Film: Stand By Me

[Jabberwocky]

I've noticed there isn't a thread for this absolutely classic film.
I absolutely love it, i bought it on video years ago and i still watch it all the time even though i practically know the scipt off by heart!

Any discussion is welcome and we'll take it from there.

^^^Ahahah, love it :D

Love this bit:

Vern:
"I like the ending. The barfing was really good. But there is one thing I didn't understand. Did Lardass have to pay to get into the contest? "



Gordie:

No, Vern, they just let him in.



Vern:

Oh! Oh great. Great story.

The movie is good but the novella it is based on (The Body) by Stephen King is absolutely amazing. Closest writing I've ever read to capturing exactly what it is to be a boy.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Yeap i read The Body in high school and i still pick it up and read it when i'm bored. It's like the film, you can read it over and over, plus the book has some short stories written by Geordie in it.

it's an amazing film

It's a beautiful film.

My favourite scene is the camp fire scene. It's where Chris confesses to Gordie that although he got blamed for stealing the milk money at school, he never actually took it.

All the actors were great, but River Phoenix was the one who stood out for me. He was such a natural infront of the camera, and he would have gone on to be one of the greatest actors of his time had he not of died when he did. RIP.

The countryside scenery is what makes the film even better, i know it's set in Oregon but does anyone know if that's where the wilderness scenes were actually filmed?

Oregon is where it's at baby Representing the homestate. Beavers for life. Beautiful place and there is still a lot of untouched land once you get into the country.

Sorry to derail the thread. I had to.
