i would say the best one. which is better in youre opinion?

That last summer before puberty throws everything into chaos. I love how Stephen King has written stories in every type of genre there is Horror, Supernatural, Suspense, Crime, Science Fiction, Drama, Romance, True Story, Fantasy and who knows how many more

He said in an interview that he also wrote some porn stories who tried to sell in the late 60's.

I saw this movie in the theatre when I was 14. A very simple story even for the time and I loved it

Leaving behind the age of innocence, everyone will remember a friend or friends who cannot be replaced. Friendships which cannot be regained. Thanks, ladies, That was nice. 💙

This movie hits so many of our childhood memories

Of all of the Stephen King books that have been made into movies (some great, some good, and some really horrible), the three that stand out as the best, to me, are (The Body) Stand By Me, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile. I’m glad you finally got around to seeing this one.

The Body and Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (note that there is no "the" in that title) are stories in the same book -- Different Seasons -- along with Apt Pupil (which was made into a movie) and The Breathing Method (which was not).

I liked also the Myst, still not at the level of these ones

Even though the four boys were in four different families and were raised different. The friendship was real and pure. Nobody should ever underestimate the power of a true friendship...

This is one of my favorite movies to watch when it flips on the channels every so often movie channels Glad you ladies enjoyed it The plot twist at the end was freaking crazy for each character such an awesome story about five friends yeah this movie some people need to see at least once

There is no plot twist in the movie. If you think him announcing that Chris died is a plot twist, you should look at the newspaper adult Gordie is reading in the beginning.

But seriously... Beautiful movie. I love it! Classic bullying but kids stand out! And the parents with the kids... Heartbroken but in the end, amazing

Another great movie about growing up that everyone should see is *The Breakfast Club*

It’s a coming of age movie where a group of boys come together & go on an adventure. During the adventure they learn from each other & teach each other real life lessons & grow from the experiences. It’s a tale as old as time. My friends & I biked everywhere growing up & doing dangerous & stupid stuff during the summers. Any young boys could relate to this, but probably not as much today sadly.

Pretty much... while we didnt go looking for a dead body or had psycho bullies, life for me and the other neighborhood boys in the 80's could relate to this movie (that leech part in particular lol) and the Goonies. This is a pretty accurate and id say timeless look at how a group of boys that age act, think and talk amongst themselves. Granted... as you say, might be different now days. Was still the same in the 90's as a teen, but I still think the inner mind of a young man hasnt changed much for 1000 years lol.

Six years later, River Phoenix (Chris Chambers) would die. I think I recall it was a drug overdose. From a talented family, Chris' brother Joaquin became a superstar actor in such films as Gladiator (2000), brilliantly playing the villain and the lead role of real life singer, Johnny Cash in Walk the Line (2004) for which he received an Academy Award nomination. Watching this film, Stand by Me, after River Phoenix's death can be a very emotional experience, especially if watched in late summer around Labor Day. 😶

8 years after filming, 7 years after release.

My brother and used to go hiking in the hills north of Boise, Idaho just north of Hilll rd, in the summer of 1959 we found a couple old abandoned houses that used 1930's and 1940's True Detective magazines for wallpaper. We went to the house's many times to read the wallpaper, I was 12 my brother was 14

15:43 I have a question. When will The Homies have a pie eating contest like the one in the movie?

Launched the careers of a few young actors in this movie. Joachim Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Cory Feldman, Kiefer Sutherland. Another movie along these same lines is The Outsiders with very young actors Tom Cruse, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Emilio Esteves, Ralph Macchio, and Dianne Lane. Great movie. Recommend you watch.

Sorry. Meant River Phoenix, brother of Joachim.

Joaquin Phoenix who won an Oscar for the Joker mentioned his late brother River(Chris in the movie) in his speech. The boy who turned out to become a writer(Will Wheaton) ended up on the series Star Trek: The Next Generation. His older self played by Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss famous for JAWS and The Goodbye Girl. Vern(Jerry O'Connell) does a talk show called The Talk and films like the remake of Pirahna. Ace(Kiefer Sutherland) has been in many tv shows and films and his dad is actor Donald Sutherland who plays President Snow in The Hunger Games films. The brother who died is played by film actor John Cusack who did films like Identity, Grosse Point Blank, and Serendipity . Teddy(Corey Feldman) was in films like The Goonies and Friday the 13th: the Final Chapter

River Phoenix, was going to be the next huge Hollywood star. He OD'd a few years after this, brother of Juaquin Phoenix. Narrator is Richard Dreyfuss, in Jaws! Cory Feldman And Kieffer Sutherland did Lost Boys, right after this!!😮😮

I met the narrator and guy on the computer in 8th grade on a class trip to Washigton D.C. Hes Richard Dreyfus and played the Oceanographer Cooper in Jaws. Totally down to Earth, cool guy. He was doing a documentary for the History Channel, wound up chatting with 8 of us for nearly an hour.

thats so cool youre lucky

I remember back in 2008 I took Film Education as an elective cause everyone in school said you get to watch movies for assignments. To my surprise this was the first film our teacher presented to us and after watching it our class grew closer as the years went on. Eventually we all graduated moved to highschool still anytime we saw each other we'd quote this film or simply take the time to talk about what was going on at home before class. It wasn't just some social hierarchy where you were left out we saw each other as human beings and I will always love this film for teaching us that at a young age. 🧠

The howling in the woods was a pack of coyotes. They're kinda like halfway between foxes and wolves.

Great reaction video about a really good and deep movie. Sadly River Phoenix just as his character (Chris) passed away far to young (23) in a drugoverdose back in -93. You girls should really watch his best perfomance. Its in a indiemovie called "My Own Private Idaho" directed by Gus Van Sant. There hes playing against one of his best friends, Keanu Reeves!

