A League of Their Own is a film directed by Penny Marshall which starts out in 1988 with a reunion of the All American Girls Professional Baseball (AAGPB) Where Dotti Hinson goes to see her old friends from the league. There we turn back in history with the war going own and starting of a professional girls' baseball league. While playing in a softball game a scout, Jon Lovitz, scouts out Dotti Hinson (Geena Davis) and asks her to play in the league, however, he didn't want her

Remember the Titans gives us a look of racial differences that were happening in 1971. Coach Yoast loses his job because of the Federal order of desegregation in schools and to affirm this action, he is replaced by Coach Boone. Coach Boone is hesistant about taking this job, but for reasons such as family and a need of an income, he accepts. Coach Yoast is obviously upset, but is offered an assistant job by Boone, to avoid bad mixture between both races. Several times during the movie players, including the team captain are forced to accept the new formation of coaches. Gary Butier,(team captain) comes to Coach Boone with the formula of half of "your people" can play. However, during the football camp they are forced to deal with the different racial teaching that they have been taught, but become a team. However, when the team returns to school, they become separated again because of the sheltered environment that they had at camp they hadn't resolved completely the differences.

Hoosiers also is a very emotional film, this is due to the musical score edited into the film. Maurice Raft in his book All About the Movies says, "A musical score can influence the audience, even more than the acting." However, one critic James Southall of the "That's Entertainment Records" comments on the soundtrack "For the most part, we are in vile, keyboard and drum machine territory. The main theme, a kind of rah-rah sports anthem, would probably sound absolutely terrific if arranged for a full orchestra - but performed as it is on keyboards, its only endearing quality is its enthusiasm, which dents even my hard exterior at times." The film Hoosiers focuses on this small urban life. Roger Ebert also knows about small town sports as he stated in his review about Hoosiers, " I was a sportswriter once for a couple of years in Downstate Illinois. I covered mostly high school sports, and if I were a sportswriter again, I'd want to cover them again. There is a passion to high school sports that transcends anything that comes afterward; nothing in pro sports equals the intensity of a really important high school basketball game. "Hoosiers" knows that. This is a movie about a tiny Indiana high school that sends a team all the way to the state basketball finals in the days when schools of all sizes played in the same tournaments and a David could slay a Goliath."

However, Boone is still determined to make the best of this worsening situation. First, he asks Yoast to stay on and serve as his defensive coordinator. Then, he tries to bring together his contentious, racially divided players with a training camp.

To nearly everyone's surprise, the team returns to town as a team. But Boone still faces some lingering resentment from Yoast, who seems ready to pounce at the first mistake he makes. If that isn't bad enough, there are those in the community determined to make his coaching career a short one, including school board members who have all but said that Boone will be out if he loses. In the end, the T.C. Titans win the state championship and Boone is congratulated by both ethnic races.

The film industry influences us continually through sports films by showing different aspects of life. This is shown through these movies: A League of Their Own with women's rights, Remember the Titans with racism in the early 1970's, and Hoosiers of high school sports in small towns. The way we feel about movies makes us feel influences us in our feelings toward real life situations and can even help us understand the way of life. This gives us a gentle way of facing our social problems but yet lets us know of their existence and makes us do something to resolve these problems. I love the movies and the way films can help me understand the history of our nation.
