Coach Carter (trailer, IMDB). Samuel L. Motherfuckin' Jackson plays a former basketball player who comes to the school he graduated from to coach its basketball team, all the while trying to give the young men a chance of reaching college where they barely have any - against the heavy opposition of the school board and parents. It's a touching story about love (many types of it), respect, sacrifice and hard work. Yesterday was the third time I rewatched it; no doubt, I will again later in a few months or years. It has some of the most proper moral lessons included and never reaches where it can't handle. Given that the movie is based on the true story of Ken Carter (and Sam Jackson even looks like the guy), it becomes even more inspirational because of how it ends - not in fairy tale fashion, which is a rare thing to see.
That's awesome. Never heard of it but it is on the list now. Thanks.
