Stephen King really knows how to create characters. In Stand By Me his characters come to life under Rob Reiner's direction and once the movie is over you feel like you've taken the journey with them. I was actually surprised that this movie wasn't in the top 20. This one is worth owning, which I will once payday comes and watching over and over. The soundtrack is great, the cinematography is beautiful and the kids are awesome.
Stolen from IMDB: "Based on Stephen King's Short story "The Body", "Stand By Me" tells the tale of Gordie Lachance, a writer who looks back on his preteen days when he and three close friends went on their own adventure to find the body of a kid their age who had gone missing and presumed dead. The stakes are upped when the bad kids in town are closely tailing - and it becomes a race to see who'll be able to recover the body first."
Excellent movie.
Favorite Quote: "Geez, Gordie. Why couldn't you have gotten breakfast stuff? Like Twinkies and Pez and Root Beer?"
Favorite Scene: Chris talks about the teacher who stole from him.
Awards:Nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing and Screenplay. Many others
Would Jessica like this movie? She would have loved it but she went to bed early.
Next Movie: Out Of Africa
