That's 40 minutes of me just reading out movies.

Yeah, we're going to have to definitely tighten that.

We have to move on.

We haven't even got to our list.

We've played a clip yet.

Okay, let's get to our list.

William, we will start with you.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

So it's 1971 in Alexandria, Virginia, and there is a forced integration of the formerly all-white T.C.

Williams High School and its football team.

And Denzel Washington, Herman Boone, is an African-American coach appointed as head coach of the football team, replacing the white coach Bill Yost, Will Patton.

He's demoted and they have to come together on a training trip to Gettysburg where he takes them and makes a speech.

And then they come together as a team and then they go back out and have to deal with the realities of racist referees and a town not ready for the integration.

And here's just the end, which is not a place to start, I know.

But the captain, Gary...

Gary Berthier he knows the names he's the white captain who leads the team coming together with Julius who's the leader of the black players and so you know tragically midway through he's paralysed from the waist down the film culminates like 15 years 10 years after the high school team win the state championship and Gary has died after winning a Paralympic medal true story and so this is the narrator daughter of the white coach summing up I guess the movie and the message

They're singing Graveside here.

Hey, goodbye.

All right, Will.
