Brian's Song

Gale Sayers joins the Chicago Bears and is befriended by Brian Piccolo, an over-achieving running back. Although they compete for the same spot on the team, and despite the fact that Sayers is black and Piccolo white, they become roommates on the road and very close friends, especially when Sayers is injured and Piccolo helps his recovery. Later, they and their wives must both deal with the harsh reality of Piccolo's cancer.  more

Best Made for TV movie ever.

I ordered the video late on a Saturday night and it was here Monday by 3:00pm. I wasn't expecting it that fast. I had bought the newer version of Brian's song but it just didn't have the same feel that the James Caan, Billy Dee Williams version does. When I watch this one, I feel like I really...

Thank You For Being A Friend

I recently screened the original BRIAN'S SONG for a film series on "Friendship In Film." It's not easy to find American films that explore that theme on a deeper level than the typical buddy-buddy flick. There are any number of films out there about deep and lasting friendships between women,...

It let's you see what you're made of

I remember it was shortly after my divorce and I was laying on the sofa fliping through the channels and happened on Brian's Song. I'm 61 years old and to this day I have never been so moved by any film. I remember many films over the years where I teared up and had trouble talking but I've never...

Classic movie to make you cry your eyes out

My dad told me about this movie a year or so ago and mentioned that he hadn't seen it in a long while. I looked in a few stores and couldn't find it anywhere but here. This movie is so touching, I could see tears welling in my father's eyes from the beginning and he is now the sensitive type of...

THE REAL MEANING OF THE WORD FRIENDSHIP

It is a TV movie from the 70's. The time TV used to produce marvelous films without "state of the art" computerized effects. It tells the simple and marvelous story of a real friendship between two American football players. One helps each other on the most difficult times of their lives. Even if...

Favorite Movie

This is the most heart warming movie I've ever watched. I have watched this movie numerous times and still get very emotional with the end of movie. James Caan and Billie Dee Williams both do fantastic jobs in portraying these two caracters.

Older one is best

Have seen the newer version of Brian's song, and the original with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams is soooo much better. Who can argue with Sonny Corleone and Lando Calrissian?

Wonderful,great but very sad

Sports fan or not-this is a great movie. I love the original. The friendship between Gale and Brian reminds me of the friendship between Jackie Robinson and Pee-Wee Reese. I can't wait to buy this movie. I highly recommend this movie to share with your family.

My God is first, my friends are second and I am third

This was the title of the marvelous book that Gayle Sawyers wrote. It is the inspiration for Brian's Song. I promise you that when Gayle Sayers(Billie Dee Williams) says, "I love Brian Piccollo, and I want you all to love him too", you too will cry. The tears are hitting me now just thinking...

Brian's Song

This product was in perfect shape. I loved this movie when I was a teenager (several years ago) it has a good message of courage and friendship and I wanted to pass this on to my teenage son--I am very glad that you had this available.
