    An instant classic. If you've never seen this and call yourself a movie goer, then you need to get your ass in gear and watch a piece of film history. Yet, its sad to look back and realize what has become of all the potential from this movie. An awesome adventure of four boys who are on a path to seek a local boy's dead body. And all the while they grow up to be young men.

    I think for my generation, sets the standard for buddy films. Saw a little and a lot of my neighborhood friends.

    Anybody who knows me probably knows that I'm a total 80's movie freak. This movie has great writing and acting. Another one of my favorites.

    This Was Probably One Of the Weirdest Movies I have Ever Seen. No Of Course there Wasn't Mass Murders Running Around and Chopping People's Heads But, It was Def. Intense. It Showed How Much Friends Help Get You Through Life One Tiny Step At a Time. I Know Angelina and Stevie Keep Me Going By Just Being there For Me Every Day.

    It's apparently one of the best movies based on a Stephen King book, so I'll probably see it sometime.

    Great film that gives us a story of friendship and hardships. Interesting to see a Stephen King film that isn't a horror/mystery. Definitely Jerry O'Connell's best movie (unfortunately enough for him...)

    A sweet coming-of-age story, involving four 12-year old boys, a dead body and an awesome Kiefer Sutherland (as the bully). The movie is all about the friendship between these boys and how it was the best/most memorable time of their life. The movie is shot in a narrative way, which works perfectly in this case. The child actors (one of them the late River Phoenix) are splendid. Truly believable performances. Some people will probably like this movie more than others, but its generally hard to dislike it. I might had consider it a classic if I hadn't seen a bunch of similar films before this one. For me, it was an enjoyable trip, but a few miles short of a classic.

    It Was Probably One of the Strangest Movies I have ever Seen. Even though it doesn't display Mass Murders Chopping People's heads Off, It shows how much Friends Mean and How they help you Take Each Tiny Step At a Time. I Know I Get Through My Life Day By Day with knowing the Fact Stevie and Angelina are there With Me.

    I really enjoyed this & I think it's the best adaptation of a Stephen King story along with The Shawshank Redemption, The Cast are just amazing,all of them specially Corey Feldman and the music score is beautiful

    Nada mejor que un viaje con los amigos para descubrir el verdadero significado de la amistad, para describir lo que todos sabían, que por desgracia, dentro de unos años las cosas ya no serán las mismas porque serán mayores, aun estando en el mismo pueblo.

    This movie had a lot of similarities with The Goonies, which was made one year before and also stared Corey Feldman. I love The Goonies and I most certainly loved this one too.

    No matter how many years pass, this movie still has the same effect on me. A great story about boyhood, and the bonds we make while we are young. It's both a tragic and an inspiring film that will always stand the test of time.

    Amazing. Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern. The perfect group. Best friends. They all have a bad home life. This movie is laugh-out-loud, and also provides a great story.

    One of my all time Stephen King adaptations! All of the kids in this flick went on to become megastars! Check out River Phoenix....too bad he's gone! This film defines the trials and tribulations of pre-teen America! Lots of warmth and sadness.

    Really well acted and realistic. The characters were all unique and the outcome of finding the body was fantastic.
