Running Movies?

There's a plethora of cycling movies . . . What about running movies? The only one I can think of is Chariots of Fire.

It's a bit of both. And chocolates. But he does get his leg fixed so I guess that goes into the running theme pretty well.

Does The Running Man count? Honorable mention for Forrest Gump?

Jokes aside, I remember a few others in the 80s, and a Jesse Owens movie called Race a few years back.

Edit: I looked up some more. Here's a good list for anyone curious.

One surprising thing on that list: A movie about my HS x-country team! Not my year but didn't know there was a movie about it at all.

I just watched this. I was surprised at how good it is. Dealt with some serious issues and was funny. Really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Isn’t cool runnings about bobsledding tho?

Staple_Diet@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2y

It's about Jamaican sprinters who miss out on qualifying for the Olympics and then become bobsledders to get to the Winter Olympics.

Most have been mentioned. But what about this - Evolution of Tom Cruise's Run - he basically inserts a running scene in every one of his movies.
