Summary: Remember the titains Dont miss this film
Review: This would have to be one of the best films to come out of Hollywood in years. The performance of all the actors in this great film, makes this movie a worthy winner of any award that it may acheive. Denzel Washington gives another great performance and so does Will Patton, Overall this is a movie that makes you feel good when it has finished.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best of its Kind
Review: To say that this is just a football movie would be a very shallow interpretation, it is so much more than that. This movie is heartwarming and gripping from the first opening logo all the way to the end.

To story is like this: two separate football teams (one white and one black) are forced to de-segregate into one team with Denzel Washington as their coach. At first they hate each other because they are different. But in time they form a bond, a brotherhood, and a friendship, and learn to see past their differences. It may sound sappy if you haven't seen it, but this is the best movie of its genre.

If you think it's just another lame live-action Disney film, think again. This goes way beyond that and explores the theme of friendship with just the right ammount of sentimentality. Do yourself a favor and buy this. Parents: it's rated PG for some mild words and tense situations. Most Highly reccomended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Calling ALL Coaches
Review: As a coach I found this movie motivating and a good reminder that coaching is not all fun and games. It reminded me that coaching is about preparing players for life outside of the sport in which they play. This is evidenced by the success of many of the real-life people portrayed in this movie.

I absolutely loved the relationship between the Washington and Patton characters. Just when I thought that their relationship had run its course and things were about to come to a head....

I highly recommend this movie to all who want to see a movie that has suspense, comedy and action. If you only buy one movie this year, this one should be seriously considered.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oscar qualilty movie!!!
Review: With all the talk about what films are being nominated for the Oscar, this movie does not even come up in conversation. This is one reason why I do not watch the Oscars any more; they just do not know how to nominated a great film anymore. This has tons of heart and character. It really shows how individuals come together to work together for a common goal. This movie is an inspritation to all who sees it! The performances by Denzel Washington and Will Patton are wonderful, as well as the entire cast. Washington, Patton, and even the little girl who play Will Patton's daughter should all be nominated for an Oscar for their performances. It should be nominated for Best Picture, Screenplay and Direction. This was the best film I have seen in a very long time!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Very Good Movie
Review: This is a great football movie. It shows the intensity of the game and the challenges that this team (The Titans) had to overcome. Denzel Washington plays the newly hired coach to the Titans, an all white football team. The main theme of this movie is the interacial going ons and the belief that people from different societies can get along and become friends. Other than that, we get to watch great football scenes where the hits just keep on coming. I for one think this is one of Denzel's best roles. If you're in the mood for a good drama and love football, then try this one out, you just might like it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. I even saw it twice. It was deep, but witty at the same time. The plot and script were very good. And the actors did a nice job. The only problem I had with it was it's predictabilty. Oh- and the foreshadowing at the begining was cool too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I am not a football fan and I did not expect to like this movie. But what a surprise! There is more to this movie than football. Growing up in the 70's I lived and went to school in a predominantly white area, so I can understand what it must have been like for BOTH groups of students to be forced to mix. Not knowing what to expect from each other, all they had to go on were prejudiced stereotypes. All of the young actors in this movie were fabulous and Denzel was great as always. This movie was filmed in Atlanta, and I got the fun of being an extra in the stands at the championship football game. Even though I saw about 10-15 takes of it, the final play was much more exciting from my perspective in the stands than it appears on film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Its An OK Film
Review: 'Remember The Titans' is a good movie. But the use of racial injustice in this film seemed rushed, and discomforting to watch. The movie just doesn't truly heed well in leading up to how this event led to increased equality among the characters of the story. This movie sort of seems somewhat like another movie, 'Varsity Blues.' Although they have almost nothing in common, they both emphasize the will to win and the importance of winning in football. But unlike 'Varsity Blues', this movie installs a message about racial hatred. Overall, I found that the parts where the African-American and white players had rollercoaster situations where they fought at times, and then celebrated a moment later made the movie flow like the movie was rushed. Thus I can only give it 4 out of 5.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wish I could give this movie six stars instead of five.
Review: Remember the Titans is the true story of a small town in Virginia during the 1970's. The "white" high school and the "black" high school are forced to combine into one as the town explodes in racial havoc. Just as the caucasian football coach Yoast is about to enter the Virginian high school football hall of fame, he is demoted to assistant head coach when the two high schools combine. The new head coach is Coach Boone (Denzel Washington), an experienced African-American football coach that recently moved there. On top of this being between the two coaches, they have to figure out how to bring two teams into one and to end the prejudice between the players.

Though the plot seems rather dark from the above description, the movie does a great job balancing itself so that it is dramatic and you are able to understand what racism was like during that time period, but there is plenty of humor to cause you not to be upset during the entire film.

This has got to be one of the best movies I have seen throughout my entire life (okay, I'm only fourteen, but give me a break). I saw this movie three times while at the movie theaters (my mom saw it five times; believe me, she isn't the type to see a movie while it's in theaters that many times), and you can bet that Remember the Titans will become a part of my video library when it comes out on video. This movie made me laugh, made me cry, and made me that much wiser about the world. When Remember the Titans comes out on video, please at least do yourself the favor of renting it. I can almost guarantee that you will absolutely enjoy this film. That's how good it is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Movie with Substance over style.
Review: Refreshing change of pace at the movies as Denzel plays a football coach on the nation's first intrgrated team of players. Screenplay is writen with heart and soul and all of the actors give solid performances. I wish they would make more movies like this where the story and the human characters are given all the attention, and not the special effects or news that so called Big Name Stars got triple figure saleries to appear in the movie.
