Stand by Me

"I saw this in the theater. All the guys are great. Of course I had a crush on River Phoenix. I've chatted with Wil Wheaton on social media a few times over the years. He's a good soul and kind man. Very happy to have talked to him. He remembers this movie fondly, as do I. "

"“Wanna watch my favorite movie?” Is what my grandpa said when he put this movie on and I can see why it would be his favorite. The movie is pure childhood and probably a childhood he felt close to. It’s a grim but happy outlook on childhood friends and the adventures you take with them (messed up adventures but still) and how you all wanna grow up so fast tell you get to adulthood…well then it’s too late. #friendship #adventure "

"Great book to movie by Stephen king "

"Loved this movie ever since I first watched, have watched it 3 times now. Such a nice adventure going on with good and bad things going on. Incredible watch."

"This one is another classic, for some reason I had a crush on the kid with glasses when I was younger. 😂"

"5/10 Not much happens? It's a good movie though. Mostly just boys being (emotionally vulnerable) boys on a journey "

"The cast was fun and they all had their moments Short but fun with a simple story that works. Lots of emotional moments that feel natural. Short and sweet"

"I never had any friends when I was 12 years old, damn does anybody? Or whateva Gordon LaChance said"

"Such a great story. Everyone is excellent in it. River Phoenix is just wonderful. I miss him. So sad. But the movie is great!! Watch it. "

"A touching, yet classic film. It's a very nicely-paced, circular narrative that says a lot about life, at least in my opinion. I think the main quartet of characters are very wonderful and well-acted, and they fit very well together. The setting is nostalgic, and I feel like this film just has a lot of themes that can connect to adolescence and growing up, as well as life. The way things in life can affect you, but also are such small things. A nice 1980's movie with good writing. 8/10"
