For some, it's the last real taste of innocence, and the first real taste of life.
After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie, Vern, Chris and Teddy 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.

Reviews

There’s a line at the end of this that asks whether or not we’ll ever have better friends in our lives than we did at the age of twelve? Spouses notwithstanding, it’s probably quite a fair assertion as illustrated by these four lads. They are from different sides of the tracks, literally, in a small town Oregon where a lad their own age has gone missing. Determined to do their bit to help - and fu

<em>'Stand by Me'</em> is undeniably an 80s flick - and a good one at that. The kid actors aren't actually all that great in terms of the performances that they give, though do have likeability and a beliveable friendship that make them worthy of watching across a road trip of sorts. Corey Feldman is the only youngster onscreen that I thought that I previously knew of, though I now see that Jer

**A good film about the value of friendship and companionship.** This is one of those films that becomes adorable not only because of what it shows and tells us, but also because of the affective memories it awakens in us, or even because of the messages it brings and which it explains in its narrative.

Also, I've had many friends like Chris, being tough on the outside, while sweet on the inside, and I've known people like Vern, Teddy and Denny too :) Beautiful music, acting and truth about growing up, as relevant today as it was in the 80s/
