I really, really enjoyed the movie Days of Thunder when it
came out in 1990—it's basically Top Gun rehashed with cars instead of
fighter jets, but it's still pretty cool if you're not expecting an
intellectual masterpiece. Tom
Cruise plays Cole Trickle, a young race car driver who tries to make it
big on the NASCAR circuit by working with crew chief Harry Hogge (Robert
Duvall). Nicole Kidman plays Dr.
Claire Lewicki, Cruise's love interest for the movie; she plays the doctor who treats Cruise
after a racing mishap. This is how Kidman and Cruise met in real life; they were married in late 1990 and stayed married for almost a decade.
The soundtrack to the movie is top notch, and I was
humming the main theme to the movie for weeks.
There's actually TWO soundtracks available—one of just the instrumental
score (composed by Hans Zimmer), and one for the regular songs heard
throughout the movie. The Last Note of
Freedom and Deal For Life are quite good and fit the movie well.
