Few films are able to do that and I think that this one was an inspiration for others that will do the same in the future. I feel that it is a film that everyone should see at some point in their life due to the fact it changes your look at youth and their trials. In fact, it lies in my top three, probably at #2 or #3. This film is certainly one of my top favorites. The coming-of-age story behind Stand by Me originated from the mind of supernatural and horror writer Stephen King. And, in the end he surprised the characters and the viewers by standing up to the bullies that had plagued them all. Still coping with the loss of his brother and the fact that his father was disrespectful to him, Gordy still stood up for what he believed in. Gordy was not very strong, at first, and was not sure what he wanted, except to be with his friends.

I don't know if any one else shares this, but it was true. In a small Oregon town, a group of friends - sensitive Gordie (Wil Wheaton), tough-guy Chris (River Phoenix), flamboyant Teddy (Corey Feldman), and scaredy-cat. I found myself seeing a little of me in Gordy as I watched the film. The fat kid, picked on and ridiculed for his weight. Most of us have met the boy down the road who had a brother with a bad name and a father with an alcohol problem, automatically being labeled as a "bad kid." And the boy with the military father, abusive and a little whacko. All of us know someone like these characters. I think that all who have seen this film will agree that the problems are all things that we can relate to. "Stand By Me" fits what the characters in the story are facing.
