What are the best running movies?
NOT endurance. I love Geb, but that movie was SO INCREDIBLY BORING. There would be like 20 minutes of no talking, just them sitting there, swatting flies.
Without Limits is decent, probably the best running movie that is not a documentary. Run Like Hell is decent. I want to see Running Brave because I heard that is good.
On a kinda related note, does anybody know if the film rights to OAR have been sold, because I need to come up with a list of possible suggestions for upcoming movies for the film studio i intern at.
Running Brave, Billy mills story, was really good!
I saw some people on youtube saying those copied off the prefontaine movies...yet this one was 10-15 years prior, and is about a lot more of a genuine guy.
(if you want to flame me for saying this atrocity make athread dont do it here)
1. Without Limits
2. Chariots of Fire
3. Saint Ralph
4. Fire On the Track
5. Run Like Hell
6. Endurance
7. Prefontaine
8. Running Brave
I would like to see "Spirit of the Marathon"
The Long Run
Jerico Mile!
I just watched the Jericho Mile last week. It isn't bad.
I did laugh when the coach asked him how many MPW he was getting. " oh maybe 85-90" Yeah in prison with one hour a day of recreation time.
The all time WORST running movie is:
The loneliness fo the long distance runner. Complete trash
the long green line. the story of joe newton was inspiring and made me sad that i wasn't part of a team as a young person.
The Ringer.

Looks like Steve Prefontaine factored in pretty high with "letsrun" readers, as 3 of them are about him.
I haven't watched any of them, but I did recently buy the Chariots of Fire DVD.

My favorite is a documentary about the Western States 100 called "A Race For The Soul".
I remember the Jericho Mile from a blue million years ago!!
The Ringer!!
I can tell you the worst one: Four Minutes

Many good ones here, Gallipoli isn't specifically about running but it does figure prominently in the story.
Not sure I've seen any movie that captures the essence of running, Running Brave maybe the closest.
How can I get a copy of On The Edge?
