Movies that feel likeRemember the Titans (2000)

After leading his football team to 15 winning seasons, coach Bill Yoast is demoted and replaced by Herman Boone – tough, opinionated and as different from the beloved Yoast as he could be. The two men learn to overcome their differences and turn a group of hostile young men into champions.

If you loved Remember the Titans, the closest films we have are In a Better World (2010), Wendy and Lucy (2008) and La Haine (1995). All three share Remember the Titans' contemplative and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Faces Places (2017).
