One of my favorite of the "coming of age" films. The young cast works great with one another and the bond of friendship just feels real. Strongly recommended for families despite some heavy themes. |

An all start cast with the likes of ?The Goonies? (hell, it seems half of them are in ?The Goonies?) takes on rolls that prove children can act, and act well. Cory Feldman should have been a real star! Recommended for Adolescents and adults. |

Rob Reiner/Stephen King collaboration worth seeing |
|
I first watched this movie when I was around 17 years old and I love it even more every time I watch it. "Stand by Me" is the ultimate story about friendship, and being able to trust and rely on your friends. It's main characters are four twelve year old boys; intelligent, aspiring writer Gordie (Wil Wheaton), the 'tough' leader Chris (River Phoenix), the sensitive 'but trying to hide it' Teddy (Corey Feldman) and Vern (Jerry O'Connell), the wuss of the group.
The four friends, who are all facing troubles at home, group together in order to find the body of a 12 year old who was recently hit by a train and killed. However, the bad gang in town is also after the body, and so Gordie and his friends must get there first. The story is told from the perspective of an older Gordie, looking b... |

Stand By Me |
|
If i'm blessed with good health and good memory, one day I might find myself as an 80 year old man, reminiscing of the past. And if there is anything i can say with some certainty, its that Stand By Me will have always been and will still be in my top 2 favourite films of all time. I cannot let go of this film. |

This is without a doubt one of the best coming-of-age tales I’ve ever seen. I haven’t read the novella by Stephen King which this film was based on so I don’t know how close this movie followed the original material. However, I cannot praise this film any higher. The four main cast is top notch: Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O’Connell. Each of them were put on the spotlight during their journey to see a dead body, so we really got to know them well, despite the film’s running time of only about an hour and thirty-five minutes. Wheaton is the writer whose brother had died, played by John Cusack, and doesn’t feel accepted by his father, Phoenix is the natural leader of the group who is both tough and sympathetic, Feldman is the sarcastic kid and is a bit emotionally d... |
