Watch Jeremy For Free

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This little gem is one of the rare movies that one sees at a young age and it remains with you (at least if you are a prepubescent girl). This was released in 1973, when I was 12 years old, and I saw it at a drive-in (believe it or not) and I still remember thinking how awesome (yet sad it was) and how I hoped upon hope that my first love would be a boy like Jeremy (wonderfully and sensitively played by Robbie Benson).The love story is sweet and realistic, Glynis O'Connor plays the female love interest of Jeremy and seems to me she and Robbie Benson were involved romantically in real life during the time the movie made, if so the affection and love they displayed on the screen seemed very real.I remember too that there was a brief nude scene, not graphic, but beautifully displayed, and all of this overwhelmed me at the age I was. I went on to read the book and it was excellent as well. I would love to see this movie released on DVD.Why don't we see more of Robbie Benson? He was a great young actor in the 70's.

After seeing this movie 30 years ago, and considering that it was no acclaimed, it was most likely a low budget movie with fairly unknown actors, that have not been in the limelight much since, it is always on my mind. Combined with the story line, the vulnerability of the characters and the music, it has become a part of me. The only other movie that has had this affect on me is a scene from Carrie, the prom scene when Carrie and her date are dancing, but more than that, their souls are connecting and is as if they are the only 2 people in the world, almost a spiritual experience.. Those 2 times, I haven't seen it since.

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...

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