   Is 'Chariots of fire' a good movie?

   • I’ve toyed with that question since I first saw this remarkable film in May 1981 at the Cannes Film Festival, and I believe the answer is rather simple: Like many great films, “Chariots of Fire” takes its nominal subjects as occasions for much larger statements about human nature. This is a movie that has a great many running scenes.

   Does 'Chariots of fire' have a running scene?

   • But “Chariots of Fire” takes an unexpected approach to many of its running scenes. It does not, until near the film’s end, stage them as contests to wring cheers from the audience. Instead, it sees them as efforts, as endeavors by individual runners — it tries to capture the exhilaration of running as a celebration of the spirit.

   Is CHARIOT a good movie?

   • CHARIOT can be really enjoyable for some viewers, despite being a slow and unsteady wander of a main protagonist who gets caught in unusual circumstances. It features long, strange soliloquies from the weird strangers around him. I loved the recent Mr. Limbo and the heart it had.

   Two of the best moments in the movie: A moment in which Liddell defeats Abrahams, who agonizingly replays the defeat over and over in his memory. And a moment in which Abrahams’ old Italian-Arabic track coach, banned from the Olympic stadium, learns who won his man’s race.

   CHARIOTS OF FIRE is undoubtedly one of the finest sports movies ever made because it isn't just about sports per se. Instead, it's a period picture summoning up life in the 1920s, with deep characterisation, strong and subtle acting from the principle actors, and a great attention to detail.
