DAYS OF THUNDER
From the engine roar and fever pitch of professional stock car racing, Days of Thunder explodes with the most spectacular racing action ever captured on film.
Tom Cruise plays race driver Cole Trickle, whose talent and ambition are surpassed only by his burning need to win. Discovered by businessman Tim Daland (Randy Quaid), Cole is teamed with legendary crew chief and car-builder Harry Hogge (Academy Award. winner Robert Duvall) to race for the Winston Cup at the Daytona 500. A fiery crash nearly ends Cole's career and he must turn to a beautiful doctor (Nicole Kidman) to regain his nerve and the true courage needed to race, to win and to live.

BIGFANBOY.com special notes:
I was initially never a fan of this film. Back when it came out, I guess I never understood the fascination with Tom Cruise, and I couldn't get on board with the idea of a movie about racing. Now, as I look back on the time period it came out during (1990), I developed a fondness for films like this. I've gone on record with my guilty pleasure love of Tony Scott films, and through the years I've come to enjoy the performances of Tom Cruise. Say what you want about the guy, but he always gives 110% with every role he plays. The fact that Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer produced this with Scott behind the camera makes it a movie you must own, if for no other reason than to remember what popcorn cinema was like 20 years ago.
