Stand by Me
"If I could only have one food to eat for the rest of my life?" "That's easy. Pez. Cherry flavor Pez. No question about it."
After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four boys decide to go see the body. Gordie, Vern, Chris, and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, but they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.
A coming-of-age tale that treats each of its tween leads as three dimensional characters. The bittersweet ending of this generational tale has only improved with age and is a true rewatchable classic in that at every point in your life you visit this film you'll take away something unique and personal.

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