Stand By Me (Special Edition)
In a small woodsy Oregon town, a group of friends-sensitive Gordie, tough-guy Chris, scaredy-cat Vern, and flamboyant Teddy are in search of a missing teenager's body. Wanting to be heroes in each others' and their hometown's eyes, they set out on an unforgettable two-day trek that turns into an odyssey of self-discovery. They sneak smokes, tell tall tales, cuss 'cause it's cool, and band together when the going gets tough. When they encounter the town's knife-wielding hoods who are also after the body, the boys discover a strength they never knew they had. Stand By Me is a rare and special film about friendship and the indelible experiences of growing up. Filled with humor and suspense, Stand By Me is based on the novella "The Body" by Stephen King.

Stand By Me is an American classic that is as good as they come and will warm and break the hearts of everyone who watches it; young and old. The acting is fabulous and Rob Reiner's direction couldn't be better. The characters are amongst the most memorable of all time and Kiefer Sutherland's performances have never been colder.
Based on a Stephen King novel, this coming of age movie will captivate you from start to finish. If you like this, but want a darker twist on the coming of age flick, check out Canada's own Mon oncle Antoine from Criterion.My all time favorite - scottfriesen
Everyone should see this movie. It's such a wonderful story of these 4 boys who you grow attached to as every minute of it passes. Back in the days when movies were simple and the story line great, this is a fine example of what can happen when you find a great cast and an excellent story. I loved it when I first saw it at age 11 and I love it to this day. A classic.
