I saw this movie when it was on TV and have looked for it ever since.
What amazes me is they do not show it more. THE GOOD news is NETFLIX now has it on DVD (2 disc).
1984 does not date this film but should be popular today, maybe around current Olympic season.
This movies has everything, some funny things but not a comedy. Facts, pretty good, great Directing, great acting, great Scenery.
The actors are very real as today, with modern physical training, they are 'beefed' up but these kids look like what the kids in college looked like in 1896 but were no professional but just good athletes.
The part about them thinking they were to be nude like the original Olympians is worth watching. And that Greek story about the USA National Anthem was great.
If you have never seen, you are missing a great treat.
Come on Sony, get with it. Bring it back to the public.
