KARE 11 – Olympic Movies
By Brian Eggert | February 18, 2026
Dear readers,
Last weekend, I appeared on KARE 11 Saturday, the weekend morning show of the NBC affiliate in Minnesota, to recommend three movies about the Olympics: the documentary Tokyo Olympiad (1965), the Robert Redford drama Downhill Racer (1969), and the Best Picture winner Chariots of Fire (1981).

Happy viewing!
