If you haven\u2019t seen Stand By Me yet then why not? Based on the Stephen King novella, The Body, this 1986 movie is one of the greatest of all time. Long before Stranger Things was a thing, this coming-of-age story starred River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Jerry O\u2019Connell and Corey Feldman; all of whom take us on a journey we\u2019d never forget. If you\u2019re still unconvinced, here are just some (of the many) reasons why Stand By Me is one of the greatest movies ever made.<\/div>\nWhy \u201cStand By Me\u201d Is one of the greatest movies ever made<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The plot<\/h2>\n
Stand By Me isn\u2019t like any other coming-of-age drama you\u2019ll ever see. It\u2019s not about the destination for these four boys, it\u2019s all about the journey. Without giving too many spoilers away, let\u2019s give you a brief rundown. Vern, Chris, Teddy, and Gordie overhear that there is a dead body in the woods, near to the train tracks, from Chris\u2019 older brother and his friends. They decide that they\u2019d investigate for themselves, setting off on an expedition for a couple of days, complete with camping equipment and supplies. What happens along their journey provokes big changes in the four boys; changes that are so worth watching for.<\/p>\n
The boys<\/h2>\n
What makes Stand By Me so amazing is the performance from all four of the boys in the movie. There is serious on-screen chemistry between all four of the young guys in the film. You\u2019ll laugh with them, cry with them, and relate to their messing around with each other. Each one has their own special something to bring to the table. Gordie tells the stories, Vern is the sensitive and shy one, Chris is the one with all the wise words, and Teddy is the hilarious and crazy one. There will be at least one of these boys that you can totally relate to throughout their journey (just in case you\u2019re wondering, we\u2019re Chris). Their chemistry together is what makes their friendship – and the movie as a whole – so exciting. \nWhy \u201cStand By Me\u201d Is one of the greatest movies ever made<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n
The dialog<\/h2>\n
There are some moments in Stand By Me that will have you clutching your belly with laughter, especially when you realize they\u2019re coming out of the mouths of 12-year-old boys. We can\u2019t really list them all here for two reasons. One: spoilers. Two: it again comes down to the chemistry the boys have on-screen. You have to hear the joke from their mouths, to actually really enjoy it. But it\u2019s not just the humor that makes the dialog so good, the sentimental lines have it all too. In fact, the joking around in the movie actually makes those sentimental lines all the more unique and hard hitting.<\/p>\n
The emotions<\/h2>\n
Stand By Me was one of the first (and only) movies that show the real inner workings of a young boy. Because, shock horror, boys have real emotions too. With the media always telling boys to \u2018toughen up,\u2019 this film brings to light the raw and sometimes heartbreaking emotions that we all go through. Young, old, male or female, you\u2019ll relate to all of the emotions that the four boys portray. \nI could go on forever about why Stand By Me is one of the greatest movies ever made – or, you could watch it for yourself and just see what we mean. Trust me, you\u2019ll never look back. \nWhy \u201cStand By Me\u201d Is one of the greatest movies ever made<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
