Film: Stand By Me by Rob Reiner

A iconic film from 1986 with some famous actors in childhood acting roles. The tragic River Phoenix and Will Wheaton.

The plot is a light boyhood adventure to trek out of town to track down a dead body that they had heard about. In some ways the plot does it's best not to get in the way of the journey and story of the boys (which is told reflectively by the older self of one of the boys who is writing his account).

A very good film, with some great memories played out that most will remember from their own childhood 8/10.
