This movie is the story of a young man and his search for his real family. When his adopted parents are horrified to discover that Robert was stolen from his birth parents, they feel it is their obligation to tell him what they have found out. Hurt and confused he leaves home in search for his biological parents. What he finds is a family that is still hurting over the loss of their son many years after the fact. Trying to get close to his newly found family without telling them exactly who he is, Robert finds that the line between family isn't as clear cut as he previously thought.

This was originally a made-for-television movie, broadcast shortly before Christmas in 1990. That said, this movie has as much heart as any family film you could find in theatres. Star Stephen Dorff shows a real range for (17 years old at the time) such a young actor. And tv/movie legend Patty Duke pulls out all stops in portraying an emotionally scarred mother who tries to pull her family together dispite the empty spot still left behind by her missing son. Though it can definately be classified as a "Lifetime Movie", I can't express enough how wonderful this movie is. It shows so many facets of family life and how one can find a niche in their own if they only look to try.

This is the best movie! It is a family tradition at Christmas time. I bawl every time I watch this movie. This needs to come out on DVD!

This is a "FABULOUS" movie. It's so full of emotion and love. Anna (Patty) Duke does a perfect job in this film. So many people are waiting for this film to come out on DVD, I don't understand why it's not available. Frank jerseycityfrank2004@yahoo.com Can someone email me if they know where to find it on dvd? Thank you !!!

Whenever I'd come across "Always Remember I Love You" being shown on tv, I'd watch it, it's that good a film. It's sadly been many years since I last watched it and I still miss it and look for it. It's a wonderful, heartwarming film with a terrific cast and a great ending. So many other Lifetime holiday movies are available on DVD, I wish this one was too, I'd buy it.

I remember this wonderful movie dating to 1990. I've tried to find it on DVD or VHS with no success. It brought tears of happiness back in 1990 when it was shown on television. I would love to have the DVD version for my library.

Patty Duke has done many high quality works, but none is better than her performance in "Always Remember I Love You." Of course, the acting by the other actors -- especially Stephen Dorff -- is exceptional as well, and the story itself is really great.

When is this movie going to be put on DVD?

It is interesting to note and read the five glowing reviews. I agree with them regarding the quality of the movie. There is conflict, resolution and reconciliation. The effect on families I know who have seen this movie is very positive.

Why is it not available on DVD? It should be. It sounds as if each reviewer would recommend and buy at least one copy and most probably more for gifts. I would and I think it would be a successful DVD. Whoever owns the rights to the movie should be aware of this.

I want this movie so bad - i taped it years ago and it is getting old.

Please can someone tell me when it will come to DVD?

I feel fortunate that I videotaped this movie back when Lifetime aired it 20 years ago. I watch it every year at Christmastime and yes, I cry too. Patty Duke and Stephen Dorff are outstanding - in fact the entire cast turns out stunning emotional performances. Jarred Blancard as Greg's brother John is exceptionally believable in this role, and Richard Masur as Greg's father also inspires the viewers' empathy. I've often wondered what this film would be like if it ended differently, if Greg revealed himself personally to his birth parents, and I think this is one of the things that keeps me coming back to this film, it could end in any number of ways. In fact the ending is a kind of beginning for both families. It would be wonderful for this film to come out on DVD. I could even see room for production of a sequel.

This was one of my husbands favorite Christmas movies! We had is on tape but lost is during a move. We looked for it everywhere last year because my husband was ill. He died recently and never got to see it again. I would love to be able to watch it in his memory. I really hope they will release is on DVD very soon!
