Coach Carter
The B-ball version of a timeless Hollywood favorite formula: "Tough Teacher Takes On Tough School" (based, as as ever, on "Actual Events"). Samuel L. Jackson is pitch-perfect as a coach returning to his inner city alma mater, where he still holds on-court records, and demands that his players work as hard in the classroom and in life as on the court.
Where most entries in this genre end with redeemed kids winning the big game, Coach Carter seperates from the pack by allowing the players to lose a few of their battles, both with life and on the court, before the movie delivers its more subdued but still happy ending.
