rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author three_ster - 1990 brought us a thrilling action film about NASCAR and the ins and out of racing. It also brought us our first glimpse of the unknown Nicole Kidman, as a doctor who ends up treating two of the drivers later on in the movie. She is a bright spot in...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author veganweb - Tom Cruise is a mystery to me. If you ask me about him I'll probably make a reference to his lack of acting ability or his height. However I've seen a lot of his movies. I saw Days of Thunder and you know what, I kinda liked it, even if it is Top Gun...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cezanne - I spent my Saturday watching old movies that I own, either bought or taped off of cable. I popped in Days of Thunder, starring babe-Tom Cruise, Nichole Kidman (lucky woman), and Robert Duvall.

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 23:25:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattjoe - For those who are not fans of NASCAR racing, this film could possibly get you interested in the sport. That was one of the main ideas back in 1990 when Days of Thunder was released. Combine Tom Cruise with Robert Duvall, some fast action with race cars,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 6TOMCRUiSE9 - I personally love this movie. Tom Cruise plays Cole Trickle, a stock car driver who is ignorant about cars. Harry Hogge, his boss basically, teaches him a certain type of "language" so that they can communicate to each other about what the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author missi31 - What a great movie!
I first saw this in the theater and had to have it. After seeing it probably 50 times it finally went into the drawer.
This movie is about race cars and how a young Tom Cruise (Cole Trickle in the movie) becomes a great...

Days of Thunder: Ranks as one of My All-Time Worst

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 23:48:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JJLizard - I love racing. I hated this movie. The previews made me think that there would be great stunts throughout, but it disappointed me in that regard. And some of the plot development was inane:

1. Tom Cruise is supposed to be a two-time World...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author djhandgrenade - Many people think of "Days of Thunder" as just another "Top Gun" with race cars. There's nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned. In this 1990 blockbuster features Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) as a stock-car driver trying to make...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thejibbler - Fast cars and hot chicks, that pretty much sums up the movie Days of Thunder.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nakedasajbyrd - Rubbing is not racing in the Winston Cup Series of Nascar, but it is allowed in the Busch Series of Nascar.
