Stand By Me

[Panhead]

The film not the song. Just watched it for first time in couple years.

Still holds up, was one of my favourites growing up, great cast although the final scene with River Phoenix is very sad knowing his real life fate.

 

[Walter H. White]

Bloody brilliant film.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Class film, shame that Keifer ruins it with a terrible performance mind.

 

[Hettonlass]

Loved it

Yeah it’s not his finest hour, although I’ve always found Kiefer Sutherland a tad wooden.

Oh he is but in that he’s like a kid reading a school play amazing bairns like Phoenix blew him out of the water.

Hello mate, long time no see!

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Love it. Tend to watch it about once a year. Agree about Sutherland. Don't really like him in anything.

There was a show he win in a good few years ago now I enjoyed. His son was a mute autistic who can see the future or something. Can’t remember exactly.

Got cancelled after two seasons I think.

Touch. Our lass watched it.

Superb film, tried to get my 13 & 15 year old daughters to watch it and when I told them what it was about they decided no. Their loss.

That’s it. Was canny and was getting right into it. And in typical American fashion they cancelled it.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Cracking film. Never get bored of it.

Just a tad. You could carve a replica Noah's ark out of Kiefer, when he's working.

His Dad's just as bad.

 

[Boinger]

Never seen it, but will now.

 

[rapscallion]

The balls leeches, tho

 

[Helmerroids]

One of very favourite films, had a copy of it on VHS as a kid and used to watch it on a regular basis.

Funny looking back to when there were only 4 channels how I used to rewatch films so regularly so that you literally knew them line for line.

SBM was one of them, Highlander, Alien, Aliens, Total Recall, Sleeper, Lost Boys, Life of Brian, Time Bandits - reckon the 14 yo me knew them all pretty much word for word.

It demonstrates Stephen King's brilliance as a storyteller. Just a simple story transcribed almost word for word and made into a simple film. There's a lot of love that went into the novella and the film.
