Oh, it was fantastic. Not just for the cars but for the story around Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby. The chemistry between Matt Damon and Christian Bale is simply a treat.
Talk your wives into seeing it. It's a great family movie. My wife loved it and she's certainly not into cars. A female friend of ours also raved about it, and the only reason she went is because she got free tickets. She had no interest otherwise.

My wife shocked me the other day when she said she loved the trailer for this movie and wanted to see it. So we went to a matinee today at an AMC Dine-In theater. We were pleasantly surprised to find the food was pretty good. My wife is gluten intolerant and even though the food was not advertised as gluten-free she ate it without any negative reactions.
The movie was fantastic except my wife has a thing about bad endings. She said she thoroughly enjoyed it to that point. She even did a fist pump when Miles wins Daytona!

An empty house and a great surround sound system and you can duplicate the sound, my issue is finding a house large enough for that stinkin' screen!! lol

I was the 5 yo kid at fence with his clothes shaking as the Trans Am cars went past a few feet away. THAT is something my kids can never get... Watching Posey or Parnelli with their hands on the wheel, ready to catch the slide. It gets no better...
They don't even let you stand were I was any more. Losing our heritage...

Times are a changing. My Dad used to take me & a friend of his to see the Demolition Derby's. & there was a thin fencing up from where we sat, but when the cars made that bend we did get some dirt flung off the tires showering down on us. I was hooked.

That's funny. My friends and I used to go to a local dirt track when we were in HS. The first time we saw midget racers we sat at the bottom of the stands and got filthy dirty with the dirt spray. We sat high in the stands after that!
