5/06: James Caan and Billy Dee Williams.

They're absolutely unforgettable in Brian's Song which is among the greatest, most powerful movies ever made. It's also one of the saddest. The running scene with them alongside each other while they gasp for air is the most defining scene.

All in all, Brian's Song is not just a football film; it's a story of two human beings.

4/12: Brian's Song is a timeless classic.

James Caan and Billy Dee Williams will always be remembered as Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers, respectively.

All in all, Brian's Song proves that a made-for-TV picture with a simple moving story is infinitely better than a pointless violent film with an overblown budget.
