Pegg is so funny.

    I'd love to watch it again, it's on youtube but not available in my country. So annoying

    "Chariots of Fire." "Prefontaine" was good, but not in the same league.

    Ya know I don't think I ever saw that entire movie. I was a little kid and remember watching parts of it. I might have to check that out.

    There were two I distinctly remember.

    RUNNING - Michael Douglas movie about doing a marathon. Picked it up again and enjoyed it the second time too.

    The Loneliest Runner - Michael Landon and Lance Kerwin (yes I'm showing my age). TV movie from 76 that's on youtube now.

    Since all the good movies have been stated already, This brought back memories of watching the music video to Garth Brooks "Standing Outside the Fire" - Cried like a little baby I did!
