Michael Douglas's face at the end. *Spoiler Alert'

i saw this film when i was young too...about 10 or so. i recently bought a rather poorly transfered dvd version off amazon.com and found it to be as enjoyable -- maybe more so -- as i remember.

michael douglas's face at the end is memorable. i've run 10 full-length marathons, and though i've finished aching and exhausted before, i can't say i ever worn such a stoic countenance at the finish line. he's like "yeah, this is life and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose and sometimes it's a helluva lot harder than what you trained for"

he really nailed this role, though. and the movie is definitely worth it. there aren't enough movies about runners. this film has a very good musical score too, by andre gagnon.
