  Brian's Song (2001) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The title of the movie is "Brian's Song" so I thought it was great to show this aspect of his life.
It doesn't matter that the Michel Legrand theme song isn't featured as much in the remake; this is the story of a man's life, not a song.
Like I said up front, 1971's "Brian's Song" is my all time favorite movie but on a scale of 1-10, I have to give this remake a 10.

Brian's Song is one of the saddest movies ever made, based on the too-true story of the fl/white friendship between Gale Sayer and Brian Piccolo.
