Summary: Hands down, one of the greatest movies I ever watched.
Review: Believe it or not, I never even heard of this movie until recently. I'm not a big sports fan, or a sport movie fan so when my boyfriend brough this over to watch, I was less than thrilled.However, once it started, I was captivated by it. The movie is made even better based on the fact it is based on a true story. The jist of it is this... Herman Boone, played by Denzel Wahsinton perfectly, takes over as new head coach at a high school that has been desegregated. Naturally, the town has mixed reactions. We watch as Boone, uses tactics that neither the players, the parents, the townsfolk or even his assistant coaches like to force the players to not only become a team but also respect each other as people. We watch as friendships form, and as a team forms. Eventually we watch as the winning football team, and essentially Boone brings the town together. This movie brings something to the table for everyone. I laughed, I cried, I even cheered during the games. A must see!

Summary: One Of My Favorite Movies
Review: As A Fellow Amazon.com Reviewer Told Me, "Always be Honest and Speak Your Mind." And That's What I'll Do. Remember the Titans is the true story of a small town in Virginia during the 1970's. The "white" high school and the colored "Black" high school are forced to combine into one school, the T.C Williams High School. From then on, everything turns to trouble, there are rallies, fires and fights. But just as the current football coach Yoast is about to enter the Virginian high school football hall of fame, he is replacded by his job by the new head coach, Coach Boone (amazingly acted by Denzel Washington), an experienced African- American Football Coach, from North Carolina. He asked Coash Yoast, to be assistant head coach when the two high schools combine. On top of this being between the two coaches, they both have to figure out how to bring the two teams into one team, the Titans and try to end the prejudice between the white and the colored players. Despite of 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 Movie is Defintly a Must Buy, becuase I have seen this movie numerous times, and never get tired of its humor, drama and prejiduce. This movie has made me laugh, cry, and made me very much wiser about the world. I suggest buying it, but if you are always like me you always have to see it first. But I Can almost guarantee that you will absolutely love and enjoy this film. The Soundtrack, is also worth checking out, which features the hit "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Tarell. It really is fantastic. Thanks for Reading, Jordan

Summary: Different than I expected
Review: When I rented "Remember the Titans", I expected to see a film with loads of football and plenty of on-field action. I was surprised, though, when the game of football had little to do with the film. Instead I watched a film packed with sincere acting and a truly moving story of how a black and white school were forced to merdge together and become one. We watched the difficult transition, first noticing the disliking of each other to the forming of friendships and bonds. Denzel Washington did a supurb job as the lead character. Without his amazing acting, this film would have flopped, but his passion made this movie so much better. He really drove this film forward, making it a truly wonderful picture. Unlike other films around today loaded with violence and dumb stories, "Remember the Titans" was a great film that was loaded with good dialogue and gave us the chance to watch an amazing film delivered in under two hours. One question, though. Why wasn't Denzel Washington nominated for an Oscar because of this film? I won't forget the Titans after watching this one. I guarantee you won't either.

Summary: I dont even know how to play football!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I have no clue how to play football and probably never will even though it has been explained to me a million times. It doesn't matter. This is a great, great feel good movie. I loved it. Its a great "family movie" but if you have a wild 5 year old running around like my crazy niece they probably wont sit still through it. Anyway, great movie! Its about mixed races coming together to win and becoming like brothers. If you liked Rudy you probably will like this even more.

Summary: A Classic
Review: This movie is an all around great movie. It tells the story of a football team during one of the darkest moments in American History. It deals with the realistic issue of racism and desegregation while entertaining with the story of a football team that against all odds learns to be one. The music, storyline, and casting are all top-notch. Anyone who has ever played football will get a chill during some of the game footage. I bought this movie right after it came out and still come back to it time and time again.

Summary: Best Movie
Review: I love watching sports movies that are motivating and inspiring, like Hoosiers. These movies are usually family friendly and fun to watch.
Remember the Titans is about a high school in Virginia that is addicted to football, and the culture revolves around the football teams. The Titans are a football team that is predominantly white, but then the schools integrate in 1971 and they have to intermingle with the African Americans. The coaching job is changed over to Herman Boone, who is an African American with a successful past record. However, he has to earn the trust of the white players and has to establish his leadership. There are many conflicts in this movie that demonstrate how it was difficult to gain acceptance for Boone, however he is a headstrong character and wins their acceptance.
This movie showed how the Titans, the football team that Boone coached, strived and worked hard to win the state AAA championship. This movie has a very good storyline and is inspiring. I gave it 4 stars because there were some inappropriate things in this movie that I thought were uncalled for, like a time in the locker room when a boy kisses another boy. There's also some exaggerated moments in the movie that border on being maudlin, however I generally liked the conversations . The movie is a bit long, though-almost 2 hours.
All in all, though, this is a motivational football movie that will leave you feeling good.

Summary: This movie is ok...
Review: But incredibly predictable. I am from MD and I know some people who went to TC. This movie is actually typical Hollywood...very preachy and very sappy. After seeing this movie, I researched the real Titans' history and I was surprised (well not really) that the director and producer exaggerated the racism. The article quoted one of the players and he said that things were not as the movie made it seem. Their problems weren't so much race-based as they were the problems of two different schools trying to combine football teams. Basically two teams used to having things done their way.
I wish the movie had stuck to what was real...but then, where's the drama in that? </sarcasm> Check out the true history of TC Williams and you'll appreciate that WAY more than this movie.
BTW, I agree with the reviewers who had to distinguish NoVA(Northern VA) from Southern Virginia. I totally know where you're coming from. I have friends who live in NoVa and they are NOTHING like my friends who live in Va Beach or Newport News. There are big differences between the "two Virginias" if you will...
Ok I'm done.

Summary: Remember The Titans indeed
Review: Excellent picture. Denzel Washington always blows me away with his acting ability because you forget its "Denzel" the actor and really get carried away in the story and really believe this is all really happening. At the end of the film, you're caught offguard and find yourself emotionally cheering for these kids and loving Denzel the Man once again.
