Summary: Chariots of Fire and Wings on Their Feet
Comment: I never saw Chariots of Fire when it was in the theater in the early 80's, but I became interested in it after I saw some of the sites where it was filmed when I was in Scotland recently.
It's based on the true story of the track team of Great Britain in the 1924 Olympics in Paris. Eric Liddell has become one of my heroes -- standing for what you know is right even in the face of incredible pressure and sacrifice.
It's an amazing film!!

Summary: Great Movie
Comment: This DVD came in great shape. I enjoyed it very much. Great price too!
Customer Rating:
Summary: FRAUDULENT
Comment: The movie is excellent, but the presentation isn't. I'd read reviews claiming the Two Disc Special Edition version isn't presented in actual widescreen. Now that I've compared this DVD to my VHS full screen version, side by side, I'm forced to agree. Galling, but true: The "1.85:1" aspect ratio is achieved merely by slicing the top and bottom off the panned and scanned version! I'm angry at Warner Brothers for foisting this lie onto us and disappointed with Amazon for perpetuating the fraud. Buyer beware!

Summary: My favorite movie
Comment: I first saw this movie at 18 and it has remained my favorite. The themes and messages are timeless - about having integrity and beliefs - and about "running" for all of the right reasons.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An all time classic and inspirational film!
Comment: This is one of those films that deserves, in every way, to have earned the Academy's most coveted award. A film I can watch over and over again and continue to be inspired by, I have gone years without having last seen it - having first seen it in the theater during it's initial release - and it is a treat to have the opportunity to see it again here on this special edition DVD.
