Chariots of Fire (1981)

Worst Best Picture Winner

This season's worst Best Picture winner. Chariots of Fire is probably best remembered for the main theme to its score, and yet this tale of the 1924 English track Olympians somehow won Best Picture in 1981. Guest Nathan Perry is back to talk some Olympic sports drama. ___ Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_official Twitter: https://x.com/WWIBpodcast Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/wwibpodcast Subscribe!
