Description
Benny & Joon is a 1993 American romantic comedy–drama film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayerabout how two eccentric individuals, Sam (Johnny Depp) and Juniper “Joon” (Mary Stuart Masterson), find each other and fall in love. Aidan Quinn also stars, and it was directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik.
Scotland’s Proclaimers got a belated number three hit with their four-year-old “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” when it was taken up as the theme song of this offbeat romantic comedy. The rest of the soundtrack album features Rachel Portman’s score, which emphasizes the movie’s whimsical nature.
