That last summer before puberty throws everything into chaos. I love how Stephen King has written stories in every type of genre there is Horror, Supernatural, Suspense, Crime, Science Fiction, Drama, Romance, True Story, Fantasy and who knows how many more
Leaving behind the age of innocence, everyone will remember a friend or friends who cannot be replaced. Friendships which cannot be regained. Thanks, ladies, That was nice. 💙
Of all of the Stephen King books that have been made into movies (some great, some good, and some really horrible), the three that stand out as the best, to me, are (The Body) Stand By Me, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile. I’m glad you finally got around to seeing this one.
The Body and Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (note that there is no "the" in that title) are stories in the same book -- Different Seasons -- along with Apt Pupil (which was made into a movie) and The Breathing Method (which was not).
This is one of my favorite movies to watch when it flips on the channels every so often movie channels Glad you ladies enjoyed it The plot twist at the end was freaking crazy for each character such an awesome story about five friends yeah this movie some people need to see at least once
There is no plot twist in the movie. If you think him announcing that Chris died is a plot twist, you should look at the newspaper adult Gordie is reading in the beginning.
Even though the four boys were in four different families and were raised different. The friendship was real and pure. Nobody should ever underestimate the power of a true friendship...
Great movie. This movie is always kind of sad considering Reaver Phonix died in real life. Another great kid adventure movie is Flight Of The Navigator . A great coming of age movie (With older people not kids) no one reacted to is Big Wednesday. Also another Rob Riener great movie is When Harry Met Sally.
In terms of its overall vibe, the movie that most reminds me of this one is BLESS THE BEASTS AND CHILDREN (1971). Its soundtrack was the original source of the music that later became known as "Nadja's Theme."
Six years later, River Phoenix (Chris Chambers) would die. I think I recall it was a drug overdose. From a talented family, Chris' brother Joaquin became a superstar actor in such films as Gladiator (2000), brilliantly playing the villain and the lead role of real life singer, Johnny Cash in Walk the Line (2004) for which he received an Academy Award nomination. Watching this film, Stand by Me, after River Phoenix's death can be a very emotional experience, especially if watched in late summer around Labor Day. 😶
Launched the careers of a few young actors in this movie. Joachim Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Cory Feldman, Kiefer Sutherland. Another movie along these same lines is The Outsiders with very young actors Tom Cruse, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Emilio Esteves, Ralph Macchio, and Dianne Lane. Great movie. Recommend you watch.
It’s a coming of age movie where a group of boys come together & go on an adventure. During the adventure they learn from each other & teach each other real life lessons & grow from the experiences. It’s a tale as old as time. My friends & I biked everywhere growing up & doing dangerous & stupid stuff during the summers. Any young boys could relate to this, but probably not as much today sadly.
Pretty much... while we didnt go looking for a dead body or had psycho bullies, life for me and the other neighborhood boys in the 80's could relate to this movie (that leech part in particular lol) and the Goonies. This is a pretty accurate and id say timeless look at how a group of boys that age act, think and talk amongst themselves. Granted... as you say, might be different now days. Was still the same in the 90's as a teen, but I still think the inner mind of a young man hasnt changed much for 1000 years lol.
Great reaction video about a really good and deep movie. Sadly River Phoenix just as his character (Chris) passed away far to young (23) in a drugoverdose back in -93. You girls should really watch his best perfomance. Its in a indiemovie called "My Own Private Idaho" directed by Gus Van Sant. There hes playing against one of his best friends, Keanu Reeves!
I remember back in 2008 I took Film Education as an elective cause everyone in school said you get to watch movies for assignments. To my surprise this was the first film our teacher presented to us and after watching it our class grew closer as the years went on. Eventually we all graduated moved to highschool still anytime we saw each other we'd quote this film or simply take the time to talk about what was going on at home before class. It wasn't just some social hierarchy where you were left out we saw each other as human beings and I will always love this film for teaching us that at a young age. 🧠
River Phoenix, was going to be the next huge Hollywood star. He OD'd a few years after this, brother of Juaquin Phoenix. Narrator is Richard Dreyfuss, in Jaws! Cory Feldman And Kieffer Sutherland did Lost Boys, right after this!!😮😮
I met the narrator and guy on the computer in 8th grade on a class trip to Washigton D.C. Hes Richard Dreyfus and played the Oceanographer Cooper in Jaws. Totally down to Earth, cool guy. He was doing a documentary for the History Channel, wound up chatting with 8 of us for nearly an hour.
Lia & Ellie All of these kids actors are still acting today except River Phoenix who died at the age of 23 in 1993. Will Wheaton aka Gordie also starred as Wesley Crusher of Star Trek: Next Generation. Corey Feldman aka Teddy has been in movies from the Goonies and Lost Boys with Kiefer Sutherland aka Ace. Jerry O'Connell aka Vern has also been in a lot of movies too. Phoenix had possible stellar career before his sudden death. Phoenix played young Indiana Jones of the movie, Indiana Jones and Last Crusade.
