“If I can't win, I won't run! “If you won't run, you can't win”. Long before Michael Scott said Wayne Gretzky said you miss 100% of the shots you never take, there was Chariots of Fire. This 1981 Best Picture explores two competing runners in the lead-up to the 1924 Olympics as they struggle with everything from form and faith to religion and regulations. As Harold Abrahams struggles to navigate being Jewish in the early 20th century England, all while training professionally in an age that only respects amateurism, Rev. Eric Liddell debates whether to serve God from the pulpit, or on the track. An odd mix of 1980s music and diegetic hymns, this true tale depicts not only a lot of slow-motion running but the story behind the racers as well. Does Chariots of Fire still deserve Gold?
