In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, an institution revered, each game celebrated more lavishly than Christmas, each playoff distinguished more grandly than any national holiday. And with such recognition, comes powerful emotions. In 1971 high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, the very foundation of football's great tradition was put to the test.

Roger Clarke Independent (UK) This is certainly full of worthy thoughts and intentions; but, in the end, Americans just don't seem to understand that American football seems as bizarre to most of the world as Eton Fives. Rated: 2/5 Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Inspiring football drama brings history to life. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Richard Schickel TIME Magazine Maybe it's all true. But one is always a little discomfited when life, or a movie, imitates weary melodramatic patterns this slavishly. Jul 31, 2008 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) Every lad is a stereotype, every sporting cliché is trundled out. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) It’s one of Washington’s better performances, one that saw him embody the spirit of Boone’s mission with the kind of show-stopping gravitas that’s made the actor such a force. Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The beating heart of the story is still powerful and pertinent which makes this film not only highly watchable entertainment but a thought-provoking (and hopefully in some ways enlightening) crowdpleaser.

Stephen H Denzel Washington is that guy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Rich S If you're a football fan and a movie lover, you know that films about football are usually inadequate. From my viewings, I'm not sure there will ever be a five-star film about football. But "Remember the Titans" comes close. With Denzel Washington lending his talent to the lead role -- and when has Denzel ever picked a bad movie to lead? -- Boaz Yakin might have close as anyone to reaching the pinnacle of the football film. It was the best of its type when I saw the film in October, 2000, and I still think it's one of the best sports movies I've ever seen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Jace E Remember the Titans is one of the best sports films ever made. With a strong message of unity and brotherhood at its core, I left this movie wanting to be better. Though some elements are melodramatic and overacted, the majority of the plot is full of true passion. From Denzel to Gosling, the actors in this film give it their all and bring this inspiring story to life. There isn't a dull moment in the 120 minute runtime and the football scenes are well-executed. Ultimately, I love this movie and everything that it stands for. Additional Note: The line "Don't you see the family resemblance? That's my brother" is an all-timer! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Faiz D A childhood favorite. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Carson K Everyone should see this Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Ariel V My favorite Sport's film.
