Ultimate treadmill movie list!
January 20, 2023 8:27 PM Subscribe
It’s deep winter and I’m spending a lot of time on the treadmill. Please help me maintain interest in this activity by expanding my list of perfect (by my definition) treadmill movies.
My list is currently comprised of Beyoncé’s Homecoming concert, Thor Ragnarok and RRR. It’s got to be high energy, have a great soundtrack, and be at least an hour long. Complex plot < movies that make me pump my fist with enthusiasm

By soundtrack, so you mean it should have pop songs in it? If not, The Fugitive is pretty great.

I exercise to these two quite a bit (both more music than movie but both do have visuals too):
1) It's about 50min, but you can repeat a song or two to stretch to fit: Fall Out Boy's The Youngblood Chronicles
2) If you haven't seen what the Royal Family dance crew can do, you're in for a treat. This is an hour+ compilation of a bunch of their routines.

And the first Pirates of the Caribbean, if you can get past Johnny Depp...

Clueless, maybe? The soundtrack is upbeat and fun, and the movie itself is cute and has held up well.
