Days of Thunder
Added 10/28/2009
I collect all of Tom Cruise movies, and this just didn't do anything for me. There were one or two good parts, but I just got bored with most of it. Some points in the movie seemed like they were just thrown in just in case they needed to refer to it later.

Days of Thunder finally remastered on Blu-ray!
Added 8/7/2009
Though I had never been such a big TOP GUN fan, I have to admit that "TOP CAR" almost instantly conquered my heart when I first watched it in the early 90's and got me interested in NASCAR.
While the story maybe somewhat simple (or even hard to believe) I had always cherished the movie for its 'good vibrations' and the good mood it puts you in. Robert Duvall delivers an excellent performance as Cole Trickle's new-found father figure, the cat-and-mouse romantic tension between Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise is worth watching.
And last but not least,(my fellow countryman) Hans Zimmer delivers a score, I consider to be one of his best.
Though I started with a LaserDisc, I had always been disappointed with the original DVD release (not to mention the video authoring artefacts in the last part of the movie). The Blu-ray release - while not beeing a state-of-the-art BD - is a giant leap ahead and an invitation to experience, to re-discover the film again on Blu-ray. The improved sound design is also notable, with background noise or dialogue being much more refined than in earlier video releases.
Gentlemen - start your (home theatre) engines!

Bluray transfer is bad!!!!!
Added 5/30/2009
Was excited this movie was on bluray. It is a guilty pleasure of mine and other race fans. But, the quality of the print used to bring this to bluray leaves a lot to be desired. There are little pinholes and trash all over the screen throughout the movie. Hands down the worst lookinf bluray I have seen!!!!!

Days of Thunder
Added 5/28/2009
"Days of Thunder" comes on like thunder. It is a winner. 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 car 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. Pure pleasure.
