You should do We Are Marshall next. It's based on the true story about the Marshall University Football team who had to re-create the football program from scratch after Southern Airways Flight 932, the plane the football team was on, crashed into a hill, killing 37 players, 8 members of the coaching staff, and 25 boosters on November 14, 1970. Today, Marshall University plays this film for freshmen during their orientation, calling their story an "Ashes to Glory" story. The Ashes being the plane crash, the glory being their ability to rise above it. This isn't in the movie because it happened long after it premiered, but sadly, Reggie, who was the youngest on the team at the time (he wasn't on the plane because he was injured), died a few years ago due to a fall at his house. In life, he went on interviews telling the story, not wanting this tragedy to be forgotten. It's an important story because it shows how a football team who lost nearly everyone, triumphed over tragedy.
@@amber.ren_1995 4) Miracle It's a true story hockey movie starring Kurt Russell. It's about the USA hockey team that defeated Russia in the Olympics. It's what the movie Mighty Ducks 2 is loosely based off of.
I can’t believe Bryce and Rob never heard of the Frosted Flakes jingle 😂 I don’t think they’ve played it in commercials recently but it was really popular years ago
the timing of the cut to rob and bryce crying + zuff’s comment abt pressing the gas pedal too hard actually had me laughing so hard lmao i love you guys
Glad y'all checked this out, it's such a great movie. Denzel rarely (if ever) misses. FYI: in real life, the accident that paralyzed Gerry actually happened on his way from a banquet honoring the players for their undefeated season, not before the championship game.
As someone from SoCal, Sunshine ☀️ was always one of my favorites! 🥰 And no he’s not Eddie Redmayne from Fantastic Beasts, the actors name is Kip Pardue. The reason Sunshine kissed Bertier was to get him off his back, he called him a fruit cake earlier so that was his way of getting him to shut up 🤭 And yes that was Hayden Panettiere as the little girl! Seeing you guys react to this makes me want to see your reaction to The Help… such a good movie! ☺️
Just to clarify one little positional thing: Ray wasn't an OL. He was a TE. Also, my favorite joke of the entire movie is such a throwaway that it always gets missed: when Julius visits Gerry at his house, Gerry says, "Your taxi had a siren on it." It cracks me up every time.
The actual TC Williams team that the movie was based on was unfairly good. They were 13-0 and with 9 of those wins being shut outs. They out scored their opponents 356-45 throughout the season including a 27-0 win in the state championship game where the other team was held to -5 yards of offense the whole game.
Yep. The game against GCM was mid season but their toughest of the year. Makes sense why they took creative license and made this the championship for the movie.
@@that.ll_do_pig I don't remember the exact details but because they were integrated they had at least twice as many students as all the other schools they played.
So glad y’all did this one. This is a top 5 movie for me. I’m not even a fan of football but that just speaks to how expertly they layered it with so many other strong, heartfelt themes. Plus I’m a sucker for a good motivational speech and this movie is full of them. Yost’s whole “you blitz all night!” speech makes me feel like I could run through a wall like the koolaid man. This is the best sports movie ever made and that’s the hill I’ll die on
I'm a TC alum! Couldn't go without watching this movie at LEAST once a year. Petey Jones was there bright and early in front of the school every day to greet students coming off the buses. RIP Mr. Petey!
I was living in DC when this happened. They were racially tense times. The Titans' perfect season had a powerful effect on people. It was the first time for a lot of folks to see that integration could work and be a good thing.
Sunshine was his actual nickname even through college. He quarterbacked for South Carolina and became a sportscaster for a local news station after college. HIs little brother played for South Carolina, as well!
The main guy, Gerry Bertier, is Ryan Hurst. With much longer hair, he played Opie on “Sons of Anarchy” and Beta on “Walking Dead” among many other roles.
Haha! I just commented this! I scrolled the comments for ages now I found your comment! So glad I wasn't the only other person to know who Ryan Hurst is!
I love Ryan and this was the first movie that I watched from him and since then I became his fan! Opie is still und will always be my favorite character ever!! And SOA is my favorite show ever
@@JBjopa8 Same for me! I preferred Opie to Jax in SOA. His character was more grounded and I felt more for Opie when Donna was killed, than I ever did for Jax when Gemma killed Tara. Nice to hear from a fellow Opie supporter!
Yessss!! This one is a classic. I grew up in Alexandria,VA and went to Hammond then moved to Annandale - basically where all this took place and it’s required viewing in school, grew up watching this film. One of the best film soundtracks too. So happy for you all, experiencing this for the first time!
My mom grew up in Alexandria too and went to TC Williams the year it integrated, she was really young at the time and remembered being confused by all the chaos.
