Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition)

The Chariots of Fire video was in excellent condition & we look forward to enjoying it for years to come.

this film is a wonderful evocation of an era and is brilliant in it s conception, acting and directing. the music is perfect and the opening sequence of the athletes running is superb. this hsould be shown over and over in schools.

I ordered "Chariots of Fire", the DVD. Found it to be just what I was looking for, and the entire process of ordering, receiving, and enjoying was superb --- could not ask for more! Thank you, Amazon, for such great service.

This is one of my favorite films. However, several reviewers make an understandible mistake. Eric Liddell was a science student, not a divinity student in university. He subsequently taught science in the Anglo-Chinese school in Tianjin in a building which now houses an amazing open(TSPM)church. Devotion to God is not in opposition to science.

This is simply an amazing movie, inspiring in a way that few are. I am fascinated by Mr. Liddel, and my only disappointment was that the movie portrayed his lovely sister in an entirely unrealistic light. She did in fact support her brother's running wholeheartedly and was one of his biggest fans. I suppose the screenwriter felt the need to add a little additional tension to a remarkable life.

To me, Chariots of Fire captures all that is right with athletics. The spirit of the amateur gentleman athlete has slipped away to a large degree, but it can still be found in the endless hours logged by athletes in non-professional sports. It's easy to slip into the trite "good-old-days" mentality, but when it comes to athletics, something truly has been lost. Chariots of Fire captures the amazing spirit of camaraderie and selflessness that pervaded the British Olympic team in the early 20th Century. Truly a fantastic movie.
