Bear Bryant documentary 1991 - The Legacy Lives (VHS)
Produced eight years after Paul "Bear" Bryant's death, this 1991 documentary is one of effusive story telling by many who were close to him in his personal life and football coaching career. The music, narration, and stories are heartfelt, bordering on worshipful. It's a video that will ring true for older viewers alive when Bryant was coaching, but may feel outright corny for younger fans of Alabama, or college football in general. It is, however, indicative of the love so many Alabama fans and residents had for the man.
Appearances include subsequent coaches like Gene Stallings and Ray Perkins, as well as former player and present day restaurateur Bob Baumhower. Kenny Stabler, Jerry Duncan, Jim Goostree, Billy Varner, Lee Roy Jordan, and others also appear. Bryant's wife Mary Harmo...

The bear 1984 Gary Busey (American Football life story)
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!

Bryant Hall, Paul W. Bryant Drive, and Bryant–Denny Stadium are all named in his honor. He was also known for his trademark black and white "houndstooth" hat, deep voice, casually leaning up against the goal post during pre-game warmups, and frequently holding his rolled-up game plan while on the sidelines smoking a cigarette. Before arriving at Alabama, Bryant was head football coach at the University of Maryland, the University of Kentucky, and Texas A&M University.
