Stand by me. [View all]

Stand by Me is a 1986 American drama film directed by Rob Reiner. Based on the novella The Body by Stephen King, the film takes its title from the Ben E. King song of the same name, which plays over the end credits.

Starring: Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell & Kiefer Sutherland.

Great novella by Stephen King. I don't usually like books that are made into movies, however this one was one of the best!