Mr King lives 2 1/4 hours from my home; I’ve driven right by it several times 😊

Great Reaction! Stand by Me is probably the best coming of age movie ever made. Great character piece. Hope Michelle and Vicki react to it someday.

R.I.P. River Phoenix! 😢🥺😭💔

He's alive

Lia & Ellie All of these kids actors are still acting today except River Phoenix who died at the age of 23 in 1993. Will Wheaton aka Gordie also starred as Wesley Crusher of Star Trek: Next Generation. Corey Feldman aka Teddy has been in movies from the Goonies and Lost Boys with Kiefer Sutherland aka Ace. Jerry O'Connell aka Vern has also been in a lot of movies too. Phoenix had possible stellar career before his sudden death. Phoenix played young Indiana Jones of the movie, Indiana Jones and Last Crusade.

Funny thing, in the Big Bang Theory, Wil Wheaton played himself and Jerry O’Connell was Sheldon’s brother George. In the season 11 finale with Sheldon and Amy’s wedding they were both there.

Wonderful, Ladies! Such a great story. Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊

In the book, Gordie tells us that Vern tragically died in a house fire that occurred at a party in 1966, six years after the story's events. Teddy died in a car accident near Harlow, Maine in 1971 or 1972, making DuChamp around 23 years old at the time of his death. Chris of course dies after being stabbed after trying to break up a fight.

Lovely ladies, I think all your viewers would really enjoy watching your reaction to the movie “Million Dollar Baby,” starring Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Hilary Swank! It’s a terrific 2005 film with iconic actors, including a strong female leading character, that all of the Homies should see - PLEASE do!

Great movie. This movie is always kind of sad considering Reaver Phonix died in real life. Another great kid adventure movie is Flight Of The Navigator . A great coming of age movie (With older people not kids) no one reacted to is Big Wednesday. Also another Rob Riener great movie is When Harry Met Sally.

Ellie, you and Mich should finish the Indiana Jones series, as the last one comes out in June, and also to see River Phoenix again in one of his last roles. You saw his younger brother Joaquin in Joker and Gladiator.

There were moments in this movie, Chris Chambers looked more grown up than most grown-ups.

These kids are now old enough to be your dads

I was about nine years old when I first watched this movie I can relate to Gordy I wanted to become a writer. I wrote a lot of short stories when I was in the fifth grade that was set around the town of Castlerock I even wrote a zombie comedy set in 1950s,

this film really makes me cry every single time

Crazy how river Phoenix was actually 17 years old in this movie and yet he still looked like a child

The howling sounds were coyote howls

I love the homies channel. I read that book as a kid. Love the leech explanation. Lia your great

Ellie's favorite scene " THE BARF-A-RAMA"

This is my favorite movie. The Stephen King story it's based on is good too, but much sadder because... SPOILER ...all of Gordy's friends are dead by the time he's telling the story. Tedd my died in a car accident in high school and Verne died in a fire when he went to college. He also sees Ace once as an adult when Ace is fat and bald.

You girls mention how the movie started after he explains Chris Chambers dying but that newspaper seeing isn't in your video

For me an American generation x this movie was truly the movie about our youth rightfully depicting the way it was and how close boys are as friends that had a lot of influence on us. Even though this takes place in our fathers generation we grew up pretty much the same way. This is such a rite of passage boy movie. It doesn't get the Acclaim that it should. From our generation as a boy this movie is only behind top gun as far as influencing my generation as a young boy.

Spot on....nother gen x here...i humped the tracks to camp out in the boonies....had a tressle similar to the one in this movie too

For an excellent example of how people can change during puberty. Go check Jerry O'Connell in his 20s or today. Jerry is the kind of chunky boy in the blue and white stripped shirt. All 4 of those kids went on to have pretty good acting careers.

RIP River Phoenix aka "Chris"

I've seen this movie 13,576x. One of my early faves

I adore your channel! great react

I still like to use the "do you guys want to go see a dead body?" when I see my friends.

I love this movie. My mom let me watch it when I was really young 😅 Stephen King is my favorite writer now. Actually my screen name in here is a Stephen King book about escaping abuse ❤ All the kids were so great in this movie. Rest In Peace River Phoenix, he was a rare soul from what ppl say about him.

Luv this movie reminds me alot of my group of friends I had as a kid going on adventures and playing cards minus the smoking of course 😄 #homies

11:18 "i'm afraid that the train will come..." it does 🚂

I will always cry to this movie and I love it.

Great reaction ladies.

One of my favorite movies.

🚂 🛤 River Phoenix (Chris) was Joaquin Phoenix's brother. He died 7 yrs later from drug overdose. Jerry O'Connell (Vern) lost his baby fat and is now a great looking actor and happily married to supermodel Rebecca Romjin.

A good one enjoyed the reaction 😊

Definitely in top 3 coming of age movies

I am writing this to help out the homies and this video and this channel with the algorithm ♥️✌️😘😊

Great reaction Lia & Ellie! Especially during the pie eating contest, LOL! 🥧🤢😆

RIP River Phoenix (Chris).

River pheonix would have been such a great actor.

It's based on a section of a Stephen King novel called Different Seasons. Maybe why you got a slightly creepy vibe from it.

Please react to Brother Bear! It's such a good movie and I have been wanting you guys to react to it for so long. It's kind of like Spirit and The Lion King. I know you guys will love it and it's my favorite Disney movie period. It's based on real Inuit culture (Native American) and the storytelling mixed with the real native culture is beautiful.

Yeah your commentary at the end you're basically wanting to say this is a *coming-of-age movie*

I relate to this movie

Those are probably coyotes, like small wolves. Very common in North America.

My favorite steven king movie

One of the best movie ever , I’m looking forward to seeing y’all’s reaction
