Remember The Titans (2000) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction 

Thank you all for the support. We now have a website: awesomeusmovies.com Make sure you check out my 2nd channel: www.youtube.com/@awesomeshows Full Reactions to all my movies on Patreon: www.patreon.com/awesomeusmovies

the car accident was altered a bit from what really happened, in the 60s-early 70s gm had to recall their cars because the engine mounts would fail and tilt the engine, causing the throttle linkage to stick wide open, and gerry was borrowing his moms 71 camaro when the mount failed and he lost control

I do a Fake 23 Blast with a Backside Reverse when I get out of bed each morning!

- Released in 2000; directed by Boaz Yakin; written by Gregory Allen Howard. - Coach Yoast actually had three other daughters in real life, but they decided to focus on Sheryl, because she did like attending the game. While the real Bill Yoast was upset about this, his other daughters didn't mind. Sadly, the real Sheryl Yoast died in 1996 at the age of 34 from an undetected heart condition. - To get a better shot at authenticity, Boaz Yakin used two real-life high school referees from Atlanta, including the one who played the crooked referee. - Kip Pardue (Ronnie "Sunshine" Bass) did play high school and college football in real life, at Yale. He played defensive back at Dunwoody High School in Atlanta, and center field on the high school baseball team. - Ethan Suplee (Louie Lastik) also co-starred with Denzel Washington in "John Q" and "Unstoppable." - The Perry High School (Perry, Georgia) marching band was chosen to be the marching band in the movie, largely because their colors were the same. They were given a semi-truck trailer as a thank you. The training camp scenes were filmed at Berry College, also in Georgia. - Several characters were added to the film for dramatic purposes, and weren't real. Among them were Ray Budds, Alan Bosley and his dad, and Coach Tyrell. - Denzel Washington turned down a role in "Pay It Forward" to do this film instead. - Originally, there was more profanity in the script, but Walt Disney Pictures asked producer Jerry Bruckheimer to tone it down. I believe this is one of the first (if not *the* first) PG-13 movies released by Walt Disney Pictures.

Strong side! Left side! Strong side! Left side!

So you have seen two of the players on the team in movies on the channel before: Gary Bertier played by Ryan Hurst you saw him in Saving Private Ryan he is the guy who knew Private Ryan and told Tom Hanks what town to go to to find him. You also have seen the guy who plays Allen the kid who was too slow to cover, he is play by Ryan Gosling from The Notebook. The defensive co-ordinator Coach Yoast was played by Will Patton, you have seen him in Armageddon as Chick they guy who leaves his little boy the spaceship.

One of the movies I grew up watching with my mom! My favorite part is when after the car crash, in front the other players and coach, he was already talking about the Olympics. I love the goal mindset that kept his spirits up, and the spirits of the others. It was a great callback to when Julius told him “attitude reflects leadership”.

I would absolutely recommend 'Cool Runnings' for both a sports movie AND a comedy. Grew up watching it and it still satisfies my funny bone. John Candy is in it, as well as a few others that Im not sure you'd recognize

Now do Training Day so you can see how gifted an actor Denzel is!

John Q should be in your Denzel week.

And you're so right about Gettysburg! I went there as a 7th grade student and I could not shake the heavy feeling as soon as I stepped foot on the property. I don't believe in ghosts at all, but it genuinely felt like those men were still there. It's like this oppressive sadness in the atmosphere, like thousands of mourners are outside watching you, but there's nobody there. I thought I was the only one who felt that way, but since then, I've heard several people talk about having that same sensation.

9:09 looks like James is riding in the bus with them😂😂

I can't express how much I love this film. I've seen it so many times yet still cried and laughed along with you. Fantastic reaction, thanks so much.

Ryan gosling was in the movie THE NOTEBOOK (Noah). He was the kid dancing to country music

Great Movie that should be shown and discussed in Schools

35:05 - Not Special Olympics; Paralympics. I think Shotgun was a rare formation for High School offenses, pre 2000. Now a days it's more common. The daughter should deserve an Emmy for her performance.

