Summary: A MOVING STORY OF HEROIC DETERMINATION
Review: Denzel Washington is Coach Boone, a black football coach who finds himself in unfamiliar territory when he is appointed head coach of a high school team in its first year of intergration. When the fomer coach Yoast agrees to be his assistant it seems that turmoil and not determination will rule the squad.Boone's determination to win is only outmatched by his drive for racial harmony within the team and coaching staff. By forcing his players to interact he creates bonds and friendships. Throughout all of this he knows he must win or his tenure as head coach will be short lived. He must not only battle the racial tension in the team, but in the town as well. Only his sheer will can guide his team to the promised land. The movie is an outstanding piece of cinema. It adresses a social issue with raw emotional power. It teaches a lesson without screaming it in your face. The acting is without a doubt full of some of the best performances of the year to not have been recognized by Oscar and the likes. While Denzel Washington and Will Patton are phenomenal the show is stolen by the members of the team. Watch this film and you will get the point. An emotional five star film worth watching again and again.

Summary: Outstanding!!
Review: This is by far one of the best films I've seen in a long time. It captures a multitude of feelings from high to low. This movie demonstrates the strength of the human spirit to overcome many challenges. I too initially watched the movie on a flight and it instantly went to the top of my purchase list, and I encourage others do so as well. This isn't the best movie of all time, but it is certainly a fine edition to any DVD collection. I'm not even a big sports (football) fan, but I still thought this was a great film. Buy it today, you won't be disappointed!

Summary: I grew up in Northern Virginia during this time
Review: I was in High School in Northern Virginia during this time. My High School played TC WILLIAMS for the championship. George C. Marshall High School and I was at this game. Watching this movie had special meaning for me. I laughed and Cried and remembered that special time in my life. Denzel is so good in this as is Will Patton and all the ball players. I think this movie can teach us alot about ourselves and each other if we just open our minds. Watch this one with your kids.

Summary: great for all ages
Review: This movie not only showed how blacks and whites could come together in a time of need but it showed how you should not judge someone on their color. This movie was one was the most incredible movies i have seen. It shows two backgrounds coming together and making peace within their self and the community. At first it shows the hatred toward the blacks then it shows how generation have chagned the thoughts of young ones. Once some thought change the learning process begins. This movie is perfect for any football fan as well as anyone who loves to enjoy a good movie.

Summary: This movie about sports isn't just for guys!!
Review: When I orginally saw the trailer for this movie, I thought, "yet another movie about football." And while I like the sport, I'm a huge football fan, but I can't see movies about it. While returning home from a Bowl Game, they showed this movie on our airplane. You get drawn into the characters. When they start to become close with one another, you feel as if you are right there. It's a great story, that is a good movie for young and old. So all those women out there....this is a sports movie for date night!

Summary: Proud to have gone to TC.
Review: I went to T.C. Williams in the mid 80s. There was a bond that existed at that school between black and white, between Asian and Latino, a bond that crossed many different cultures. It existed in the city. I'm not saying everything was perfect. But the racial harmony that so many in the world are trying to find, existed there. From what I know that team truly did unite the town. Never underestimate the importance of a common cause of bringing people together. That is the power of sports in this country. That is very much the message at the core of this film. I knew both Coach Boone and Coach Yoast. Two finer men I defy you to find. These men are real, not fictional. I thank God that these guys helped pave the way for the wonderful educational AND cultural experience I had at T.C. Williams. Go Titans!!!

Summary: A Must see!
Review: Truly one of the best movies ever! I saw this on an airplane, and had tears in my eyes the entire movie. When it was over, I saw plenty of other passengers wiping their eyes! A truly historic look back at a painful, yet transforming time in our history. Denzel was terrific! Every American must see this - especially our younger citizens who have no idea what we went through in this country in the 60's and 70's.

Summary: Contrived, manipulative and cliched
Review: I recently watched this film on a trans-Pacific flight and if it wasn't for the fact that I was starved for the diversion after almost 10 1/2 hours I would've stopped watching halfway through. Because this movie revolves around racial themes you'll hear people talk about it in almost reverential tones. Well, I won't because it sucked. Think of every bad sports movie you've ever seen. Now place Remember the Titans at the top of that list. This movie trots out every Hollywood gimmick I can think of. If he loses a game he loses his job - oh no! Will he actually lose? The rich white kids hate the poor black kids and vice versa - oh no! Will they ever find some common ground? The mean city council tries to set-up the new coach - oh no! Will they actually succeed with their nefarious plan? The California, hippy quarterback just can't get the toss on the option - oh no! What will happen when he has to replace the starting QB? The all-star jock is injured just before the big championship game - oh no! Will the team pull through? I could go on, but I won't. You catch my drift. There are no redeeming qualities to this movie. I wish it had a stronger (or perhaps a more "real") message about race. I wish it had a stronger message about the triumph of the human spirit. I wish I could have enjoyed Denzel's performance. I wish they had made a better movie out of the material.

Summary: Forget the Titans
Review: This is a typical American "feel good" movie that can't seem to be able to rise above the obvious cloying conclusion toward which it slowly meanders.
