Jeremy

I was a 12 years old when I saw "Jeremy" - here in Brazil, the title was "Susan and Jeremy - the first love". I remember I loved the movie, I cried a lot. Unforgettable is the soundtrack. After that age (today I'm 37), I've never seen this movie again, but - sometimes - I catch myself singing its song ('The hourglass song', I suppose). I'd like to see it again.

I saw this film after reading the book and loved it just as much. There are many things I enjoyed about the story/film such as the music, love and the cross town New York bus rides on a Saturday morning. Bus it was the way Jeremy raced other people in the street as if he was in his own horse race-this may sound silly but worked really well and Robby Benson pulls it off in a brilliant touching way. It shows a boy/young man in his own world finding someone who loved him for what he is. The wonderful cello music holds the story together and is not heavy-handed which it could easily have been with a lesser cast and director.

I would love to have the DVD and hope when it comes out there are plenty of extras such as location info and (lots)interviews.

9.5 out of 10

If you like love story, watch this movie. The simplicity of this film is beautiful. The song "Jeremy" is great.

This is a movie we had to see with our class. Most of the times these movies were dull and boring, but then... they send us to "Jeremy". And I still am looking for a chance to see the movie again. I remember that they showed it on television in the mid 70's, before the VHS era. I recorded the soundtrack on compact cassette (inferiour quality, the recording was lost). I still remember however how the movie touched me, and I still can do the "horse-sound" by clicking with my fingers as Jeremy did. Does anybody know if this movie can be bought on DVD? I am looking for a copy since many years, but cannot find it in Europe anywhere.

I was 16 when I saw this movie. Not sure how to put into words the feelings I got as I sat there. I'm 46 now and I still think about the feelings I had that day in the theater. We've all experienced those feelings in real life and I'd love to go through it all again. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and get a copy somewhere. Love coming of age...Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor were perfect in this movie. I'm a middle-aged man now who feasts on horror and action movies, all I can take. If I had the chance to see it again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Guys, watch it in private if you must and save your precious ego. You'll like the movie, I promise...
