September 22, 2009A great film from the 80's, King's story has become something of a cult classic. It's not dated at all unlike other similar films of the time, the true test of a great film.

September 13, 2009Perhaps more so than any other movie I've ever seen, I can relate to and identify with this film. With just a few minor script changes you'd have a pretty accurate encapsulation of my childhood.
In case you haven't seen it yet, it's the story of four boys who set out on a weeke...( read more) -
July 27, 2009I find it hard to comment on this film without simply repeating what has already been said. It's not that I can't think of anything original, but that others seem to have felt the exact same emotions as I did when watching this film.
I saw this movie when I was about 12, 13, may...( read more) -

Chris: Definitely.
Gordie: No man, seriously. Am I weird?
Chris: Yeah, but so what? Everybody's weird.

November 18, 2009Probably one of the best collections of acting from pre-teen actors. The characters are so emotionally driven and fleshed out, it is impossible to not love this movie.

July 6, 2008I think this is possibly THE best coming of age movie/story ever made.
The first time i watched this film, i was fourteen. Its moved me in a such a way that i find myself quoting it and thinking about it whenever i'm with my friends.
Never has a movie moved me as much as this, made me cry and feel a gut-wrenching longing to just watch it all over again. The cast are a perfect fit, and this is my favourite movie of all time. No doubt about it.
'I never had any friends later on like the ones i had when i was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?'

River Pheonix is the best actor, and I'm terribly sad that a gem like him was lost to something as stupid as drugs.
Still, you must watch this movie! Amazing in every way! -
