Chariots of Fire
1981
***
Director: Hugh Hudson
Cast: Ben Cross, Ian Charleson, Nigel Havers, Nick Farrell, Alice Krige, Ian Holm

A consistently interesting but somewhat uninspired true story about two talented athletes who are determined to run in the 1924 Paris Olympics. One is a compulsive competitor, while the other one wants to honour God with his win. Oscar winner for best picture, screenplay, costumes and soundtrack.
