At that point I was an “aspiring filmmaker” who simply loved to study story. It focuses a lot of its late firepower on Prefontaine’s stubborn (and correct) battle with the Amateur Athletic Union that dictated the terms under which Americans could or could not run.

Anyone ever watch Santa Clarita Diet? It was a running movie.

Today my husband, who incidently was a track and field runner in high school, watched Without Limits, and was captivated by the story, however, I did not know Mr Steve, nor was I aware of his death as I watched the story, hoping after he had turned down the pros, he would go on to the olympics, and then when I saw that car he was driving and that road, I knew what was coming up, and I hated that!!!! Prefontaine is no where the movie Without Limits was and is. I had just started jogging to get in shape and was really enjoying it. We all felt like we were a part of Pre, and running with him, and he felt that, too. I cut down the flag of Israel in the scene. My only wish, not mentioned in the film would be to have some sort of OTHER male supporting role that Donald Sutherland could have lent his expertise to. Keep in mind that Pre had won 78% of his races… Do any of you watch old movies anymore (these are late 90's, already 20 years old) most of my friends won't watch anything older than a year or 2.

I can’t find the book right now so I might be wrong but I think “Without Limits” is the better movie. If I'm tired, who cares? The life of renowned runner Steve Prefontaine and his … What’s better? I feel that he hits it based on a Lombardy-ish tact and fervor that feels lost in today’s world.

Answer Save.

They had me then they lost me. I cried like a baby. , i did not even know there was another prefontaine movie until i found this here, and i have watched Prefontaine 5 times, thanks. They employed the great Donald Sutherland to play the legendary Bill Bowerman and as usual Sutherland was excellent. PRAISE: Mr. Zabel, This piece is terrific asset to the internet’s athletic audience, but it manages to go beyond that…Far beyond. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Crudup's version also has Donald Sutherland as the coach while Leto has R. Lee Ermey and the dad from Married With Children. It is probably true that Billy Crudup is better in the role, that Without Limits looks like the slightly more expensive filmmaking effort, and that it was shot on the University of Oregon campus which gives it an even greater sense of accuracy. Don’t know if I talked to you or not. Good post. Was I ever wrong! He was so cocky. I'm gonna have to see if my local library has them! I like pieces of it and I believe it had historical significance but if I’d seen it first I would not have fallen in love with Steve Prefontaine… And I’m so glad that I did!!!

There is a Pre section at the Oregon University book store. Without Limits Storyform SYNOPSIS: "The film follows the life of famous 1970s runner Steve Prefontaine from his youth days in Oregon to the University of Oregon where he worked with the legendary coach Bill Bowerman, later to Olympics in Munich and his early death at … I was with the Kim Brooke agency. In any case, what you get with Prefontaine is a good sense of what made him tick as an icon and a leader of other athletes.

Prefontaine had some flubs with the US team watching the Jim Mckay broadcast in their rooms, which was highly doubtful in 1972. I mean, yeah, W/out Limits is probably a better movie, but doesn’t Prefontaine get points for being TRUE. Why does it feel good to think about running.

No, maybe just call me naive and ignorant. This is an absolutely awesome comparison! Just a few years ago I had no idea who Steve Prefontaine was. I had the good fortune to run in some of the races he was in. This actually happened on Facebook recently. God, that dude’s anger level was out of control. Directed by Robert Towne. I think it’s odd that Billy Crudup wins this smackdown. I doubt they would do that today. I recently watched the movie Without Limits. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.”. I've been to his Rock twice and even in broad daylight it is a scary, twisty little road. I watched Without Limits (1998: Billy Crudup, Donald Sutherland, Monica Potter) and Prefontaine (1997: Jared Leto, R. Lee Ermey, Ed O'Neill). Both movies are good, and it is a close race all the way to the finish line but, for me, I think the race, entertainment wise, is easily won by PREFONTAINE. If you hear of any job opportunities in Duluth, please let us know.

It was sad that Pre chose to get behind the wheel of a car while drunk and not wearing a seatbelt. :), Cool, thanks for sharing, I need some more trainer material. Of course, both films end with Prefontaine’s death, driving a sports car, under the influence, in 1975. The girls of the dualing Prefontaine films are so incredibly different that you have to wonder how that happened. WL showed them watching the German broadcast and Pre used what I presume was his bi-lingual capabilities to translate.

This first film came from writer-director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) and employs the device of the faux-documentary (actors aged up, talking about their relationships with Pre in the past tense) as its framework. Our film came out first, but both were shot at the same time. Without Limits was showing on Cinemax the other day. As opposed to the version where he has no adversity, blows his chances of Olympic Gold, then goes on to drink drive and get himself killed, going out like a complete schmohawk. Also Billy Crudup and Donald Sutherland are in top form..and the movie had that feeling (instant classic I thought). But Steve not getting a medal certainly added to the narrative and the tragedy of his story. In each movie the actor portrays Pre a bit differently. If my foot hurts, who cares? I liked both movies for different reasons. There was always that good feeling the day after a hard run, from both reflection of the run and the recovery going on within. They both cover the life, struggles, defeats and triumphs of Steve Prefontaine - an Oregon runner who died young in a … And, I don’t say that because I went in agreeing with what you say (although I do;) but because it is so well written, logical and points justified. Directed by Robert Towne. But once our film came out and tanked at the box office, they withheld their film for 18 months in hopes that it wouldn’t negatively affect their film. It is wonderful to see that you have now offered it here and others can read, think, learn, and respond.

This is because I am biased. So given that this was based on a true story, Without Limits loses points for going in that direction. Sutherland is so pretentious compared to Ermey.

Veteran writer-director Robert Towne ("Personal Best," "Chinatown" screenplay) did the honors here, collaborating with Pre's former track rival and friend Kenny Moore on the script.

Still have questions? Thanks for the SMACKDOWN. He also had natural speed.

Steve Prefontaine's life story has been detailed in two feature films: 1997's Prefontaine (starring Jared Leto as Prefontaine) and 1998's Without Limits (starring Billy Crudup as Prefontaine), as well as the documentary film Fire on the Track. 2 Answers.

I actually just finished watching Prefontaine in preperation for the Columbus Marathon in 2 days. This stuff is all fine and helpful(and I of course use it), but in the end, it is just you and you alone to be courageous to step outside of the mental and physical box.Also, I gotta go to Oregon sometime in my life:)! Just for FYI,  Pre did not just run off talent Sasha.

thanks for the reviews Andrew.

To be honest he is a big part of the reason I am a runner too. I've been meaning to watch Prefontaine, must add it to my Netflix! My suggestion, watch Without Limits, get hooked on the story, then you’ll want to watch Pre as well. (They had a budget 4 times ours and a much longer shoot and finish schedule.) We would be particularly interested in something that involves teaching spelling, grammar or logic, which, judging from your letter, there’s a big need for in your neck of the woods. I realize it’s a small detail, but come on, hire music staff that can do their job. Perhaps this is important only to people such as myself, who were living the story over the years, but it makes quite the impact to know that we are actually on the UofO track, actually at Bowerman’s house, actually on the road where Pre died.
