Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

jdb1999-0-225503 I have watched the movie "Wind" 25x. It is the only movie over 2 hours I have ever sat through without saying a single word. I started sailing 40 years ago at 6 years old. "Wind" captures the grace and beauty of sailing , the traditions in the "America Cup", the serious competitive nature of professional sailors. Matthew Modine & Jennifer Grey had a fun chemistry, evident intelligence which came through in their acting, Rebecca Miller was a lovable flake as the heiress. I can't say enough good things about this movie and wish more had seen it. I don't know if re-releasing it now would make it do better at the box office. Sadly, Francis Ford Coppola's contributions seem barely known. The recreation of the small margins then defined victory vs defeat were portrayed with great accuracy to the original race.

caspian1978 A comedian made a joke about Wind back in 1992. He said he didn't have time to see the movie Wind....it blew away before he could see it.Wind has a small audience of fans. If you own a boat, you may be a fan of a movie about yachts, clipper ships, fishing, boat racing, etc. If you are a fan of Matthew Modine and / or Cliff Robertson, you may be a fan of movies that star them. Oh, if you live in the area where a movie was shot, this could influence you to want to watch the movie when it comes to the local cinema. Besides these reasons, Wind as very few people that will want to see this movie. Although the idea and the story has merit, it "blow away" with the wind. And is it just me, or does the opening of the film remind you of the opening of Grease when Olivia Newton John and John Travolta are talking on the coast of the beach? The scenes are different, but also the same. Oh well, if you like boats or you live near Newport, Rhode Island, Wind may be a nice film to watch.....once.

bensails The film student in me appreciates this movie, the sailor in me loves it. A classic among the sailing community, it is beautifully shot, and tells a convincing fable about the costs of blind ambition and the value of redemption. The maincharacter, Will Parker, is loosely based on Dennis Connor and his performance at the 1983 and 1987 America's Cups. One of the few movies about sailboatracing, does turn heavy-handed at some points, but overall is an appreciable, tightly made film with high production values. I would recommend it.

grizzybj I highly recommend this movie. It is a love story that brings in action and is very inspiring. Both Matthew Modine and Jennifer Grey are believable in their parts, and you want them to succeed together. I rent this movie every year, and I enjoy it each time I see it.
