Films That Race to the Finish

It used to be that films about car racing catered to a specific audience, mostly young and predominantly male. But recently, car racing films have tried to reach across the aisle and bring in more female fans. With more complex plots and terrific action sequences, car racing films have grown in popularity in recent years.

Much is expected of a new biopic film released in September 2013. "Rush" tells the story of the Formula One rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda during the mid-1970s. Directed by acclaimed American master Ron Howard, the film is a joint production effort between Universal Pictures (United States), StudioCanal (United Kingdom), and Pathé Productions (France). Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl take on the roles of Hunt and Lauda, respectively. The film was released to critical acclaim, with many calling "Rush" the best sports drama film in a long while. Apart from "Rush," there have been many other car racing films that have achieved success at the box office. Some of the most memorable are elaborated upon in greater detail below.

"Days of Thunder"

Directed by the late Tony Scott, "Days of Thunder" features Tom Cruise teaming up with "Top Gun" director Scott once again. The film, which also stars Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, and Cary Elwes, follows the fortunes of a young NASCAR racing driver, Cole, played by Cruise. The early part of the film sees Cole and his archrival Rowdy Burns battle it out on the racetrack. At the Firecracker 400 in Daytona, each of them suffers major injuries from crashes that bring them together in the process. Cole takes longer to recover than Rowdy, and as a result he is shut out from the racing team. After Rowdy suffers another accident, Cole is allowed to get back on the race track. The final race is the Daytona 500, in which Cole overcomes the new hotshot Russ Wheeler to become the new champion. Film critics were mostly positive about the film, but some called it "Top Gun" on wheels.

Great Riddlers: Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective invented by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, conceptualized in 1887 and this series ended in 1927. During this time the character became very popular with the novels and short stories appearing in magazines. Since this time the character of Sherlock Holmes has been adapted into countless TV shows, plays and movies. Most famously and most recently Holmes was portrayed by Robert Downey Jr in the film Sherlock Holmes in 2009. He received a Golden Globe award for this portrayal and it did well enough to warrant a sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. In addition to this movie there are currently two popular TV shows based on Sir Conan Doyle's works entitled 'Sherlock' and 'Elementary'. Both of these shows were picked up for extra seasons.

On to the character himself, Holmes is an eccentric man who cares little for the plainness of society. He is somewhat inverted and he is always calm and collected. But his main character trait that we are concerned about is his ability to take the smallest and meaningless facts or traits of a person or situation to draw large assumptions. In this sense he is very good at solving riddles.
