In this episode, Game Film focuses on movies about the Olympic Games. Hosts Os Davis and Aron Harris take a look at:
• Chariots of Fire (1980) – The Oscar-winning film about a pair of athletes on Britain’s track-and-field team at the 1924 Games;
• Miracle (2004) – the motion picture retelling of the plucky USA hockey team’s coming together in time to upset the mighty USSR squad at the 1980 Winter Olympics (starring Kurt Russell as coach Herb Brooks); and
• Olympia (1936) – a documentary (or highlight reel, really) of the 1936 Olympics which set the standard for all video productions of sport thereafter.
