    80s coming of age movies just had a different feel to them. No cgi, on locations rather than just on a sound stage, narrations, just magical.

    This movie was an 80's nostalgic look back into the world of 1950's childhood, and now we nostalgically look back at movies from the 1980's as part of our childhood. I often wonder if 30-40 years from now, people will be looking at old TH-cam videos and nostalgically remember this time.

    In spite of how tough they are supposed to be, boys, especially at that age are very fragile. I love this movie, because it emphasizes that fact; and also, that as time passes, the worlds in which we were raised slowly fade into memory. Beautiful evocation of emotion without excess. Plus that score. Perfect.

    Brilliant! One of my favorite memories as a kid is sneaking downstairs, army crawling by the door and couch in family room, peaked around the corner and dad is asleep. That famous HBO intro started indicating a new movie is coming up and it’s probably midnight. I watched every second of this movie and loved it as I was the kid that could leave the house and just explore with or without friends. Those were great memories to bring back when I saw this in my feed. Thank you.

    This is one of my all time favorite films!!! My Mom found it on DVD at Dollar General of all places and it became an instant favorite!!! It is sad that most of what you see in the film is no longer there. It is also sad that River Phoenix is gone. I see him being one of today's biggest name actors. Also legendary. His star faded way too soon!!!

      Turned out along with Corey Feldman, Will Wheaton was wrestling with his own demons at the time. He revealed in recent years that he was sort of forced into acting by his parents and and suffered emotional abuse by his parents . He did love his time on the set of SBM though for the most part. But the stardom it brought him made the emotional abuse worse. A movie he did shortly after SBM called The Curse was a horrible experience according to him. He has been estranged from his parents for years as I understand it.

      @@adamn7516 It does suck knowing what some of these child actors were put through to make movies that brought us so much enjoyment.
      I loved Will Wheaton's character in this. I felt so awful for in that one emotional scene at the end by the campfire.
      Death is tragic, and it is sad enough when an adult wishes they were dead. But your heart really breaks when you hear a kid say it.
      You kind of have to wonder, if you are familiar with "method acting" how much of their real demons were be channeled in some of these scenes.

    I was 22 years old in 1986 so I didn’t see stand by me until about ten years later with my two sons. I fell in love with that movie when viewing it with my kids. Eventually I purchased a vcr tape of that movie and broke every record of viewing a movie. This movie touched me spiritually not to sound like a kook. You guys presented this Stand By Me documentary very well! Thank you for showing and producing this. You handled this with the tenderness that this movie deserved.

    Today's kids wouldn't know what to do with themselves if you take their phone or laptop away for an hour, they just go catatonic, a state of shock. When I was a kid we went on adventures just like this, usually we rode our bikes, took us farther. We'd sneak out at 4am to bike 15 miles to Lockport to go fishing at the dam or out to the pits near the garbage dump, sometimes we'd just dig around the trash heaps for hours, once we found dozens of garbage bags full of adult mags, sold them for $1 each at school until we were caught, get home at dinner and the parental units wouldn't even ask where we were, they just knew. Being a kid in the days before the internet was so freeing.

    It’s surreal how much I relate with this movie. My older brother died when I was 11 years old and dealt with my parents in a major depression. My best friend at the time was so similar to the character river phoenix played with how he was always there to both get into trouble with and stick up for me when I needed it. Fast forward 20+ years and I still get weirded out by the similarities.

    I don't know about you, but this accurately depicts a Generation X childhood. The only thing missing are the BMX or mountain bikes. We'd go on little bike rides to malls, hang out at the arcade, or go through the local countryside. Today's kids aren't allowed to go outside!

    My friends and I had a treehouse in the early 80s, lots of kids did. There was a forest behind our townhome complex in a small town in Manitoba, there were a couple dozen treehouses in various states scattered around. Kids don't build treehouses anymore, to busy building them in Fortnight and Minecraft. They go through a lot of trouble to build things in games and can't even enjoy them for real, kinda feel bad for kids today who'll grow up never having the pleasure of building their own treehouse or even going outdoors for an hour a day to move their limbs around. Humanity is beginning to atrophy.

Some of these channels have thousands of Patrons sending $5-$100 a month to "help make better videos", production value stays the same but now they're all driving brand new sports cars and buying new homes, going on fancy vacations while the people supporting them are complaining about the price of gas and eggs.

    I love this movie but it always fills me with sadness. It starts of with my wasted life then onto theirs. The horrifying reality of 80s child actors. Some survived, some didn't.
    I always break down at the end of this movie. It's hard.

    The attention to detail here is 2nd to none. I loved this 80s film and was great to reminisce back to pre CGI days. A lot of work must of gone into making this. Keep up the good work, it’s outstanding👏

    It's crazy with the treehouse.....you can see it right away with the branches....too bad they didn't keep it up,sob
    How time has changed with these kids.....R.I.P River Phoenix. For me, it's like another lifetime ago.
    It's always nice when you have such perfect weather to film a video.
    Blowing the dandelion Jessica, I remember when I was a kid I made the mistake of having it too close to my mouth. I deeply inhaled by my mouth in the hopes I could really, really blow hard out.....I ended up inhaling it all in my mouthI did eat it, lol
    This is a great movie, but I always found it brought sadness to me......youth, discovery, adventure, emotion, all described in the movie as a memory of the past of what once was. People of our past now just a memory.
    I loved that railway bridge....it was super cool to see. With it closed off, I might have been tempted to walk it, but I'm not good with heights??
    It was great that there were still remnants left of that water tower
    As a kid, that leach scene actually happened to me, and yes, the leach was in the exact same area as it was with Gordy. I was a kid swimming in an area known for leaches (or what I called, bloodsuckers), and when that leach was discovered, I friggin screamed
    As always, a great video/story
    Happy Halloween🎃🎃🎃🎃

    Well done Michael and Jessica! I worked in a movie theatre when Stand By Me had its first run in 1986 and it clicked with me right away. I grew up in the Northern Ky area and my friends and I would always walk the railroad tracks when we were the same age as the boys in the movie. I've shared Stand By Me with my son, now also 12yrs old, so it holds alot of meaning to me. Your approach to every video you do is outstanding. The efforts to share locations with us, your respect to the current landowners and your heartfelt emotions are what makes your Filming Location videos stand above the rest. I've mentioned your videos to several friends of mine that also worked in the theatres, being fans of the "back stories" and how they're made. You've made me a fan!

    I watched this movie the first time on VHS. I was in Pagosa Springs CO and there was no cable or satellite. All we had was a VCR for days when the weather was bad. The older family spent the entire summer up there and us kids would spend a couple weeks or so. We spent more time on the lake or in the trees. We were like these kids in a way, minus the dead body. Lol! I love this movie. It brings back so many great memories.

    Great job Michael and Jessica! I think you captured the essence and spirit of this movie as you went along your own journey and adventure finding these locations. I always get transported back to the age of about 12 watching this movie, as it reminds me of the friends, adventures, care free spirit and optimistic attitude I had at that age. It must of felt really cool actually finding these iconic locations.

    Great Video as usual. Back in 2014 my band was on tour. I demanded we stop by this town because it was only 10 mins off the main highway on I-5. When we drove down the main strip in our tour van i screamed out the window a bunch of time "My dad stormed the beaches or Normandy!!" Some Harley bikers weren't impressed and flipped us off. I asked the drummer of the band to slow down at the bikers and asked "Where is Eye-Ball Chambers??" they stood up aggressively and we prompt left. Good times
