Blu-ray Review: Special Edition of ‘Chariots of Fire’ Timed to 2012 Olympics
Submitted by BrianTT on July 16, 2012 - 4:08pmWarner Bros. released another one of their book editions of a catalog Blu-ray film and while some of these seem somewhat random in their timing, this one has a nice real-world tie-in as “Chariots of Fire” hits stores just in time for the 2012 Olympics. “Chariots of Fire” is a well-made epic even if my strongest memory of it is related to the stunned realization that it is the movie that beat “Raiders of the Lost Ark” for Best Picture.
