Fun Flick Friday #2

 My dearest Friday, I would normally say that it is so nice to see you...but I have to take an exam today. So therefore, I'm not quite as excited to see you. Please don't take this offensively. I will be thrilled to see you next week because that means I will be DONE with exams, papers, work, and SCHOOL in general.

Hollaaaa.

But, I still hope that you lovelies are having a beyond wonderful start to the weekend!! :D


Before I get on with today's post, I just want to tell y'all about a fabulous giveaway being hosted by Shanna over at Because Shanna Said So!

Now for today's post...

I'm back for round two of Fun Flick Friday! Check here for round one.

Up this week: Remember the Titans (2000)

 I don't have to tell you that I think this is a wonderful movie for two reasons..

1. I'm talking about it so obviously it's great.

2. I'm hoping that you've all seen this classic and therefore already know how great it is.

Anyways, as with She's the Man , I've seen this movie countless times (with Jordan, of course..we really are best friends, y'all)...and it really does get better every. single. time. Eeek gives me goosies, too. I love me some Denzel. 

ok, so not the most attractive picture of him..but it's from the movie so, deal.

Oh, and let's not forget the very young Ryan Gosling..

he didn't have the biggest part, but it was def. necessary. such a cutie pie.

 This movie is the very true, very inspirational story of the 1971 Titans football team at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, VA and their struggles as a newly-integrated team with a new African-American coach (Denzel Washington). Read the full synopsis here.

Here's a list of the main characters:

Denzel Washington - Coach Herman Boone

Will Patton - Coach Bill Yoast

Wood Harris - Julius Campbell

Ryan Hurst - Gerry Bertier

Donald Faison - Petey Jones

Craig Kirkwood - Jerry 'Rev' Harris

Kip Pardue - Ronnie "Sunshine" Bass

Ethan Suplee - Louie Lastik 

Hayden Panettiere - Sheryl Yoast

Ryan Gosling - Alan Bosley

Remember the Titans is a great mix of the seriousness needed to portray real events, while also being a bit comical. 

Here's one of absolute favorite parts...

 It really shows the boys begin to connect with each other despite the ongoing stress of integration.

Not to mention, this is one of mine and my mom's all-time favorite songs! 

'Cause baby there ain't no mountain hiiiiigh enough ;)

Oh, and this scene..short, sweet, and HILARIOUS.

Love that little cheesy, cutie pie. Ha! 

My favorite quote...the last line of the movie.

"People say that it can't work, black and white. Here, we make it work every day. We still have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Titans."- Older Sheryl Yoast

And I can't forget the other favorite song of mine on the soundtrack..

A classic, always. Loving James Taylor.

 Lastly, I'll leave you with the trailer just in case you've never had the privilege of watching this great movie. I demand that you see it this weekend. Demand. 

 Hope you all have an extra fabulous weekend! And your prayers for me and all other students during exam week would be appreciated..thank you!! xo
