- A gem of a find, the story of Paul Bryant(The Bear), a record breaking Alabama college American Football coach. I am a avid movie fan and I have looked for movies for many years, but this is the first time I had ever heard of, or seen this film. In fairly good quality, it also has another favourite of mine Harry Dean Stanton, but he and Jon Eric Hexum are not in it very long, at almost 2 hours, its not a short film and I am no American Football fan as such, but I enjoyed it and watched it till the end. It does take about 20 seconds to start, so dont panic about the blank screen at the beginning. This film is not available anywhere, so I thought I owed it to all the Gary Busey and football fans alike to share this rare film, so its not forgotten!

Thank you so much for posting this. I never got to see this when it first came out when I was young and I haven't been able to find it anywhere over the years. There are a couple of inaccuracies but overall it was very enjoyable and I was glad to finally get to see it.
God bless Coach Bryant and Pat Trammel RIP
I wanted to see this movie as a kid when it came out but never got to. I read the book in HS my senior year. Now 49 I finally got to see the movie. I was in the second grade when Bear passed away. I remember crying because I was supposed to play for him when I was older. My granddad took me to my first Bama game a year or two after his passing at Birmingham’s Legion Field, 8 saw Walter Lewis, Joey Jones and Ricky Moore play in a tornado vs LSU. Sadly Bama lost that game. Many more I’ve seen since then. While recruited as a DT I never went to college due to bad grades and being 19 as a senior. But I’ve been with Bama through the good and the bad. I saw Bear win 2 National Championship’s in the 70’s, and then Stallings who was there when I graduated HS. Saban just kept the winning tradition going in Tuscaloosa. If I never witness another one, I’ve been blessed to be a Bama fan and witness 3 great coaches in my life time. RollTide!!!
Thanks this movie used to be impossible to find..I remember it only stayed in the theaters for a couple of weeks,bu for some reason i could never find it at the rental store or on cable.
Your welcome, Its the best quality version of it I could find, some say they are HD, but are a lower definition than this, I made this from some DVD files I found, I was just lucky I knew what they were in their RAW state.
Yeah, I actually saw it in 1985 when it came out the first week. Bear's family had it pulled.
Thank you for posting this. Roll tide!
This and the Junction Boys is the best movies about Paul Bear Bryant! Excellent post!
Thanks, I was unaware of Paul Bryant before this movie, as I live in the UK, but its the best quality version I could find anywhere. I was lucky to pick up a DVD from a friend, glad you like it, I am a big Gary Busey fan, he reminds me a bit of Nick Nolte in his approach and style, I like them both, but they do have a limited range.I was not sure how popular this post would be, but The Bear seems to be respected by most Americans I know for what he did for college football. I am a massive TV and movie nut, perhaps it karma, but I found a old BBC childrens TV show I have been after for many years, immediately after I posted this, " break point". Not the best TV show ever, but it has always annoyed me, that I did not see the last one till now, its never been released on DVD or VHS, so I had almost given up on ever seeing the last episode, youtube is a wonderful way of sharing what you have with like minded people.
This movie looked good for todays times
Thank you
MAMA CALLED
I love the Alabama country song “I’ll Be Home Again” during the credits. This is the only place I’ve ever heard that song and it is fantastic. That along with the real pictures is sadly the only thing worth watching in this movie.
They would have had Ben Johnson it would have been a better cast and he had such great credibility being in a lot of John Wayne movies
UA-cam need more free 70s and 80s movies
This was lost media for a while wasn't it?
When Bear Bryant was the coach at Alabama, I remember hearing many people say that he and John Wayne looked alike. And this is ironic, because there was a quote in one of Mr. Wayne's greatest movies, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence". The quote is, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Or, in this case, portray the legend. I saw this movie when it first came out, but after watching it again, I noticed that there were a few minor things that were not exactly accurate. But who cares? This is a very entertaining movie, and Gary Busey was brilliant. Also, I remember, when it was released, the Alabama 'good old boy' network didn't like the movie, thinking it made the coach look bad, and had it banned. I don't see this. I remember Bear Bryant very well. If the facts had been portrayed instead of the legend, the Alabama faithful really wouldn't have liked it. But I do think this is a good movie.
Ben Johnson would have been perfect. He had a great credibility and won an Oscar for the last picture show and did so many John Wayne movies movies he just had something about him that you had to like about him.
Not a sportsball fan at-all, but,... I support Your channel. Leaving a thumbs up and a comment for the algorithms 😸
Hi HD cat, anything with Gary Busey in it is worth a watch in my opinion, but I understand, I am no American Football fan myself, this film just isnt available, so I am sure plenty of folk will enjoy it, thanks for stopping by.

@@2ahdcat I cant wait for the nest season of Roadworthy Rescues, have you seen it with Derek from Vice Grip Garage, right here on youtube, its a great channel. I can also recommend "No nonsense know how" Chris knows all there is to know about engines and shows what he does clearly, so anyone can understand, plus his drone footage, dog and girlfriend are also worth a look.
@@2ahdcat I do post static pictures on Instagram still, if you search "colinsdiecast", my channel has the same pic as here, the convention GMC Motorhomes that I just got as a gift are pictured there.
@@colinsdiecast164customs No, but I do watch Derek and Puddin', and others
just not a good movie... the acting was awful.
Mrs Bryant hated this movie... thought Buddy was too ugly to play her husband
