"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"

Stand by Me is a timeless screen gem based on a Stephen King novella called 'The Body'. The film marks one of the best Stephen King translations to the big screen; this poignant, touching classic is quite simply a masterpiece.

I knew I was going to like Stand By Me because of it being a Stephen King novel but I had absolutely no idea that I would love it as much as I did. Stand By Me is a really grand experiencing adventure for the four kids within the film. What I loved most about this film was that it showed how fun experiencing new things can really be and how also I love going camping and walking through forests and... read more

“(NX) Muy eficaz, entrañable coming of age de Rob Reiner, con River Phoenix robándose el alma del resto de chicos, se basa en un cuento tan rico en peripecias de un solo día que tienen buenos episodios (el tren sobre el puente, la competencia de tortas, el pantano y la sanguijuelas)...” read more

"5.8. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Koululaisten kesäloma lähenee loppuaan, joten heille ensikosketukset kesälomaklassikkoon. On nostalgiaa ja tunteilua, mutta osuu omakohtaisesti yläasteikäistä itseäni enemmän ja useampiin nostalgiareseptoreihin niin tehokkaasti, että vähän senkin vuoksi liikuttaa aidosti. On hieno."

Unforgettable

“I saw Stand By Me yesterday for the first time in one and a half years, (I'm 17) and I absolutely loved it, and it is definitely one of my favourite Stephen King adaptations. I will say I absolutely loved Shawshank Redemption, and despite the fact that it was unfaithful to the book, and badly flawed, I liked It too.Stand By Me, based on the novella by Stephen King, which I admit I haven't read, not only has a wonderfully engaging story, but it is both funny and moving. This is helped by the strong and wholly believable performances from the entire cast that include Kiefer Sutherland, John Cusack, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Conell and River Pheonix especially.The script was very well-crafted, and the film tells brilliantly of the values of friendship and standing together.

"One of my favourite films as a kid, still one of my favourites, and a movie that got me into 80s films and literally movies altogether. I love all the main characters and their backgrounds; as well as the directing, acting, plot, and whole aesthetic in general, it always makes me cultivate a warm, fuzzy feeling which I find very rare in films. Overall a must-watch for literally anyone and a wonderful, relatable, timeless classic that may or may not stay with you for years to come"