Great Reaction! Other Denzel gems are The Bone Collector, Man on Fire, Flight, John Q

One of my favs.❤ There’s a movie with Denzel- A Soldier’s Story. A murder mystery on s black base during WWll, they are also dealing with racism but with a twist….

Oh boy. . .I see we're going to be crying today 😢

One of my top five sports movies. The message is still so relevant. Gary and Julius’s friendship is my favorite thing about this movie, to see where they started and then to the love and respect they had for each other. Movies based on true stories are the best.

Training Day and American Gangster are brilliant Denzel Washington performances. He was very good in Philadelphia, The Book of Eli, Man on Fire, The Tragedy of MacBeth and Flight too.

35:00 _Paralympics_ actually. Special Olympics is a different organization altogether, with a different kind of athlete.

Oh James, how happy I am to see that you’re reacting to this exceptional film! Now I’m gonna go watch your reaction☺️

Looooove this movie it's so powerful. I grew up near Gettysburg so it's close to my heart. Another one I love, that not a single person has reacted to and I can not fathom why, is we are Marshall, another true football story.

John Q and Fallen are good Denzel movies

JOHN Q another great Denzel film

I love this movie. R.I.P. Coach Boon.

An early Denzel movie I wish someone would react to is called A Soldier's Story. He has a small, but very powerful role.

14:05 the tone of that "what the hell?" lol

the ACTUAL final game of the titular Titans' season; they won 27-0. They were VERY good.

4:40 Hey, that's the grits cook from My Cousin Vinny!

That sound effect for the swear jar took me out at 32:00 😂😂😂 I loved it so much!

You would probably enjoy these other 'based on a true story' sports films, called "We Are Marshall" (2006) & "Hoosiers" (1986)

Secretariat is technically a sports movie....

I'm so excited for this! Chokes me up every time. ❤

Great reaction as always sir. Someone said u should watch John Q next and i agree! Its my favorite Denzel movie. I think you will enjoy it

My other favorite true sports movie is Cinderella Man. A lot of big actors are in it, and it’s similar to this in that it’s very much about the characters and it’s feel good.

Great reaction. There are soooo many good sports-related movies you'd probably really enjoy: Air Ali The Blind Side The Color of Money Hoosiers Invictus Jerry Maguire Miracle Money Ball My All American Mystery, Alaska The Replacements Tin Cup Two For the Money We Are Marshall....and soooo many more,,,

I love this movie. And because it's a true story makes it even more awesome. James, have you reacted to a women's baseball movie, that's also a true story, titled A League of Their Own? It has Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, and a few other recognized actors. I think your subscribers would love to see your reaction to it. Please consider it. Thanks.

I used to play high school ball just like these guys they inspired me to play football

I hope you watch John Q. It is really Denzel best movie. There is also Virtuosity (1995) which was one of Russell Crowe earlier role.

Been waiting on this ! Ain’t no mountain high enough baby

Not a sports movie, but based on a true story - Hidden Figures. Information we didn't get in school.

Yes they still have camps for football in high school.

Great reaction. One of the all time favorite sports films and definitely a cultural touchstone for many of us. Suggested sports movies... - Major League - The Replacements - Friday Night Lights - Bend it Like Beckham - The Rookie - Field of Dreams - 42 - Million Dollar Baby - The Rocky Franchise (including the Creed films) Not so much about the game/sport - but more of the drama which happens behind the scenes - Trouble with the Curve - Moneyball - Draft Day Since you are clearly a fan of cars... - Ford vs Ferrari You'd probably also enjoy "Gone in 60 Seconds" with Nick Cage

Love this film. More people should watch/react to this 😄

Gerry had his 1st accident sometime after the State Championship.

If you loved this movie, you need to watch either “Radio” or “Hardball” or both of course!!

A really great Denzel Washington movie is Fallen from 1998 it's one of my all-time favorite movies of his

We Are Marshall is another emotional football movie

If you're doing Denzel movies you must do "training day". One of Denzels best and one my all time favorite movies. You'll see him in a different kind of role than what you've seen so far and he does fantastic!

