Stand By Me (1986)

About

Stand by Me, from first shot to last, the work of a genuine film artist.” — David Denby, New York Magazine

Stand By Me is the summer’s great gift, a compassionate, perfectly performed look at the real heart of youth. It stands, sweet and strong, ribald, outrageous and funny, like its heroes themselves–a bit gamy around the edges, perhaps, but pure and fine clear through. It’s one of those treasures absolutely not to be missed.” — Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times

SYNOPSIS

Rob Reiner’s adaptation of a novella by Stephen King begins as a boyhood adventure and gradually reveals itself as something more reflective and bittersweet. Set in the summer of 1959, it follows four friends who leave their small Oregon town in search of a missing body, their journey unfolding against the backdrop of first encounters with mortality, class, and adulthood. Narrated from a distance of many years, Stand by Me remains a poignant meditation on friendship, memory, and the people who shape us before we know who we are.
