Editorial Review:
Academy Award(R)-winner Denzel Washington (Best Actor, TRAINING DAY, 2001) gives a victorious performance in this stirring and uplifting film. REMEMBER THE TITANS is a rousing celebration of how a town torn apart by resentment, friction, and mistrust comes together in triumphant harmony. The year is 1971. After leading his team to 15 winning seasons, football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) is demoted and replaced by Herman Boone (Washington), tough, opinionated, and as different from the beloved Yoast as he could be. How these two men overcome their differences and turn a group of hostile young men into champions, plays out in a remarkable and triumphant story full of soul and spirit. You and your family will never forget the Titans.
Description of Remember the Titans (Widescreen Edition):
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

Wilcove - Remember the Titans
2008-08-25 - Remember the Titans with Denzil Washington is one of the most stirring movies I've ever seen. If you believe in social justice and you are passionate about sports, this movie is a collector's item (I bought it!). Denzil Washington should have won an Oscar for it. It's a keepsake!
Forget the Titans 
2008-08-04 - I knew this movie was in trouble right from the opening scenes. Ham-handed direction, stereotypical characters, trite dialog and predictable storyline. Honestly, I was thinking to myself, "Jeez, all it needs is for 'Spirit in the Sky' to start playing". Sure enough...
I kept on watching, though, hoping it would get better.
It didn't.
Plain but has an important message. 
2008-07-17 - Remember the Titans starring Denzel Washington I believe is a Disney film so expect a sappy ending but this movie is worth watching. The story deals with racial harmony, I like the message but you feel the producers wanted this film to be as sugary sweet as possible. Washington always gives a solid performance, he's reason enough to give this football film a viewing, enjoy!
