Starring: Wil Wheaton, River Pheonix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, Keifer Sutherland

Plot Summary: Based on Stephen King's Short story "The Body", "Stand By Me" tells the tale of Gordie Lachance, a writer who looks back on his preteen days when he and three close friends went on their own adventure to find the body of a kid their age who had gone missing and presumed dead. The stakes are upped when the bad kids in town are closely tailing - and it becomes a race to see who'll be able to recover the body first.

Classic movie. One of the first "grown up" movies I ever liked when I was younger. #195 on IMDB's top 250.

My Rating: 8/10

Ahhh, that one's a classic.
