Always Remember I Love You (1990)

Thanks for the memories!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This movie is absolutely fabulous!!! I liked it because it was not very predictable. You think you know what is going to happen, but then it doesn't. Dramas are not my favorite type of movies but this was great! It made me cry like a baby!!!! This movie is usually on Lifetime around Christmas time. Joan Van Ark and Patty Duke both did an excellent job of portraying the different mother points of view. Another tear-jerker that I would recommend is a 1980's film called, Without a Trace. If you can watch either on of these movies without crying, you must be made of stone. These two movies are my favorite and what I consider the best tear-jerking movies I have ever seen. Without a Trace ranks #1 in my book and this movie ranks #2.

Robert is a young boy, who after turning sixteen finds out that he's adopted. When Robert was a young boy he was kidnapped from his real-parents and his adopted parents got him from person who stole him. Robert then decides to go in search of his real-family. He finds them, his mother, father, brother and sister. His real parents, brother and sister don't realise that this is there son and brother, but take him into there home after thinking that's he a runaway. This leaves Robert having to decide where he really belongs.Always Remember I Love You is a really good TV movie with a strange, but good story to it and mostly good performances from everyone, especially Patty Duke and Stephen Dorff who both play the lead roles here and are great.

Intriguing premise should have been a 20 minute short. That's how long it would take his biological parents to think, "Hmm, we lost one son (and never found him) who is about his age, and he looks like our remaining son. Oh, yes, and he's a runaway. Hmm." But no, this is the most clueless family in history. And the conclusion, while trying to jerk tears, manages only to induce more groans of disbelief.

I loved this movie so much when I first watched it and was elated when Lifetime picked it up and started showing it. Patty Duke is an amazing actress and makes you believe in her character so much that when she cries you cry. It is a touching movie that everyone should see. Check Lifetime around the holidays and it is sure to show up. Don't miss it!