What was the atmosphere like there regarding racism? Did kids resent having to watch this in school? I'm in my 30s and grew up in Southern California, in a neighborhood with basically every race. But my mom sent me to a "better" high school an hour away, in an all-white area, and they had their own KKK. It was ridiculous. I'm white, so I blended in, but I hated seeing all the Nazi crap and the teachers acting like it was normal. I loved this movie growing up. I wished my mom would become open minded like some of the characters.
15:15. Probably was already said in other comments, but Ryan Gosling was 18 in this. Probably one of the very few who look like and was an actual teenager in this.
I was 27 in Mexico on a vacation. My friend and I went to the room to chill. This came on. We had a nice rest than got involved in this. It was amazing. We cried and then had another nice day of our vacation. Such a great movie.
This was the only movie my school seemed to have, so every rainy lunchtime or substitute teacher day would end up with the TV being wheeled out and we would watch this movie. From Year 8 to Year 10, the only movie - and we would all sit and actually watch it. Everyone in my class could quote this movie from start to finish.
Densel got an academy award for this movie. Boone was actually stricter and was eventually removed as head coach for being too mean. The real Boone admits it, but it was needed at this time.
Denzel did not even get nominated for this movie. Boone was fired from his coaching position in 1979, after allegations of player abuse and related complaints by three assistant coaches He subsequently retired from coaching and appeared as a public speaker at functions regarding his time as coach.
You guys are young, this is the way we were coached when I was in highschool, tough! Run and exercise us to the point that in the fourth quarter we were not tired. And get in our face maybe even slap our helmet or grab our facemask when we screwed up and it worked. I was on two undefeated teams. I had the privilege of interviewing Coach Yoast and Coach Boone when I was working for KSWO channel 7 in Lawton Oklahoma
Sunshine kissed Bertier because they were all joking that he was effeminate or gay so Sunshine leaned into it and threatened Bertier's own masculinity by kissing him
Lol no. Nothing funnier than women trying to act like they know anything about guys going by some random feminist narrative. He did it so that the rest of the guys stopped joking about it unless they wanted the same treatment. Basically saying "if you keep thinking about it you must be too, since you seem interested, so I'll give you what you want". He got the result he wanted, because nobody kept teasing him about it after and focused on him as an actual individual.
@@Angelica4Equity Sure. You keep talking like an insecure woman that holds on to modern discourse to make sense of the world. You know all those mostly idiotic narratives weren't really a thing when the movie came out right? If you were a lesbian, you wouldn't want a man kissing you, it has nothing to do with you being threatened. Just all to do with a lesson of stop effing with me or you'll get what you're asking for.
@@bura19 Not really. But I see you're a woman as well. Trying to "get" guys in the same idiotic way incels act like they know how women feel and interact and all their motives. It's way different to make someone question their masculinity than to simply make them uncomfortable. Say a straight woman kisses a gay guy, and he feels uncomfortable, it's not his sexuality or anything else being put to test. He simply won't like it since he doesn't like women, and he'll avoid being put into the same position again. Not everything about masculinity and men is weak, shaky and questionable as some of you femcels seem to love to imply at the smallest chance
I had the great pleasure of meeting Ryan Hurst (Gerry) a few years ago. Apart from him being extremely tall, he is one of the SWEETEST guys you will ever meet. Most of his social media interactions are about him and living a peaceful Buddhist life. (To put into perspective the size difference between me and him, I was 24 and my friends said I looked like a child who found a father figure at the end of a Disney movie)
This is one of my all time favorite movies, hands down! Truly an awesome movie, excellent story, great acting. Julius and Gerry’s friendship chokes me up every time, especially when Julius comes to visit him in the hospital, and he calls Julius his brother. Man, o’ man… great scene! I love how Julius gives Gerry’s mom a big ol’ bear hug and picks her up off the floor. What a way to break the tension. I love this movie!
Yeah that whole who's your daddy scene also hits a lot harder when you realize Gerry's dad is dead. Also, Gerry died in a car accident from a drunk driver.
Become homeless and penniless and show me who your friends and family are, people are merely acquaintances because the banks and government and corporations have destroyed families and fathers and communities by everyone worshipping money
One of my favorite movies to this day my grandmother show this to me when I was little and this is one of my favorite movies we can all watch as a family every time from time to time and never gets boring It’s a timeless classic with so many lessons.
