My rating is generous and subjective. I can't really argue that this is a "good" movie. A lot of it feels awkward and even amateurish. --mild spoilers ahead--But this look at teen-age first love speaks to me very personally (shy west side NYC kid falls for beautiful, popular girl only to lose her to outside forces). This was both my teen-age fantasy of what first romance and sex should be, and a reflection of much of my own real life experience. So even such cringe worthy elements as Robby Benson and Glynnis O"Connor singing not-very-good pop odes to love on the soundtrack can't keep this from making me remember and cry.Interestingly, though, talking to others of my generation (I'm 50) I was fascinated to find I was far from alone in having this heart/head split in reaction to the film. So obviously there's something in there real and true enough in it that it overcomes the undeniably mawkish elements. But for a really great look at teen first love, I recommend Roy Andersson's wonderful "A Swedish Love Story" - hard to find, but worth it.

Hi On Ebay i saw the rare (never released) promo of the single Blue Balloon (The hourglass song) and on side B: Jeremy sung by Glyniss O'Connor. Ebaynumber 300604516334 Or just search for Jeremy Robby Benson. This son was only a demonstration record and i don't know why it is never released. Both songs are beautiful and i think that because of the movie, it would be a huge hit. Never expected to see one for sale, but here it is! Good luck for all your Jeremy fans and keep enjoying the song and movie. If somebody knows why it was never released, please let me know because i am very interested to know! The movie i saw when i was 12 and i was very toughed by it, also strange that this movie was never released on DVD. But maybe in the future it will.

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 love this movie. It's just a beautiful love story. Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor are just great together. I would definently recommend this movie to anyone. If you like Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor together check them out in Ode To Billy Joe.
