Theme of the day for Monday, July 30th: Movies about actual Olympic Games. I may come back later and add comments about the movies. Of the five movies I listed we only have the first three on DVD. I have seen Cool Runnings before with John Candy and enjoyed it.
It has been some time since I watched Chariots of Fire. I first saw it at a movie theatre when it came out back in 1981. I was the only one in my group who stayed awake through the whole thing. I am hoping that 30 years later I better understand it so I can appreciate it more.
Walk Don't Run (1966) - 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics
Chariots of Fire (1981) - 1924 Paris Summer Olympics
The Cutting Edge (1992) - 1988 and 1992 Winter Olympics
Cool Runnings (1993) - 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics
Munich (2005) - 1972 Munich Summer Olympics
