The Loser's Club
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.
