Stand by Me
Dir. Rob Reiner, 2025, USA, 1 hour 29 minutes
Cast: Will Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman
Rob Reiner’s Stand by Me remains a timeless coming‑of‑age classic – an evocative journey of four boys chasing adventure and self‑discovery in 1950s Oregon. Now cherished not just for its warmth and nostalgia but as part of the legacy of Reiner, who died tragically last year, the film captures friendship, loss and the bittersweet nature of growing up. With memorable performances and enduring heart, Stand by Me stands as a tribute both to youth and a much-loved filmmaker.
