Stand by me, classic or out dated?

Stormymystic · 06-10-2004, 09:40 AM

my brother just found this movie on DVD and though I have yet to re-watch it, I am wondering if you guys would watch it, it is a movie from the 80's for those who wonder, I will probably watch it later today or tomorrow, just to see if it is as good as I thought it was when a kid, or not, what do you think?

Is that the school something with chaotic kids and this and that with the song Stand By Me? If so, watch it.

Stormymystic · 06-10-2004, 10:27 AM

no, that was lean on me, this is about a group of friends who are searching for a teenagers body trying to become heros to each other, as well as their town it is based on a stephen king novel called the body

Ah, yes. Thanks for reminding me.
I don't see a problem in seeing that movie. If you've got it, watch it, and then tell us how it was.

of course you should weatch it it's got Wil Wheaton in it (www.wilwheaton.net) (aka Wesley Crusher from ST: TNG) he's a much cooler guy than the poorly written character he played on TV. Also the scene with the leeches was real (with real leeches according to his FAQ he's still scarred *down there*)

Oh I thought that you meant lean on me, was going to say that its a classic. I have not seen Stand by me. But I would watch it as I am a Stephen King fan.

Stormymystic · 06-11-2004, 12:03 AM

I watched it, and no, there is a big difference between Lean on me, and Stand by me, it was not what I remembred, but still seems a good classic, now for the next movie tomorrow.. The Outsiders...my brothe bought a bunch of old movies, so can not wait to see them, lol, and I know all about stephen king, am trying to find his latest gunslinger book, but it is still in the hard back, so will cost me more than I can afford :/

I thought the making of the short story "The Body" into the movie "Stand By Me" was very good.

I have owned the movie for years and watch it from time to time.

"The Outsiders" is also a good movie. Read that book, too.

Sounds pretty okay that one but not available here anyway so i cant see the movie.

Stormymystic · 06-11-2004, 10:41 AM

aww sorry megabot :/ it is a good movie, just older than most in the way of a plot
