Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Brilliant and touching

As Good As It Gets

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Bored with the types of movies that are shown on any cable television in any country across the globe (even with 200 channels) – I always find it hard to make a decision on what to watch. This movie was shown on UPC Dutch TV, and reading somewhat good reviews on IMDb, I decided to watch it.At first sight, Jeremy Jones (Robby Benson) a young boy falls in love with a newcomer girl Susan Rollins (Glynnis O-Connors) at school. After a few awkward meetings, they start liking each other, go together, and its special confused adolescent moments – make love, discuss life, know each other, enjoy each other's company – before the inevitable strikes. Susan's father (Ned Wilson) gets his transfer back and has to leave the city. With so much sadness both this young souls depart.This is a beautiful simple FIRST LOVE story of any young souls. The moments, the stalking, the emotions, the happiness – everything is depicted in its simplest and truest form. There is not much coming in the way of their love – which is a relieving part of the story. It is straight forward. The supporting cast – especially Jeremy friend, his musical teacher and Susan father – give a very understated but human character. Their responses to this teenage love stays with you in formulating your own responses in life.Both Robby Benson and Glynnis O-Connors give the best performances of their career that spans (for both of them) to nearly more than 55 acting projects in last 35 years. But this role will remain their most loved and well remembered. Both are so comfortable with each other – especially in those delicately filmed love making scenes – that it surely must be hard for the director and acting to film that successfully.The Director Arthur Barron has done a very decent job in taking out performances from these young stars – who look so natural and full of honest love. He makes this movie still watchable and relevant, even after 35 years. It is fresh as a morning dew drop – and I think will remain so. This Director made only two feature films in his career, and mainly devoted his time for television.A special mention of the theme song of this movie – Hour Glass – which is still hummable and pleasing to hear even today. It is a classic.I would strongly recommend the movie to each and every adolescent to see and make it a part of their growing up years.(Stars 7 out of 10)

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.

JEREMY is the most realistic and touching film of it's kind, that I had the pleasure of seeing when I was 19. I understand that it was filmed in 16mm and blown up to 35mm for theatre presentation, which gives the movie an almost documentary - type look and feel. Combined with understated performances by all involved, and an excellent "real-feeling" script, JEREMY avoids all the schmaltz and hyper-melodramatics usually associated with stories of this type. I hate to use the phrase "little film", but it does have the charm of a smaller, independently - produced movie. Before there was "FAME", this film about two students from the New York High School For The Performing Arts, who spend some time together and fall in love, only to be cruelly seperated in the end by unforseen circumstances, has remained a favorite of mine to this day. I have a cherished copy on VHS - I just hope a copy on DVD is forthcoming.

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