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.

Stand By Me is the most beautiful film ever. This is honestly an 80’s MASTERPIECE! I felt myself wanting to go back in time to hang out with my childhood friends.

Oh my gosh I can’t lie the acting was shit, like it was so bad like the fake crying and shit like bro no. But the story line was cute, their friendship so adorable.

Ok everyone - this is a 80's kid about kids, but don't think it is like the others as it is a Stephen King adaptation. It isn't for kids - unless you want to traumatize them.
Coming of age at a high price, what makes this a special one on that decade.
A solid 8.2 out of 10.0 / A in my score.
