Lit Flicks: Stand By Me
The story of four boys who go on a hike across the countryside, looking for the dead body of a missing child, "Stand By Me" is a coming-of-age tale that blends comedy with drama. Based on the novella "The Body" by horror master Stephen King, the film introduced us to then-rising stars Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Jerry O'Connell.
