Favorite movie of all movies. Love every single minute. I lived outside London and ran 8 miles daily when this came out, 11 on weekends. This movie speaks on so many levels about the 20th Century, race, class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, philosophy, religion,history, education,fashion, sports, and international relations, to mention a few.
Thank you for your insightful comment. Above all else this film speaks of England, of culture, of a sense of belonging and a profound patriotism.
Great comment Susana - I am a runner too, though never in London - yes , it does say a lot this film - and now you have added another mile for me.
Yes it does speak volumes on race, class, ethnicity. Back when the Olympics was limited to a rich white college WASP's folly. Funny that this film glamorizes the idea of all the things which today's society abhors.
This movie is one of the rare 360° masterpieces of all time...
@@redsquirrel888 absolutely agree with you 🏴
I always loved how the guy showed up with a bottle of champagne.
And with a cigarette in his mouth!
@@dalewetzel3029 In a holder!
He is a Lord at Cambridge. They always have champagne.
I saw this movie many times. Couldn't get enough and that musical theme was awesome.
Chariots of Fire and Sophie’s Choice are among the best movies in the early part of the 1980s decade
Good manners I miss that.
RIP Ben Cross
An excellent actor
Majority of the actors in this film have already passed.
@@rayva1 no they haven’t only the elderly actors and Ben cross have
When college was supposed the be the stuff that "big boys" did while still being young at heart.
I need to look up Lord Andrew Lindsay. He always seemed to be having a good time.
Like the British term “everything was a lark”. I liked him in the movie so much. It’s because of him that Eric Liddell could run.
I think he was a fictional character created for the movie.
@@Emper0rH0rde He was based on Lord David Burghley, who was factually the first man to complete the Great Court Run. If you google search Lord Andrew Lindsay, you get Lord David Burghley come up at the first item.
Lord Lindsey here is fictional. He is based on David Cecil, Lord Burghley, later Marquess of Exeter. He later married twice and fatheted four daughters, the youngest of whom inherited the family seat Burghley.
Lord Burghley refused to lend his name to use in the film or cooperate with the production, something he subsequently realized was a mistake.
@@hwyfannot only that but if my memory serves me correct one of the producers was a socialist and wasn’t keen on the whole lord thing.
The other guy smoking the cigarette really kept up
That Is One Of The Best Movie Scenes Ever ... Really Good
The entire movie is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, most people are not equipped to appreciate it.

Nice To Meet A Fellow Appreciator
Good stuff
Great scene from a very great movie.
Yes
Statler and Waldorf watching from the window...
This scene, while awesome, was actually filmed at the courtyard entering Eton College, and not the Great Court at Trinity College, Cambridge, which is a LOT bigger.
Also Lord Lindsay was very cool, he seemed like he'd have been a fun guy to hang out with.
Great movie from the Cinder Running Track to the Fashion and Costumes it brings you back in time 🙂👍
Yes, great scene in a great movie, but run by David Burghley, not Abrahams, at Trinity College, 1927. He was the first to run the Great Court Run - the 367 metres (401 yds) around the court in the 43.6 seconds that it takes to strike 12 o'clock.
Montgomery Mall Yes. It was a small use of license. I confess that I get annoyed when use (i.e. misuse) is gross, as it too often is in the commercial film industry.

Adrenaline, everytime I watch this scene. Makes me want to go sprint even though I'm ol & slow :) Absolutely love it!!
Great scene in a great movie!
Whow 🌞🐯i feel Young very Young listening to this song
Thank you Mark Knopfler 💥💥😎🐻🐯
There’s something in the way of ASMR here (or at least some sort of euphony), if you have headphones on.
One day I would love to attemp this challenge one day.
Went to look at the real place...looks WAY bigger than this!
One day I would like to see that one day
@@jegr3398 Took a look on Google Maps. I'll never get there now (not at 67).
Lead-footed Lindsay.
So funn6!
I hear that bell all the time it triggers me so much
Do they still run like this in the Quad at Cambridge?
Yeah it’s a tradition still observed
Wait... how did they beat the record when they completely stack it at 1:35 ?
Actually, Lindsey doesn't quite make it. But they are both prodigious, once-in-a-lifetime athletes. Abrahams was one of the first men in history to beat the 10-second mark in the 100 m.
@@CountArtha No. The 10-second mark in the 100 meters was first broken by Jim Hines in 1968. Abraham's best in the 100m was 10.6. He did however runthe 100 yard dash in 9.9 seconds. (Eric Liddell did it in 9.7 seconds.)
@@CountArtha exactly
@@PackerBronco Thank you for the trivia -- Eric Liddell 9.7 seconds in the 100 yard dash, in 1924... British record at the time.
Sebastian Coe tried in Cambridge to raise fund.
Is this challenge still going on?
Yes! Very much so.
Where is Kenneth Branagh?
Think I found him. 0:49 just over the shoulder of the guy in the dark green hat and black coat in the front.
That other guy runs pretty well for a smoker....
I always thought it was called the quad not the courtyard?
In Cambridge they are called courts and in Oxford quads.
@@mysterons1 Thanks for that! We call them quads in the old Scottish unis too, like Aberdeen and Edinburgh
Lord Lindsay was wearing long pants. That's why he failed.
Nobody looking at their phone, just living in the moment.
No internet brain rot so they actually could look people in the eye, talk, and speak clearly.
Moi j’aime le pain 🥖
Is.. is that Stephen Fry?
No
Great scene and completely inaccurate!
Which is more important to a movie about Harold Abrahams?
You could say the same about most scenes in COF.
I can't believe this is the movie that won best picture back in 1982. It's SO fn boring it's comotosing! It has to be the most slow-paced and dull movie to ever win the award and to be put to screen.
It's a great movie for insomniacs though! 😂
