Pick of the running flicks

Runners like myself usually enjoy running movies, no matter how good or bad they may be. I've seen this film three times over the years and enjoyed it. It's not a classic by any means, but it motivates me to run after I watch it, so it's quite motivational in that regard.
'The Jericho Mile' rates as one of my favourites in the running genre, for motivation and storyline.

Any other runners on this message board please name your favourite running flick. Hopefully I haven't already seen your choice and can seek it out!

A mere eleven years (nearly to the day) that you posted this, I came upon this link (and learned about 'On the Edge'):

Although, obviously, the classic 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner' is missing, maybe there are one or two movies on that list that you don't know yet ...
