Why watch this film?
After the death of a friend, a writer recounts a boyhood journey to find the body of a missing boy.
"This is a small movie, with a modest but relevant and touching story. Inspired by Stephen King's short novel, 'The Body', 'Stand By Me' has developed a certain cult status since its release that has inspired generations (series like 'Stranger Things' owe much to King and this particular movie). In addition, it has in its cast young actors who developed great careers years later, such as Kiefer Sutherland, Wil Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell."