Funny thing, in the Big Bang Theory, Wil Wheaton played himself and Jerry O’Connell was Sheldon’s brother George. In the season 11 finale with Sheldon and Amy’s wedding they were both there.
Lovely ladies, I think all your viewers would really enjoy watching your reaction to the movie “Million Dollar Baby,” starring Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Hilary Swank! It’s a terrific 2005 film with iconic actors, including a strong female leading character, that all of the Homies should see - PLEASE do!
My brother and used to go hiking in the hills north of Boise, Idaho just north of Hilll rd, in the summer of 1959 we found a couple old abandoned houses that used 1930's and 1940's True Detective magazines for wallpaper. We went to the house's many times to read the wallpaper, I was 12 my brother was 14
Ellie, you and Mich should finish the Indiana Jones series, as the last one comes out in June, and also to see River Phoenix again in one of his last roles. You saw his younger brother Joaquin in Joker and Gladiator.
In the book, Gordie tells us that Vern tragically died in a house fire that occurred at a party in 1966, six years after the story's events. Teddy died in a car accident near Harlow, Maine in 1971 or 1972, making DuChamp around 23 years old at the time of his death. Chris of course dies after being stabbed after trying to break up a fight.
I was about nine years old when I first watched this movie I can relate to Gordy I wanted to become a writer. I wrote a lot of short stories when I was in the fifth grade that was set around the town of Castlerock I even wrote a zombie comedy set in 1950s,
This is my favorite movie. The Stephen King story it's based on is good too, but much sadder because... SPOILER ...all of Gordy's friends are dead by the time he's telling the story. Tedd my died in a car accident in high school and Verne died in a fire when he went to college. He also sees Ace once as an adult when Ace is fat and bald.
A lot of people die trespassing on rail bridges like that. In Florida alone 75 people have died over the last 4 years. Lachance is meant to be a stand in for Stephen King, the writer, when he wrote the inspiration for the Movie "The body"
For me an American generation x this movie was truly the movie about our youth rightfully depicting the way it was and how close boys are as friends that had a lot of influence on us. Even though this takes place in our fathers generation we grew up pretty much the same way. This is such a rite of passage boy movie. It doesn't get the Acclaim that it should. From our generation as a boy this movie is only behind top gun as far as influencing my generation as a young boy.
I love this movie. My mom let me watch it when I was really young 😅 Stephen King is my favorite writer now. Actually my screen name in here is a Stephen King book about escaping abuse ❤ All the kids were so great in this movie. Rest In Peace River Phoenix, he was a rare soul from what ppl say about him.
For an excellent example of how people can change during puberty. Go check Jerry O'Connell in his 20s or today. Jerry is the kind of chunky boy in the blue and white stripped shirt. All 4 of those kids went on to have pretty good acting careers.
Love your reactions, guys. Your videos are great. Here are some movies you shouldn't miss. Some of them are classic. Some are under viewed or underrated. Please take note and consider them for the future. I'm sure you would like them ❤ 1. Cloverfield (2008) 2. Thelma and louise (1991) 3. The railway man (2013) 4. Carlito's way (1993) 5. The girl with the dragon tattoo (2011 US version) 6. The shape of water (2017) 7. 12 years a slave (2013) 8. Chronicle (2012) 9. Born on the fourth of july (1989) 10. Gangs of new york (2002) 11. The thing (1982) 12. No country for old men (2007) 13. Artificial intelligence (2001) 14. Unbreakable (2000) 15. Beast (2022) 16. Rain man (1988) 17. The shawshank redemption (1994) 18. Splice (2009) 19. The usual suspects (1995) 20. Cape Fear (1991) Oh, and one more LOL 21. Into the wild (2007) Thanks.
🚂 🛤 River Phoenix (Chris) was Joaquin Phoenix's brother. He died 7 yrs later from drug overdose. Jerry O'Connell (Vern) lost his baby fat and is now a great looking actor and happily married to supermodel Rebecca Romjin.
Very lovely history of these little young boys; this video reminds me a song from Avicii it calls hey brother, the story and the song are the same, fist time for me watching this and I love it a lot . 🥰 🚶🏼♂️🛤
Please react to Brother Bear! It's such a good movie and I have been wanting you guys to react to it for so long. It's kind of like Spirit and The Lion King. I know you guys will love it and it's my favorite Disney movie period. It's based on real Inuit culture (Native American) and the storytelling mixed with the real native culture is beautiful.
This is a movie everyone should see at least once.
I say the same about *Saving Private Ryan*
Same with THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Definitely
One of the greatest coming of age films of all time.
i would say the best one. which is better in youre opinion?
My favourite movie of all time which everyone has their opinion on theres
That last summer before puberty throws everything into chaos. I love how Stephen King has written stories in every type of genre there is Horror, Supernatural, Suspense, Crime, Science Fiction, Drama, Romance, True Story, Fantasy and who knows how many more
I can't think of any other writer....that has made so many great movies
He said in an interview that he also wrote some porn stories who tried to sell in the late 60's.
I saw this movie in the theatre when I was 14. A very simple story even for the time and I loved it
Leaving behind the age of innocence,
everyone will remember a friend or friends who cannot be replaced. Friendships which cannot be regained.
Thanks, ladies,
That was nice. 💙

