Does anyone remember the 1986 movie "Stand By Me"?

A pretty good movie.  I was amazed when I finally made the connection that Jerry O'Connell played Vern the chubby kid in Stand By Me.  I guess he grew out of his baby fat.

I think there was a song by the same name.  Do you suppose they're related, Lynn?



Really, you can answer this one.  Come on--it'll be fun.  FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, GIVE US ALL AN ANSWER!!! 



...or at the very least, GIVE MR. WILSON A SHOT!!!

Wasn't this a movie based upon a Stephen King short story about  a group of boys off to find a girl who was really a robot?

Great movie.

The song "Stand by Me" came first.  Was also used as soundtrack for TV series,  Crime Stories.   That always reminded me of this movie.



I think it was based loosely on a novela by Steven King.

Re: "Stand By Me"


One of my favorite movies ever. And yeah the song pre- dates the movie by about 50 years but that was a great catch. It's a good song too.

Well, more like 35 years or so since the movie was made in 1986.

Absolutely fantastic movie. It was the first DVD that my family ever bought. Actually a few nights ago, my friends and I watched it after a good drink and smoke. I love it! It's definetly up there with my favourites.
