What’s great to watch while exercising? I’m hoping for things with great soundtracks (e.g. Run Lola Run, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Pulp Fiction) and more plot than explosions (note to Hollywood: car chases are not plot). Great dialogue and writing (e.g. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) can also keep me going. Most suspense and horror is difficult (suspense tends to draw time out rather than keep me distracted), but there are some exceptions (e.g. BBC’s Jekyll). Concert films can work as well, but it depends on the band (personal preference for jam bands, classic rock, blues and jazz) and whether it’s shot in epileptic-inducing MTV style or if it’s more relaxed and performer-oriented.
I’ve burned through a huge amount on Netflix and am running out of ideas. Any suggestions?
