| VHS Tape Description The come-from-behind winner of the 1981 Oscar for best picture, Chariots of Fire either strikes you as either a cold exercise in mechanical manipulation or as a tale of true determination and inspiration. The heroes are an unlikely pair of young athletes who ran for Great Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympics: devout Protestant Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a divinity student whose running makes him feel closer to God, and Jewish Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), a highly competitive Cambridge student who has to surmount the institutional hurdles of class prejudice and anti-Semitism. There's delicious support from Ian Holm (as Abrahams's coach) and John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson as a couple of Cambridge fogies. Vangelis's soaring synthesized score, which seemed to be everywhere in the early 1980s, also won an Oscar. Chariots of Fire was the debut film of British television commercial director Hugh Hudson (Greystoke) and was produced by David Puttnam. --Jim Emerson |

A must-see, even 25 years later! I saw this movie when I was in high school and thought it was good. Bought it a few weeks ago and can't believe how good it really is. If it's been a few years (or, even days) since you've watched this, it's worth seeing again, and again, and again...
Chariots of Fire I watched this movie when it first came out... and I have realized that this movie is a true classic... I have learned to appreciate the story of just two men, but of a group character that interact during their early twenty. Something, I could understand and relate. Timeless, does not come close to describing the beauty of the storytelling of this motion picture. The entertainment value, as well as the 1920s period (clothes & behavior of the people) is so charming. It made me want to run, run, run! If only I didn't have these heal spurs!!!!
A Classic Epic!! When this movie first came out I was kindda young so I thought it was boring!!
As I've gotten older I've grown to really like this movie!!
I would say this movie is no dout worth it to buy!! |
