I watched "Chariots of Fire" again the other night…

One of my favorite movies of all time. I originally saw it in a theater with friends, when it first came out. I loved Ben Cross & Ian Charleson, the score by Vangelis (R.I.P. to them all). I remember this theme for the U.S. team, which seemed so perfect: crisp, utilitarian and badass. And I felt more than a twinge of pride, as an American.

I loved it when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I've had sports movies ruined for me by the realization that no matter how many are produced, there will always be only a limited member of potential plot lines.

@LordShadowfire Sports movies aren’t really my genre—they weren’t [b]then[/b]. But that movie was very special. And when I watched it again this Saturday it felt like it had held up well in 40 years.

@bijouxbroussard I might just have to give it another chance, then.
