Stand By Me

Stand By Me. 1986 Columbia Pictures.
Starring: Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, Kiefer Sutherland
Director: Rob Reiner
Buy Stand By Me at Amazon.

Ah yes, the wonderful story of Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern and their coming of age weekend trip to go see the dead body of their friend Ray Brower, who met his end after being struck by a passing train. Our heroes nearly meet the same fate while crossing a trestle over a river, which seems to be the one scene from the movie that everybody seems to remember best.

Great film. Recommended.
