From 1999, what turned out to be Stanley Kubrick's last film "Eyes Wide Shut", let's just say I was disappointed with it.

“Days of Thunder” will always be Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s best movie.

“Runaway Bride” was no “Pretty Woman” either. I nominate that movie as another disappointment of the 90s.

I forgot about that one. “Days of Thunder” was a bigger deal in the early 90s because Americans were still “Top Gun” fans when it came out. “Days of Thunder” made a lot of NASCAR fans out of people who were into other sports at the time.

Uh, 1996 was when it was released in Britain. The song was released in the US in 1997.