I liked also the Myst, still not at the level of these ones
But seriously... Beautiful movie. I love it! Classic bullying but kids stand out! And the parents with the kids... Heartbroken but in the end, amazing
This movie hits so many of our childhood memories
This is one of my favorite movies to watch when it flips on the channels every so often movie channels Glad you ladies enjoyed it The plot twist at the end was freaking crazy for each character such an awesome story about five friends yeah this movie some people need to see at least once

8 years after filming, 7 years after release.
15:43 I have a question. When will The Homies have a pie eating contest like the one in the movie?
Launched the careers of a few young actors in this movie. Joachim Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Cory Feldman, Kiefer Sutherland. Another movie along these same lines is The Outsiders with very young actors Tom Cruse, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Emilio Esteves, Ralph Macchio, and Dianne Lane. Great movie.

Sorry. Meant River Phoenix, brother of Joachim.

R.I.P. River Phoenix! 😢🥺😭💔
He's alive
The howling in the woods was a pack of coyotes. They're kinda like halfway between foxes and wolves.
Great Reaction! Stand by Me is probably the best coming of age movie ever made. Great character piece. Hope Michelle and Vicki react to it someday.
I met the narrator and guy on the computer in 8th grade on a class trip to Washigton D.C. Hes Richard Dreyfus and played the Oceanographer Cooper in Jaws.
Totally down to Earth, cool guy. He was doing a documentary for the History Channel, wound up chatting with 8 of us for nearly an hour.
thats so cool youre lucky

Mr King lives 2 1/4 hours from my home; I’ve driven right by it several times 😊

These kids are now old enough to be your dads
11:18 "i'm afraid that the train will come..."
it does 🚂

this film really makes me cry every single time

Spot on....nother gen x here...i humped the tracks to camp out in the boonies....had a tressle similar to the one in this movie too
The howling sounds were coyote howls
There were moments in this movie, Chris Chambers looked more grown up than most grown-ups.
I love this movie. My mom let me watch it when I was really young 😅 Stephen King is my favorite writer now. Actually my screen name in here is a Stephen King book about escaping abuse ❤ All the kids were so great in this movie. Rest In Peace River Phoenix, he was a rare soul from what ppl say about him.

My favourite movie and I named my two dogs Lachance & Chambers ❤ They are so sweet boys that made a huge amazing part to my family
You girls mention how the movie started after he explains Chris Chambers dying but that newspaper seeing isn't in your video
Ellie's favorite scene " THE BARF-A-RAMA"
Crazy how river Phoenix was actually 17 years old in this movie and yet he still looked like a child
I still like to use the "do you guys want to go see a dead body?" when I see my friends.

🚂 🛤 River Phoenix (Chris) was Joaquin Phoenix's brother. He died 7 yrs later from drug overdose. Jerry O'Connell (Vern) lost his baby fat and is now a great looking actor and happily married to supermodel Rebecca Romjin.
Another great Steven King's adaptation
The leeches... Omg! Sometimes I hate nature! It got on his... Omg that's a boy's nightmare
Another great "coming of age" movie is Breaking Away (Best Screenplay, 1979)
Definitely in top 3 coming of age movies
Very lovely history of these little young boys; this video reminds me a song from Avicii it calls hey brother, the story and the song are the same, fist time for me watching this and I love it a lot . 🥰 🚶🏼♂️🛤
One of my favorite movies.
It's based on a section of a Stephen King novel called Different Seasons. Maybe why you got a slightly creepy vibe from it.
First time hearing about it was from a Family Guy episode, but I would watch the real movie myself.... Now I love it
#RIPRiverPhoenix
One of the best movie ever , I’m looking forward to seeing y’all’s reaction
River pheonix would have been such a great actor.
RIP River Phoenix (Chris).
11:57 train 🚂
There is my two favorite women, though I still love beautiful Vicky and beautiful Michelle.
Those are probably coyotes, like small wolves. Very common in North America.
08:30 Was it a burp? Or the voice of the pazuzu?
Unfornately River Phoenix is not with us for a long time ! His legacy still living .
Great reaction Lia & Ellie! Especially during the pie eating contest, LOL! 🥧🤢😆
I am writing this to help out the homies and this video and this channel with the algorithm ♥️✌️😘😊
However, you two women are meant for each other because you both are extremely beautiful human beings inside and out.
Please react to Brother Bear! It's such a good movie and I have been wanting you guys to react to it for so long. It's kind of like Spirit and The Lion King. I know you guys will love it and it's my favorite Disney movie period. It's based on real Inuit culture (Native American) and the storytelling mixed with the real native culture is beautiful.
You guys should react to The Outsiders (1983)
The Abyss
Love me some Ellie. More Ellie please.
Yeah your commentary at the end you're basically wanting to say this is a *coming-of-age movie*
Great reaction ladies.
In the book he talks about how the leach left the scar on his ball sack.
Excellent reaction 👏👏
Now, -All- the Homies need to watch a Movie called, "Now & Then."
Happy Thoughts 😊
Coyote. . . They are coyotes
