On September 24 1988, Ben Johnson won the 100m gold at the Seoul Olympics. Later tarnished for using enhancement drugs, Johnson would have his medal rescinded. With this day in history in mind, the theme for today will be films about steroid use and running-enjoy!
1 Bigger Stronger Faster (2008) Director: Chris Bell
Documentary about the United States obsession with having to be the best, and subsequent use of steroids among athletes and otherwise...
2 Chariots of Fire (1981) Director: Hugh Hudson
Academy Award winning film about two very different track athletes who end up competing against each other in the 1924 Olympics; film also won Oscars for Best Writing, Music and Costume Design...
3 Marathon (2005) Director: Yoon Chui Jeong
Movie about a young man with autism who is only able to find release through running...
As I have seen only one film from the above list of picks (Chariots of Fire) I look forward to your feedback-enjoy!
