Summary: You will remember the titans...
Review: No matter whether you're a fan of sports or not, Remember the Titans is an incredibly inspiring film.
Based on a true story, it is set in 1971 at TC Williams High School, a school that is about to intergrate white and balck students for the first time.
The school's football team meet pre-season, and the separate white and balck groups must learn to get along under the guidance of Coach Herman Boon (Denzel Washington).
What follows is a remarkably touching and powerful story, that mixes tragedy and success.
Great acting by all involved, especially the black members of the cast, who are funny and add something else to an already 5-star film.
For movie fans of all genres, Remember the Titans is a great movie that will inspire you and having you watch it again and again. This is the greatest sports film ever made, and it is sure to have watching intently from beginning to end.

Summary: For you?
Review: A lot of people that are not interested in sports would probably not consider seeing this movie; I am one of those people--but I rented this; and was I amazed!!! I watched it over and over again, until I had to return it!This is a great movie for sport lovers, 60's-70's music lovers, or ANYBODY!! Denzel Washington does a great job playing as the football coach; especially in a time when the tensions between blacks and whites were so great (the football team is both black and white; which is great). There is much pressure on Herman Boone (Denzel), because if he looses one game he will be fired. This pushes him to push his team and to succeed and to all be friends for life... but I don't want to give the ending away. Like the description of the movie, this movie really brings Affirmative Action into the picture. The film is not serious, though; like I said before, there is great music, and many funny parts. I would recommend this movie to anyone-- any age, race or gender. I would also recommend the soundtrack, which includes: 1. Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
2. Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum
3. Peace Train - Cat Stevens
4. Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye - Steam
5. Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) - The Hollies
6. I Want To Take You Higher - Ike and Tina Turner
7. Up Around the Bend - Creedence Clearwater Revival
8. Spill the Wine - Eric Burdon & WAR
9. A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Leon Russell
10. Act Naturally - Buck Owens
11. Express Yourself - Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band
12. Titans Spirit (Score) I loved this movie, and I hope you have a chance to see this wonderful and meaningful movie!

Summary: Greatest Movie of all time!!!!
Review: This is my favorite movie. Denzel Washington plays an extrodinary role of the head high school football coach in Virginia in 1970. It's a story of the blacks and whites uniting and coming together for the first time. They experience a hate from the other race and coach Boone (Washington) tries to bring the team to equality. By the end of their winning season, the team unifyes and they become friends for life. The storyline is great and the actors did a superb job.

Summary: possibly Denzel Washington's best
Review: One reviewer said that Denzel Washington should have received an oscar for this movie and I agree! Remember the Titans is based on a true story and is very entertaining. If you are a fan of Denzel Washington or football movies then this one is for you. But even if you're a fan of neither I think you will enjoy this movie for the most part.

Summary: music
Review: i love good movies. my collection includes 'citizen kane' and 'spaceballs', and many in-between. so this movie is great, just another good movie, don't you know? but it's use of racially stereotyped music disturbs me. in this movie, all 'black' music is great, and all 'white' music is trash. ok, cinematic device and all, but please don't continue using this thing to sell movies. all this withstanding, this is an intriguing movie. i'd love to see it with a new date, which explains why i'm still alone.

Summary: Great movie
Review: I watched this movie as non-athletic marching band member in the middle of an anti-football bitterness trip. I was a hard sell on going yo see it, and only saw it because my brother insisted. And I loved it. It was one of only five movies in my life that have ever made me cry, along with Shawshank Redemption, Stepmom, Shine, and The Green Berets. Great film.

Summary: Saddness Of it All, not that Sad
Review: I would respectfully suggest that the previous viewer who posted with the Subject: "Saddness Of it All", doesn't have the facts straight. The school is _not_ currently an "all black" school as was stated by the previous viewer. This is what the school's own web site says about the demographics:
African American 43%
Asian Pacific 7%
Hispanic 25%
Native American 0.1%
White 25% Sounds reasonably well integrated in my opinion.
Sincerely,
Ron

Summary: Disney scores a touchdown with a true story.
Review: My interest in football comes and goes from time to time depending on the time of the year but "Remember The Titans" is one movie that I will remember for many years to come. This Disney movie starring Denzel Washington is a powerful, true story of a battle against the corrupt forced segregation at the high school in Virginia called T.C. Williams High School located in Alexandria, Virginia where a racial upheaval occurs when football coach Yoast played by Will Patton hires an African American coach named Herman Boone played by Denzel Washington to coach the T.C. Williams Titans and integrate T.C. Williams High School and is threatened with being fired if they lose a single game during their 13 game season. The players meet and hate each other at first but gradually learn to respect each other and use teamwork to overcome their petty differences. This movie is a marvelous portrayal of the struggle of integration of all, I repeat, ALL colors and the continuing struggle against the corrupt racial segregation and the ugliness of it's outcomes. The story is true and probably the story could not be better told than from the actual former players who actually played the championship game during this turbulent period in1971. The two coaches Yoast and Boone worked together to bring the Titans to victory in the Championship game amidst the racial turmoil and strife that clouds the atmosphere. Disney definitely scores a touchdown with a riveting true story of a turbulent time in America's history. Amidst all of the turmoil and hatred, the spirit of the Titans during this historic year will forever be remembered around the nation as one of the greatest achievements in high school football history. While Alexandria might have been going through racial tough times during the late 60s and early 70s, today, it's now a very diverse city of many different peoples (I lived there once) but de facto segregation has been and continues to be a huge obstacle to integration today. "Remember The Titans" is indeed a movie to remember.

Summary: I Do Not Know How I Missed This Film
Review: However, if you did let this film get past you, remedy the void by seeing this story. The well known names are very few, almost beginning and ending with Denzel Washington, although Will Patton has become a much more familiar face on screen in the 3 years since this film opened. There is also a tremendous performance by a young girl, Hayden Panettiere who knows as much about coaching and critiquing the team in this film as the two coaches played by Denzel and Will. I do not know of another film I have seen her in, but she is a treat to watch during this tale. Movies that are based upon, or inspired by true events are somewhat difficult to quantify for you never know how closely the true events are followed. This DVD has lengthy additional documentary features that bring to viewers not only the two coaches that made a seemingly impossible relationship work, but many of the players of the original team as well. The forced integration of the team and its high school was as ugly as any other imposed changes involving forced integration. In this case not only was a black coach hired, he then replaced a very popular and successful head coach, a job that not even he sought. It is a testimony to both men that you will meet in the film that they stayed, worked together, and produced one of the most successful high school teams in the nation. The accomplishments on field would have made a great story, that it was done amidst such racial strife is amazing. The cast of little known or unknown actors that were put together to create these teams are an amazing group. Whether they worked so well because of the material they were given, or it was just a pleasant happenstance is unknown, but they do a great job portraying not only the Titans, but their opponents as well. The film deals with race, and forced integration in all its ugliness and shameful behavior, and were it not for the fact the story is true, and you have a chance to meet the real people that were once the coaches and young men, it would be easy to dismiss this as Hollywood embellishment to varying extremes. But the men, who were the boys that year, will visit with you and you will reminisce with the coaches that guided them as an amazing group of young men. On a final comment, the soundtrack is phenomenal, that rare instance when you may likely go out and purchase it to place next to the DVD, so when the film is not on, the music will remind you of the great moments in the film.
