A sleeper hit when released in 1986, Stand by Me is based on Stephen King's novella "The Body" (from the book Different Seasons); but it's more about the joys and pains of boyhood friendship than a morbid fascination with corpses. It's about four boys ages 12 and 13 (Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell) who take an overnight hike through the woods near their Oregon town to find the body of a boy who's been missing for days. Their journey includes a variety of scary adventures (including a ferocious junkyard dog, a swamp full of leeches, and a treacherous leap from a train trestle), but it's also a time for personal revelations, quiet interludes, and the raucous comradeship of best friends. Set in the 1950s, the movie indulges an overabundance of anachronistic profanity and a kind of idealistic, golden-toned nostalgia (it's told in flashback as a story written by Wheaton's character as an adult, played by Richard Dreyfuss). But it's delightfully entertaining from start to finish, thanks to the rapport among its young cast members and the timeless, universal themes of friendship, family, and the building of character and self-esteem. Kiefer Sutherland makes a memorable teenage villain, and look closely for John Cusack in a flashback scene as Wheaton's now-deceased and dearly missed brother. A genuine crowd-pleaser, this heartfelt movie led director Rob Reiner to even greater success with his next film, The Princess Bride. --Jeff Shannon

 Best "coming of age" movie of all time! June 8, 2010
R. B Merhar (Saint Paul, Minnesota United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When the author (Stephen King) says this is the best depiction of one of his stories done in movie form, you can bank on it. It is based largely on King's childhood and some of his childhood friends at age 12. It has a unique universal appeal to many of us who experienced many of the same things and had similar friends at that age. This has got to be the best movie ever done about "coming of age", the journey, and the people and things we encountered at that innocent age. Its a movie you can watch over and over without ever tiring of it. Five stars, and richly deserved, for this Rob Reiner production.

This 1986 adaption of the Stephen King novella The Body stars River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Keifer Sutherland. A group iof boys goes searching for a dead body encountering trouble along the way. I thought it was a worthwhile film having seen it as a kid and it stills holds up years later. Though tame, it is one of the better Stephen King adaptions though not horror oriented. I would recommend it.
A Timeless Classic April 20, 2010

One of the best (if not the best) coming of age movies of all time. This movie has it all. It has murder mystery. It has misunderstood young men. It has hoodlums. It has flashbacks. And it has cussing cause it's cool. Although none of these actors, with the exception of Kiefer Sutherland, went on to make very major careers, maybe in River Phoenix's case because of his suicide, they all gave very convincing performances. The story was phenomenally captivating.From the start you won't want to stop, it is so much fun. It is a very serious movie, but at the same time it has a lot of well placed humor. All the characters have very distinctive and very likable personalities. The only thing I didn't like was the end where they told us what became of the boys as adults, and said the "bad boy" was going to turn his life around but was stabbed. Stephen King seems to like to kill kids (another example of this is "The Mist" where the father is forced to shoot his own son). This movie is a timeless classic. I will cherish it forever, and will definitely show this to my children. 50/10!