Glad you guys finally were able to watch this classic movie. I strongly encourage you guys to watch the “ We Are Marshall” movie. It is another based on a true story movie I really enjoy!
My mom attended this school the year it integrated. She was in elementary school at the time and didn't understand why the adults were so angry about one shy little girl that was in her class.
I love this movie so much. It's one of my favorite sports movies. It's hilarious that you guys said Ryan Gosling looks too young and small to play football, they were in high school!
this is one of my top 4 favourite movies of all time i always come back every now and then to rewatch yalls reaction to it im so glad you guys loved it!
A League of Their Own, We are Marshall, Brian Piccolo, I was going to say Rudy but someone mentioned it! And Go Jets! (secretly a Bills fan...) Oh and Heaven can Wait! (oldie but goodie)
Just saw this reaction and really enjoyed it. Fun fact, Coach Boone later said that it was not a brick that was thrown through his front window-it was a toilet. He said decades later that he didn't think he was over it yet. It really upset him and the implications were not lost on him. He said he figured Disney didn't want to go that far and he got it, but still thought the impact of the moment was diminished by substituting a brick.
When I was in high school in the 1960s there were some small guys on the teams, but Ryan admits to never being a jock and that they like to pick on him. I saw a guy during the 25th anniversary of this movie talking about Ryan and that he would make a suggestion and ask to try it and in most cases they kept it in the movie.
The whole "who do they think they are, the NY Jets" was during the time the Jets were running the shotgun formation almost exclusively because Joe Namath's knees were so damaged that he could not scramble like he once could.
Another excellent historical Denzel movie is The Great Debaters. I've never seen any reaction channel react to any movies related to the Jim row Era , segregation or race relations!! I'm so glad yall reacted to this movie. I would love for more ppl to openly react to movies like this.
Nelson Mandela, the first democratically elected black president of South Africa once said, “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair." he himself used rugby to prevent a civil war between black and white South Africans after the end of apartheid. The movie "Invictus" is based on that. I know the movie Invictus is heavily copyrighted, but maybe you guys can watch it and do a review
'Sunshine' is Kip Pardue, NOT Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne- who's British, Pardue is American, known for 'Rules of Attraction' 'Thirteen' 'But I'm a Cheerleader'
I remember the night in 1970 when the crash happened. I was watching the Tonight Show and a news flash came on. Living in a small Friday night lights town everyone was devistated. And we cheered when they won the championship.
The big fella, Louie Lastik. Went to off to college and lived and died here in my hometown. Clarksville m, Tennessee. Not a super notable comment to the film but it's great that he graduated and made himself a good life here.
The fucked up thing ab the real Garry is he was paralyzed from an accident with a drunk driver then later killed in an accident with a drunk driver. U can look the story up too it’s crazy
Love a good sports movie this is definitely at the top of the list the story was very touching, and with the time period you get to watch both sides start to understand and respect each other them having to touch that field together and trust each other is what makes the movie so good because like it or not your team is your family 👏🏾
This movie is my favorite sports movie ever. Have watched it dozens of times especially when I was younger. It remains one of my favorite Denzel movies, and he is in so many freaking movies.
Many people don t realize Louie just moved from Bayonne, NJ. New Jersey had been desegregated since the late 40s. He probably had black classmates and friends back in Bayonne. That's why, much like Sunshine, he's oblivious to the racial tensions that are going on in Virginia.
Inspirational sports movies are my guilt free pleasure. Rudy, remember the titans, invincible, a league of their own, greatest game ever played, the rookie, the sandlot, 42. Like the best movie genre hands down
my boy on the rights comments are a breath of fresh air, i can tell it rubbed him the wrong way in a good way, doesnt like any of the nonsense, i appreciate all of yall tho, my type of people. glad yall enjoyed this. look forward to checking out more of yalls content
One of my favorite movies. Especially since my parents grew up in Alexandria and went to TC Williams. Funny story, when the movie came out, Coach Boon stopped by my hair salon and was asking people if he knew who he was and was giving his autograph.
It's so weird seeing Ryan Hurst play this part as Gerry Bertier. I can't look at him without seeing Beta from ''The Walking Dead'' or Opie from ''Sons of Anarchy". His character in "Lonestar State of Mind" though has to be my favorite!
Great reaction. I loved, too, the changes in the players, the adults... how they realized they were all people, they could all work, play, be together. One of my favorite movies for many reasons (and I'm no football fan!).

