Days of Thunder? Bahh.... It gets deep sixed because of Tom Cruise alone.

Driven? Yeah.. uh.. no.

It has to be, John Frankenheimer's...

Grand Prix

Yes, it came out in 1966, but, the racing scenes are intense.. the story line is a bit cliche. But, and for you hillbillies, it also starred.... your own, James Garner, who purportedly did most of his own driving...

If you have a chance to buy it... yes.. 2 thumbs up.

Get points for every person you run over, hit or kill with your car. Sylvester Stallone in I think his first movie...gratuitous nidity....

But Days of Thunder did get a fairly accomplished NASCAR driver discovered.

I gotta go with Greased Lightning as well, but to be honest I haven't seen most of the older ones that you guys have mentioned.
