Men of Honor
(2000)
Synopsis
Carl Brashear lets nothing stand in the way of his dreams. The son of a Kentucky sharecropper, Carl leaves home for what he expects would be a better life. "Never quit ... be the best," his father had told him, and Carl takes those words to heart.
After he joins the newly-integrated Navy, Carl spends two years writing a hundred letters before the service accepts his application for its Dive School program. Carl's training officer, Billy Sunday, wants no part of Carl or his ambitions. Sunday, a celebrated Master Chief Navy Diver whose exploits as a troublemaker are as legendary as his accomplishments as a diver, relentlessly taunts and challenges Carl, expecting him to falter and quit. But Carl has other ideas. His goal is clear, his determination fixed. Nothing will stand in the way of his dream of becoming a Navy Diver. Not even Billy Sunday.
Years later, after Carl suffers a crippling injury, he and Sunday unexpectedly join forces. Never one to turn down an opportunity to flout the system, the rebellious senior officer helps Carl buck Navy bureaucracy, overcome the loss of a leg, and go on to make military history. By the time he retires, Carl earns the esteemed titles of Master Diver and Master Chief, the Navy's highest rank for an enlisted man.

Chill Factor
Ordinary working stiffs Skeet Ulrich and Cuba Gooding Jr. see their lives turned upside down when a deadly chemical get dropped into their laps -- literally. And it's not just an ordinary deadly chemical: If it rises above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, it explodes like a nuclear device. With the desert the only way to safety, cooler heads had better prevail!

Remember the Titans
It looks like fourth down and long yardage when Denzel Washington replaces a well-respected -- and white -- football coach (Will Patton) in a Virginia high school rampant with prejudice, circa 1970. Not to be discouraged, Washington welds the young players, the Titans, into a force to be reckoned with on the gridiron and off. Based on real-life events.

Cuba Gooding is great and DeNiro is his always talented self in a story of true courage, anyone can relate to. The true story speaks at the heart of racism in America, and the triumph over it, of the human spirit. The cast, prodution and directing are A1!!!!!!!!!

I served in the USN as one the few female jet engine mechanics. I give my salute to Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert DeNiro. If you want to see what the Navy is really about, watch this movie.

Gooding and DeNiro are good, as one would expect, but the movie is simply boring--it plays like a stock hollywood formula film even though it is based on a compelling true story.

Another opportunity to see why Robert De Niro is one of, if not THE, best actor of our time. Keen insight into his character, coupled with integrity of character portrayal that is rare to less "natural" actors is again highlited in this film. Cuba Gooding jr. is superb...
