If you loved Chariots of Fire, try Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Hugh Hudson, and they both carry the uplifting mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Chariots of Fire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes is

Hugh Hudson gives it his all in this very serious take on Edgar Rice Burroughs. A shipwrecked couple's infant son is orphaned in the jungle and raised by apes. Twenty years later, a captain takes the feral man back to Scotland to claim his birthright. It's a jungle opera that swings for the fences.