It's a true story hockey movie starring Kurt Russell. It's about the USA hockey team that defeated Russia in the Olympics. It's what the movie Mighty Ducks 2 is loosely based off of.
The line "you can't be hurt like this you're superman" makes me heave with sobs EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I can’t believe Bryce and Rob never heard of the Frosted Flakes jingle 😂 I don’t think they’ve played it in commercials recently but it was really popular years ago
Justice for Zuff!!
I knew exactly what he was talking about when he said it 😂😂
Gaslighting tf out of him lmao
I know right lol
Fr don't play him like that lol
"Maybe I pushed him too hard." "I think he just pushed the gas pedal too hard." Lmaooo Zuff caught me so off guard with that one.
That part had me dying!😂
I died when he said that.
😂😂
😂😂😂 yes I went from crying to burst out laughing 😂
Zuff, don't let them gaslight you lol! That is definitely the chant used in the frosted flakes commercials
the timing of the cut to rob and bryce crying + zuff’s comment abt pressing the gas pedal too hard actually had me laughing so hard lmao i love you guys
no i started laughing i was wheezing 😭
for real!! i was like, damn Zuff, you’re a savage 😂😂😂
I was not expecting that comment and cackled!
This movie is such a classic!! It's timeless and one of my favorites.

"Attitude reflects leadership" one of the best lines in film

@@williamletourneau1446 iirc, it was three schools that were integrated. It was a very stacked team.
“You’re hall of fame in my book” is definitely my favourite part of the movie
I love y'alls obsession with Ryan Gosling being so tiny compared to the others lol Cracks me up. I never even thought of it before, but now I see it.
So glad y’all did this one. This is a top 5 movie for me. I’m not even a fan of football but that just speaks to how expertly they layered it with so many other strong, heartfelt themes.

There was a commercial for Frosted Flakes that used the “Mighty Mighty Tiger” chant.

This is one of my “ cry every time I watch “ films.
15:15. Probably was already said in other comments, but Ryan Gosling was 18 in this. Probably one of the very few who look like and was an actual teenager in this.

Can still quote almost the whole movie to this day!
I know nothing about American football but I love this movie it’s a timeless classic and denzel is just brilliant as usual glad you guys loved it

Highschool Football was the best time i had in school
This is one of my all time favorite movies, hands down! Truly an awesome movie, excellent story, great acting. Julius and Gerry’s friendship chokes me up every time, especially when Julius comes to visit him in the hospital, and he calls Julius his brother. Man, o’ man… great scene! I love how Julius gives Gerry’s mom a big ol’ bear hug and picks her up off the floor. What a way to break the tension. I love this movie!
I love that by the end you said "we did it" heartwarming
Yeah that whole who's your daddy scene also hits a lot harder when you realize Gerry's dad is dead. Also, Gerry died in a car accident from a drunk driver.
Watching a movie about high school : "Ryan Gosling looks like he's 16!?"
Everybody needs a friend that will come over the top of a sad moment with an absolute banger to lighten the mood. Great reaction!
Become homeless and penniless and show me who your friends and family are, people are merely acquaintances because the banks and government and corporations have destroyed families and fathers and communities by everyone worshipping money

Glad you guys finally were able to watch this classic movie. I strongly encourage you guys to watch the “ We Are Marshall” movie. It is another based on a true story movie I really enjoy!
Growing up we had "the sandlot" " the little giants" and "remember the titans "
A very good movie.

Love this movie so much 😩

Another great football movie that counts as a tearjerker is Invincible (2006) with Mark Wahlberg as the main role.

