Movie 1: Coach Carter (2005)

Coach Carter is an inspiring sports drama based on the true story of Ken Carter, a high school basketball coach who made national headlines for benching
his undefeated team due to poor academic performance. Samuel L. Jackson delivers a commanding performance as Carter, whose tough love approach challenges
his players to strive for success both on and off the court.
Directed by Thomas Carter, the film combines thrilling basketball action with a powerful message about discipline, respect, and the importance of education.
Coach Carter is more than just a sports story—it’s a heartfelt reminder that the greatest victories often happen far from the scoreboard.

Featuring standout performances from Heath Ledger, Emile Hirsch, and Victor Rasuk, and directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the film captures the raw energy
