“Chariots of Fire” (1981) - Based on a true story, “Chariots of Fire” is the internationally acclaimed Oscar-winning drama of two very different men who compete as runners in the 1924 Paris Olympics. As compelling as the racing scenes are, it's really the depth of the two main characters that touches the viewer, as they forcefully drive home the theme that victory attained through devotion, commitment, integrity, and sacrifice, is the most admirable feat that one can achieve.

This powerful film won four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score. Wrote Kate Muir for the U.K. Times, "From the opening scene of pale young men racing barefoot along the beach, full of hope and elation, backed by Vangelis's now famous anthem, the film is utterly compelling,”
 
“Chariots of Fire” is rated PG. It plays Thursday, Nov. 16 at 2 and 7 p.m. and on Friday, Nov. 17 at 2 p.m.. Thursday & Friday matinees all tickets $6.

“American Made” is a smart, nervy film, a very modern entertainment made with energy, style and a fine sense of humor," - Los Angeles Times