When I was in high school in the 1960s there were some small guys on the teams, but Ryan admits to never being a jock and that they like to pick on him. I saw a guy during the 25th anniversary of this movie talking about Ryan and that he would make a suggestion and ask to try it and in most cases they kept it in the movie.
He was right about the frosted flakes song. They used it as their promo song for aw while
The original head coach is the same actor that plays Bruce Willis's best friend in the movie Armageddon
The whole "who do they think they are, the NY Jets" was during the time the Jets were running the shotgun formation almost exclusively because Joe Namath's knees were so damaged that he could not scramble like he once could.
dope fact :)
"The Kiss" - This was Sunshine's method of "F'ing" with Bertier's mind because Bertier called Sunshine "Fruitcake" the first time they saw each other.
Another excellent historical Denzel movie is The Great Debaters. I've never seen any reaction channel react to any movies related to the Jim row Era , segregation or race relations!! I'm so glad yall reacted to this movie. I would love for more ppl to openly react to movies like this.
Nelson Mandela, the first democratically elected black president of South Africa once said, “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair."
he himself used rugby to prevent a civil war between black and white South Africans after the end of apartheid. The movie "Invictus" is based on that. I know the movie Invictus is heavily copyrighted, but maybe you guys can watch it and do a review
'Sunshine' is Kip Pardue, NOT Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne- who's British, Pardue is American, known for 'Rules of Attraction' 'Thirteen' 'But I'm a Cheerleader'
I remember the night in 1970 when the crash happened. I was watching the Tonight Show and a news flash came on. Living in a small Friday night lights town everyone was devistated. And we cheered when they won the championship.
The big fella, Louie Lastik. Went to off to college and lived and died here in my hometown. Clarksville m, Tennessee. Not a super notable comment to the film but it's great that he graduated and made himself a good life here.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE😍😍 I literally gasped out loud when I saw you guys posted this
Sunshine is absolutely not who you thought he was 😂😂
The fucked up thing ab the real Garry is he was paralyzed from an accident with a drunk driver then later killed in an accident with a drunk driver. U can look the story up too it’s crazy
48:07 "Rock guitar?!!"
They have literally been playing rock music all throughout this movie.
And that is Hayden P. Her first movie when she started acting if I ain't mistaken.
Love a good sports movie this is definitely at the top of the list the story was very touching, and with the time period you get to watch both sides start to understand and respect each other them having to touch that field together and trust each other is what makes the movie so good because like it or not your team is your family 👏🏾
This movie is my favorite sports movie ever. Have watched it dozens of times especially when I was younger. It remains one of my favorite Denzel movies, and he is in so many freaking movies.
The reason Sunshine kissed him is bc Bertier called a him fruitcake (making a homophobic comment), so he was kinda of making a statement
Genuinely one of my favorite movies!! I’m so happy I found this channel and I’m excited to see your reactions to this one!!
Glad to see the way you all got into this movie, great reaction video.
Many people don t realize Louie just moved from Bayonne, NJ.
New Jersey had been desegregated since the late 40s. He probably had black classmates and friends back in Bayonne. That's why, much like Sunshine, he's oblivious to the racial tensions that are going on in Virginia.
In real life Gerry had his accident sometime after the Championship game. Not that night, but he did play the entire season.
It was 100% the frosted flakes theme song for a while
“Ryan Gosling looks like he’s 16”
Wait till they find out it’s a high school football team 😂
It’s crazy that it was your first time watching it especially cause they love playing this movie in schools ! Especially the coaches classes.
Inspirational sports movies are my guilt free pleasure. Rudy, remember the titans, invincible, a league of their own, greatest game ever played, the rookie, the sandlot, 42. Like the best movie genre hands down
It kills me how Zuff is just laughing in the thumbnail! You guys make me laugh so much it’s insane.
my boy on the rights comments are a breath of fresh air, i can tell it rubbed him the wrong way in a good way, doesnt like any of the nonsense, i appreciate all of yall tho, my type of people. glad yall enjoyed this. look forward to checking out more of yalls content
One of my favorite movies. Especially since my parents grew up in Alexandria and went to TC Williams. Funny story, when the movie came out, Coach Boon stopped by my hair salon and was asking people if he knew who he was and was giving his autograph.
I remember always watching this movie at school when it would get towards the end of the school year and we had nothing else to do. Love it!
Hard to believe y’all haven’t seen it. I’m honored to get to watch along with you guys!! You’ll love it. And never forget it. 😊
It's so weird seeing Ryan Hurst play this part as Gerry Bertier. I can't look at him without seeing Beta from ''The Walking Dead'' or Opie from ''Sons of Anarchy". His character in "Lonestar State of Mind" though has to be my favorite!
Great reaction. I loved, too, the changes in the players, the adults... how they realized they were all people, they could all work, play, be together. One of my favorite movies for many reasons (and I'm no football fan!).
Bryce being a Steelers fan makes so much sense since hes always been my favorite
You guys were real genuine. I'm a new fan. keep doing your thing!
