    Great list! A fair few I haven't seen. I'll add a few more i've watched recently -
    "UNBREAKABLE: The Western States 100" (1hr45)- which is a Limited Release on TH-cam. Loved it.
    th-cam.com/video/zy1as6CTYXI/w-d-xo.html
    "Out There - A Journey to the Barkley Marathons" (53mins) by Karel Sabbe. Well worth a watch.
    th-cam.com/video/Jt3XPQFLOF8/w-d-xo.html
    For some really brilliant long form vids I'd recommend the FullTiltWard channel. loads on there from Kerry Ward.

    REI's film, "How to Run 100 Miles" , always helps keep me motivated with my tasks. In addition to that The Squamish 50/50 (Ethan Newberry) is so much damn fun, and since we're on the subject of Ethan Newberry and the Barkley, his film "Where Dreams Go to Die-Gary Robbins and the Barkley Marathons" is a must watch in my books.

  • @TheRunningHippo365
    @TheRunningHippo365 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Some great sounding films for me to watch.
    Here are a few I like:
    Where dreams go to die - Gary Robbins and th Barkley marathons.
    The runner - David Hortons 2700 run of the Pacific Crest trail
    A Mile an hour - a different kind of a marathon by Beau Mile

    Hi guys! Loved the selection but I would strongly include “ Western Time” by Billy Young. It’s about Sally Mcrey journey through the WS100 and it’s very empowering story, specially for female runners. But if was my favourite film about running I’d say Forest Gump!!! Because he runs for the same reasons as I run, “ because it feels good”😂😂😂

    Interesting list but they all seem to be about ultras! From the big screen, Chariots of Fire is one of my favourites. There were some movies about Pre (Steve Prefontaine) about 20 years ago that worth checking out. I remember another one about The Four Minute Mile which features Adrian Dunbar from Line of Duty!

    Such healthy positivity - so much needed these days - thank you! I've watched many of these and especially loved your own account of your incredible run - so earthy and honest. Marvellous stuff and like many on the list, will induce emotional responses, from tears to jubilation. I highly commend any of Billy Yang's movies and recently enjoyed "A long run" - the story of Bob Anderson's run challenge he set himself at age 64 - he also founded Runners' World magazine - great story. We also loved "Transamerica" with Ricky Gates - his story of trying to understand his country and its people after being seriously disillusioned after a recent election. It's not a political movie at all and has some lovely insights on humanity. Thank you again and cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave :-)
