Winner of four Oscars—including Best Picture—this inspiring 1981 drama focuses on two 1924 British Olympic athletes, a Jew and a Christian, who approach their sport in very different ways. The New York Times called Chariots of Fire an “unashamedly rousing, invigorating, but very clear-eyed evocation of values of the old-fashioned sort that are today more easily satirized than celebrated…. It’s an exceptional film, about some exceptional people.” And you’ll never forget its stirring score.
