    I don't know of any movies that feature treadmills...

    Oh wait, my bad, I see what you want.

    Not movies but good series:
    "Orange I the New Black"

    "Sherlock"

    "The Office"

    "The Vikings"

    Has to be action movies. Anything with Jason Statham keeps me moving! Lord of the Rings trilogy, Harry Potter movies, Avengers, Thor, etc.

    Im currently making my way thru star strek: the next generation while walking on the treadmill max incline. half way thru the 5th season now.

    I used to watch movies while doing it but I ended up taking ages to figure out what to watch, find a couple tv series your interested in and watch 1 or 2 episodes a day !

    I'm a die hard trekkie so all the movies and series are good. Right now I'm working my way through the Enterprise series.

    Action movies are good like the Bourne, Terminator, Predators. Anything that moves a lot and you don't get bored watching it.

    I'd binge watch some good cable shows rather than movies. Mad Men, Breaking Bad, etc.

    I like action movies when I'm on the treadmill. I like the Bourne Trilogy.

    I just watched The Bourne Legacy on the treadmill last week.

    (I load movies onto my phone to watch.)

    I can't believe you found kill boll vol. 1 boring.... I was going to suggest both volumes of that. So I'll offer My Cousin Vinny instead. And Grudge Match.

    I like documentaries - "Fat, Tired and Nearly Dead", "Forks Over Knives". One of my favorite comedies with a hidden workout theme is "Ruthless People."

    I watch movies that I love, like Harry Potter, but ill also watch tv on Netflix. I've watched orange is the new black, supernatural, etc. Whatever peaks your interest is what it'll be. I can't listen to music cuz I'll die on the treadmill, but I'm sure others feel differently. I'll even go on the treadmill while shows are on the channels (I go on my phone our kindle during commercials).

    I like watching TV shows on Netflix while I am on my elliptical or my bike. Some faves include: Xena, Monk, Murder, She Wrote, Sherlock, Cheers, Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, and Angel. Sometimes it just depends on if I am in the mood for someone or something to get their butts kicked or if I need some comedy to get me through the workout!

    Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials!

    I was umming and aaahing over whether to start the Lord Of The Rings trilogy (extended editions of course) next, and do them in 30-60min stints according to whatever I do on the elliptical trainer. But I'm not sure if they are pacey enough for me.

    Zero Dark Thirty will keep you pumped up for the entire flick. Plus, the female CIA agent in a rockstar.

    Good Luck!
