I thought that movie was about shrimping.
It's a bit of both. And chocolates. But he does get his leg fixed so I guess that goes into the running theme pretty well.
I recalled one . . . silly and not on lists: Run Fatboy Run
One of my favorites!! I watch this the night before a big race for inspiration
Does The Running Man count? Honorable mention for Forrest Gump?
Jokes aside, I remember a few others in the 80s, and a Jesse Owens movie called Race a few years back.
Edit: I looked up some more. Here's a good list for anyone curious.
One surprising thing on that list: A movie about my HS x-country team! Not my year but didn't know there was a movie about it at all.
Brittany Runs a Marathon
I just watched this. I was surprised at how good it is. Dealt with some serious issues and was funny. Really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Without Limits
A movie about Steve Prefontaine
There are cycling movies?
I thoroughly enjoyed the anime, Run With The Wind.
Thanks for reminding me to watch this.
Most have been mentioned. But what about this - Evolution of Tom Cruise's Run - he basically inserts a running scene in every one of his movies.
