Stand By Me

Stand By Me

1986

In this Rob Reiner dramatization of Stephen King's novella The Body, a writer (Richard Dreyfuss) tells the story of how he and three other boys sought adventure and heroism. In the 1950s, in the woods of Oregon, the boys set out to find a missing teen's dead body. What they find out about themselves along the way, though, means even more in this coming-of-age tale co-starring River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Wil Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell.

For some, it's the last real taste of innocence, and the first real taste of life. But for everyone, it's the time that memories are made of.
