Name That Movie!
Re: Name That Movie!
Not Chariots of Fire -- the same physical activity is involved but not nearly as uplifting, and actually not uplifting at all.

PLEASE, Please, please... Name That Movie!
Well, then, it must be this one:
“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among us, a greater sincerity.”

Re: Name That Movie!
That semi-autobiographical story is very close Datsun, but remember this one is not made in the U.S.
And RT, you are on the right trail picking from the BFI Top 100, but it's one of the other 99.

Another quote:
B: So, uh, how do you come to be here?
C: [puzzled] I got sent, didn't I?
B: [chuckles] Yes, I know you got sent, but why?
C: I got caught. Didn't run fast enough!

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
PLEASE, Please, please - Name That Movie! PLEASE!
OY!

Meade, your subtle message to me is not the right answer and not very nice! 
eta: for some reason, the image did not appear on my screen but when I posted it was there, so I edited my response. This has been happening on both of my computers so a board gremlin is having fun at my expense.

Great clue! #7 gives it away:

Okay, I've had this one since that quote, (and obviously none of our stand-up comedian wannabes are going to take it...Long Run wrote:Next quote:

R: By channelling it in the right direction.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
I remember it from a college film course...it was one of the professor's favorite films...
Re: Name That Movie!
Thank you Jim! Take it away.
Re: Name That Movie!
Okay, I think this is an hilarious movie...(your mileage may differ; I can't believe what a crappy IMDB rating it has)
I hope they have cable. I can't watch regular TV without drugs.
Two very well known performers in the starring roles...I know your sort. You're a malcontent, a misfit, someone who's never achieved shit in his life. Takes one to know one.

sit down, put your feet up; relax and think about it. I'll bet it'll come to you.

Mathau was hilarious, Ackroyd was great, hell even Charles Grodin managed to be funny...
And it rates a lousy 5.7 on IMDB
Some people just don't appreciate quality comedy...
Re: Name That Movie!
The pacing was a little uneven and Donna Dixon while easy on the eyes wasn’t that good.
Now I had a movie idea not to long ago if I can only remember what it was.
