1981 - Chariots of Fire

Lyndsay: Ohhhhh where do I begin. Well, I guess I begin by saying we didn't actually finish this movie. I had such high expectations for it because people talk it up all of the time and the duhn duhn duhn music is everywhere, but, much like every "most hilarious movie of the year," it failed to live up to the hype. How boring. Everyone likes the idea of an underdog who triumphs, but the drama should have stayed in the 1924 newspapers when the characters were, in real life, competing for spots in the Olympic games. Otherwise, I think there is probably a similar story, if not 5, for every games.... we've all seen the UPS commercials where the employee is a struggling Olympic athlete.. Best thing about this movie was the original score. Grade: D.

Jon: In Al Pacino voice from Scent of a Woman - "What a crock of shiiittttt!!!" I seriously cannot waste any more time typing words related to this terrible movie. Grade: F-

  1. One comment - did anyone know that throughout history people have exhibited racist behavior toward those of Jewish descent? Thank god I watched this retarded movie to learn this fact, otherwise I might not have known.
