So, Stacie and I have just finished watching a movie called Stand By Me. It came out in 1968. I usually don't like the older flicks, but this one was pretty great. Basically, it's about a group of boys that have a plan to find a missing body and become famous. Along the way, they realize things not only about themselves, but about each other, and finally reach a destination that isn't at all how they imagined. Now, I'm not going into anymore detail, as that would spoil the story that you need to see for yourself! But, do you know what this movie makes me think about? It makes me think about the old days when nothing really mattered, and friends were always by your side. As said in the closing line, "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve;" Many words spoken in this movie are true, and I hold them close to heart. There's not many films out there anymore that are quite like this one.

I laughed. I cried. I loved it. It's one of those thins you could watch a million times and never be tired of. I guess, for me, it's just an instant classic; not to mention all of the epic quotes I now can't shake out of my mind ("...Seven cents, Vern?"), but I guess they're all just inside jokes now!

I've also discovered that this movie is based off a book! It's called The Body by Stephen King. Now, I may not be all that into books, but you know what? I think I feel like reading now!
