About this movie

In a small, woodsy Oregon town, a group of friends - sensitive Gordie (Wil Wheaton), tough guy Chris (River Phoenix), flamboyant Teddy (Corey Feldman), and scaredy-cat Vern (Jerry O'Connell) - are in search of a missing teenager's body. Wanting to be heroes in each other's and their hometown's eyes, they set out on an unforgettable two-day trek that turns into an odyssey of self-discovery. When they encounter the town's knife-wielding hoods, the boys discover a strength they never knew they had. Based on the novella "The Body" by Stephen King, STAND BY ME is a rare and special film about friendship and the indelible experience of growing up. (Original Title - Stand By Me) (c) 1986 Columbia Pictures Industries , Inc. All Rights Reserved.

When I first watched this film I didn't realise it was 2 years older than me. But this is one of my favourite childhood films. Great story and great movie. Shame they don't make movies from books/novels like they did with this. The one thing I will say about this fipm TIMELESS CLASSIC if you haven't seen this movie. You need to watch!!!!

Fantastic adaptation of a king short story. Watched it when I was around 14 for first time and now at 36 it still takes me back to that time each and every time I watch it. Can't recommend enough.
