Sad but Warming Watch
Love this film, perfect Sunday afternoon viewing. Right of passage story with fantastic added fiction shorts that stay with you for a good while after the film has finished.

Stand By Me- is one of only three films stephen King himself likes based off of his novels. That is saying a lot because most of his adaptions are bad.

The Plot: After learning that a stranger has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie Lachance (Wil Wheaton), Vern Tessio (Jerry O'Connell), Chris Chambers (River Phoenix) and Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman) encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.

What a perfect cast of people.

Stand By Me- has drama, adventure, kids being kids, bullies and more.

I would highly reccordmend it.

One of my favourite Stephen king's movie and for a change not a horror but a coming of age story which works better great soundtrack including the the title song sang by Ben e king makes all wish we had childhoods like this