Aside from being one of the finest Sports Movies ever, it's also an excellent and important film in general. Also, just an absolutely stellar cast (especially a young Hayden Panettiere, who is hilarious and adorable). You're in for a treat here, Good Sir. 👍🥃

Others have mentioned it, but I vote for 'Miracle' as your next sports movie. : )

Been a while since I’ve seen this but never forgot how good it is! Thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction, easily one of the best sports movies out there.

The Ghosts of Gettysburg tour is so great! I totally agree with you about the vibe of Gettysburg in general; it's a great experience for anyone interested in American History.

You said “special Olympics” but sure you meant to say “Paralympics” ❤

Another two Denzel movies that I'd recommend are called "Deja Vu" and "The Book of Eli". Very good movies in my opinion. Also, you might be the first reactor I've seen that didn't recognize the actress playing Sheryl, Coach Yoast's daughter, but since you're still catching up on movies and tv, it's not surprising you haven't gotten to "Heroes" yet.

Great movie, I remember watching this a lot when I was younger but when you said Special Olympics instead of Paralympics I LAUGHED SOOOO HARD

For more Denzel, may I suggest “Fallen” or “Deja Vu”

Some sports movies to consider - Hoosiers, Miracle, The Rookie (disney), American Underdog, Rudy (which you mightve already done actually), Eight Men Out, Secretariat, Moneyball...among many others, but those are some that immediately come to mind...love your reactions though!!

Sadly some people still think like that

I really hope Hurricane Season is on your list too. It's not nearly as popular as Titans, but imho just as good!

I really hope you watch John Q

I need to correct you James. They are NOT special Olympics. The Special Olympics are for developmentally disabled people Wheelchair games or....the Paralympics are for physically disabled people. They are not the same and never were. Keep enjoying great movies!

Great movie! It's one of my favorites.

Gettysburg is just a two hour drive from me here in PA!

COME TOGETHER!! RIGHT NOW! OVER FOOTBALL!

If you found Gettysburg moving, visor Cullodden.

Great movie, great reaction! If you want another true story football movie, you should watch We Are Marshall, an emotional roller coaster for sure.

23 Blast is another good football movie.

Another great movie !!!

Oh yes….summer camp is still definitely a thing in high school football!!

Love this movie, glad you had a chance to check it out!

This is a great movie...there is only one race that race is the human race...

If you liked this, you should watch Coach Carter.

AYYYY BIG DAWG!!!! I NEED YOU TO WATCH 2 GUNS!!!! ITS DENZEL WASHINGTON AND MARKY MARK(MARK WALHBERG)

another great reaction.. every reaction of yours that i have seen was good..

You should watch WE ARE MARSHALL

Great movie, and great review. Only thing is if you put the year of the movie in your titles, that would help. I'm a timeline guy.

My wife and I love this movie and if you like 80s nostalgia you should watch stranger things my wife and I watched it last spring and we loved it

U gotta watch Sons Of Anarchy

If you’re gonna do football movies, Friday Night Lights is the best high school football movie.

Paralympics, not Special Olympics . Two different events

Do you remember what the three channels on your TV were? Ours had 3, 5, and 8.

Do you suggestions that are my favorites Woodlawn Invincible The replacements

You should see Rudy

Oh yes. This one I watch with James. Again 🙄

Great movie!! 😊 I hope you enjoy this movie! God Bless! 🙏

Hello my good sir

Hey James! Another great reaction 😊 I am neither an athlete or a sports fan at all, but I love sports movies! They are always fun and heartwarming ❤ (and occasionally weird lol) Check them all out!

The fact it has taken 2 years for your channel to get to Denzel, but you have seem like 10 Adam Sandler movies tells me something is off.

23:49 most modern cars are so dang ugly and goofy lookin I can't stand it lmao

Funny how you have to be a certain shade to be a “race man” 😂😂
