    Excellent!

    I've seen the movie for the first time in December of 1990. I liked the movie so much I've tried to buy a copy, but no luck. I like to know if this movie will be coming back on TV for this coming Christmas. In one word Excellent!

    A Good TV Movie!

    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.

    Tear Jerker that warms your heart

    I love this movie because it is such a wonderful family story. I taped it a long time ago, but the tape is old and now it skips. I am looking to purchase it, and highly recommend it to anyone who has not seen it. This movie makes me cry each time and it really makes you feel good afterwards. Excellent acting as well (Patty Duke is terrific!). Watch this movie with family or even by yourself...Its an A+++ movie!

    A movie that tugs at your heart strings

    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!

    good actors in it

    I cried for all the lead characters as how they portray the roles...

    the father who cried after hearing his adopted son's phone call and he click repeatedly to hear his voice over and over again ...

    the mother who cried and was overwhelmed with emotions after she found the real mother who gave shelter to her adopted son...

    the real mother who's son was stolen from her who read the surprising letter from a stranger she thought otherwise...was really her son.

    Tons of tissues will have to be handy while watching this film..

    the lead actor ( the son) is excellent in his portrayal of a child who is truly confused and torn emotionally apart by circumstances beyond his control( i always wondered how it felt to be adopted??)...also meeting the real brother is an interesting part of the movie how they

    differ in characters.. specially when the sibling had differences ...without knowing they are related to each others..

    Every minute of the movie keeps you glued on the screen on what will ever happens next..

    Eventually, the answer to the questions about adopted children pops up..." where do they belong??? to the real parents or the adoptive parents???? who will he choose?

    i know i got my answer and i agreed to it... its like i'm at peace with myself( i have an adopted son) ... at last.. one movie that justifies this kinda situation... thanks so much...
