With only one major star (Denzel Washington), an appealing cast of fresh unknowns, and a winning emphasis of substance over self-indulgent style, Boaz Yakin's Remember the Titans is, like Rudy before it, a football movie that will be fondly remembered by anyone who sees it.

Set in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1971, the fact-based story begins with the integration of black and white students at T. C. Williams High School. This effort to improve race relations is most keenly felt on the school's football team, the Titans, and bigoted tempers flare when a black head coach (Washington) is appointed and his victorious predecessor (Will Patton) reluctantly stays on as his assistant. It's affirmative action at its most potentially volatile, complicated by the mandate that the coach will be fired if he loses a single game in the Titans' 13-game season. The players represent a hotbed of racial tension, but as the team struggles toward unity and gridiron glory, Remember the Titans builds on several subplots and character dynamics to become an inspirational drama of Rocky-like proportions.

Yakin--whose debut, Fresh, was one of the best independent films of the 1990s--understands the value of connecting small scenes to form a rich climactic payoff. Likewise, Washington provides a solid dramatic foundation (his coach is obsessively harsh, but for all the right reasons) while giving his younger co-stars ample time in the spotlight. The result is a film that achieves what it celebrates: an enriching sense of unity that's unquestionably genuine. (Ages 9 and older) --Jeff Shannon

This is a great movie. Even if you don't like sports, it is a good story. Delivery was fast. Completely satisfied.

- Misleading garbage...
Intentionally false portrayal of race relations and Civil Rights in Virginia circa 1970.

I attended high school in Virginia 1963-1964 and the schools were already successfully integrated statewide without incident and without any ongoing conflict. The events the story is based on actually took place in 1962-1963.

I contacted the producers of this movie to question why they knowingly altered history and their response was that people would not feel "connected" to the story ... Read More

- worth it
I just watched this movie and midway through it I had to stop and do some research. I basically groaned when I noticed that Disney did the film because I do NOT trust disney to ever stick to the facts when presenting anything "based on a true story". I was shocked by what I found.
They didnt stick to all the facts. No suprise. But what DID suprise me was how many they actually did stick with. Sure they took artistic license but at least I didnt have to chuck it as a total work of fiction...and ... Read More

- Seen It All Before
Denzel Washington stars as a coach brought in to lead a hitherto white high school team, circa 1971, to both victory and racial accord. Well practiced at spinning dross into gold, the actor has enough authority to make you briefly forget the corruption of Gregory Allen Howard's script -- he can clear a frequency for himself amid even the worst static. As one of those black characters who's never wrong, essentially because being wrong would make him human, Washington eases past the thicket of platitudes, ... Read More

REMEMBER THE TITANS!

This movie is great. It is about a football team in the 70's or 80's in Texas. They were one of the first teams to have black and white people together. At first the team does not get along but they go though rough times and learn how to get along and become a good team.

I think this movie is a good movie it has a very good moral. It is a good movie for everyone and any ages. I believe that blacks and whites should be treated the same. I think that you ... Read More
