Anyone else love "Stand by me"? Damn I love that movie

[HEyHEY]

As with many people, it is 100 per cent what I was like with my group of friends growing up. The film caputred that so well.
What do you like about it?

1. Best adaptation of Stephen King ever.

And King's best writing.

[bookman]

9. That and ...

...Shawshank.

[evlbstrd]

10. Shawshank still yanked some obvious chains.

The Body/Stand by Me much less so. It was more about the ambiguitty of experience than redemption.

[Wetzelbill]

2. I really liked it

I love how River Phoenix portrayed that kid. It was so moving.

[HEyHEY]

5. yeah, rock, the leader - every group of kids needs one to smack the

other into shape and keep em on the right track.

3. You found a dead body and didn't report it to the police?

[HEyHEY]

6. In the end we decided an anonymous phonecall was the best thing to do

[hallc]

4. What the fuck was Goofy?

Fave line from that movie...

[RandomKoolzip]

7. "Hey Vern, nobody believes in that stuff about Moons and Goochers."

Yeah, that movie...I musta seen it 40 times. Many of those lines became classic among me and my friends. Especially "'These are really good times.' Now, Vern wasn't just talking about the junkyard...."

I know a lot of women can't understand what it is about guys and "Stand By me." But It's like a guy's version of a chick flick. When you're twelve, boys really talk like that.

12. I am a woman and I loved that film

But I was always kind of tomboyish.

[KitchenWitch]

8. Loved the movie

It totally captured that boyhood on the cusp of manhood theme beautifully.

[Poiuyt]

11. great projectile vomiting!

14. mailbox baseball? n/t

[moof]

15. Great story, everything a film should be.

[Allenberg]

16. Loved the book, loved the movie.

Shame they didn't mention how the other guys died in the movie, or about Gordie getting his ass kicked by Ace and the gang.

[Clintmax]

17. "Stand By Me" is one of my favorites too...

My favorite line was: "...Finding new and preferably disgusting ways to degrade a friends mother was always held in high regard."
