Some other favorites of mine:<BR/><BR/>On The Edge - Cheesy film about a race very similar to the Dipsea, starring a very fit Bruce Dern. Great trail running footage, and you feel good at the end.<BR/><BR/>Chariots of Fire - Duh. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Without Limits - Another Prefontaine biopic, but one that feels to me like Eugene, OR, was back in those days.<BR/><BR/>Showdown - A documentary that follows four elites (Culpepper, Abdi, Meb, etc.) leading up to the XC cross-country championships. <BR/><BR/>If anyone has any other favorites, please do share!<BR/><BR/>SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-85041750241468635882008-03-23T13:35:00.000-07:002008-03-23T13:35:00.000-07:00Hey Matt,Some movies to get you fired up about lon...Hey Matt,<BR/>Some movies to get you fired up about long distance running would be:<BR/><BR/>A Race For The Soul. Documentary style film about the 2003 (I think) Western States 100. I've watched this one with the bonus features about 50 times.<BR/><BR/>The Runner. Documents David Horton's run along the entire Pacific Coast Trail. A little boring, but when you've got the DT's for long running, it's the drug.<BR/><BR/>Some more theatrical movies I like:<BR/><BR/>Saint Ralph. This is a must see about a boy who wants to run the Boston Marathon because he thinks it's the miracle needed to save his mother. (yes, I got choked up during it a couple times).<BR/><BR/>Running Brave. The Billy Mills story.<BR/><BR/>Without Limits. Prefontaine movie.<BR/><BR/>Prefontaine. Another Pre movie. I can't decide which of these I like best. They are both wicked good. I think Without Limits is a bit more hard edged.<BR/><BR/>Of course you can just google "running movies", but I thought I'd give you some personal insight into the ones I've seen and enjoy.<BR/>TimLocal Mind Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06676782580566794924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-73033693646880540372008-03-23T11:57:00.000-07:002008-03-23T11:57:00.000-07:00BTW Scott, when you blog, tell us how the ride hom...BTW Scott, when you blog, tell us how the ride home was--a little worried about you driving home safely on such little sleep (aside from your having run 50 butt-hilly kilometers).Mark Tanaka (Ultrailnakaman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13506740152878287937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-58713871941722025212008-03-23T11:53:00.000-07:002008-03-23T11:53:00.000-07:00Leomemorial,Looks like Scott Dunlap got a taste of...Leomemorial,<BR/>Looks like Scott Dunlap got a taste of your snow himself--he'll probably talk about it in his race report. When I lived in Chicago, I'd take out my cross country skis and ski around my house and the lakefront.
