An uplifting sports drama and a stellar performance from Denzel Washington
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
One of the best movies of all time. The lessons effectively taught/harped on through classy, motivating and relatable scenes make this something I will forever watch and recommend. Denzel. Life lessons, and a message that was so important at its time that people needed to hear. (Some still need to hear it!)

Back before Superhero movies dominated the box office, movie studios were investing big into "Sports Movies". Disney made quite a few around the turn of the century. Stuff like "Miracle", "Rookie" and "Glory Road" are all good, but "Remember the Titans" is their best.
"Remember the Titans" is based on a true story about Coach Herman Boone, an African American coach who comes to coach at a Virginia High School the first year after the school had been racially integrated. Racial tension runs high throughout the community as Coach Boone and Coach Yoast teach these kids about a lot more than just football.
The acting by all those involved is top notch in this film. I will draw special attention to Washington who puts in a powerhouse performance. It should go without saying, I don't think Denzel has ever put in a mediocre performance. The music by Trevor Rabin hits all the right emotional beats, this is a really great and motivational soundtrack.
This movie is able to balance two different elements very well, sports and racial tension. Despite being a Disney PG movie, the film treats its audience with respect. It doesn't sugar coat a problem, nor does feel like it is preaching, it is just giving the facts. This film does take a couple creative liberties with the "true" story aspect, but never to the film's detriment and never to a manipulative degree.
And if you just came to this film to watch a solid sports movie, this film has you covered there as well. Sound bites of different motivational speeches can be used from this movie in locker rooms for decades after the film's release. The sports part does everything a sports movie should do. It pumps up the audience, it gets them to stand up and cheer, it motivates them to do better.
And at the heart and soul of this film we have the characters. They are likable, relatable and have conversations that feel real and natural. They go on compelling character arcs which have them grow as people in a realistic way.
If you are a fan of Sports movies, this is one of the all-time greats. Everywhere I go, people want to know, what's a great sports movie? So, I tell them, "Remember the Titans" the mighty mighty Titans.
