STAND BY ME (1986) MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING! WOW!

Welcome to our first time watching Stand By Me (1986).
Wow! This is a classic! Based on the Stephen King novella "The Body", screenplay adapted by Bruce A Evans and Raynold Gideon, starring Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, Kiefer Sutherland and Richard Dreyfuss. Directed by Rob Reiner.
We LOVED this and hope you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussion as we watch it for the first time from two different generations (one of us a very long time ago). We both found it nostalgic, humorous, visceral, great fun, sad, happy and simply great. It left the Dad very emotional with a big wet wobbly one, watching it with his son added so many layers to the experience. Upon watching, we now rank this film as one of the all time personal favourite films now. It's a film that becomes ever so more rich when watching at different stages in life.

We hope you enjoy this Reaction Video. When we watched this together, for the Dad the film immediately ascended up the list of favourite films ever. For the son, it’s his favourite of all the films we have done reactions for so far. It’s an amazing piece of work and watching it together was particularly special. Not many films have this effect across generations and also over the decades. This is a re-upload because the first one we uploaded had glitches and we wanted to fix them, as they annoyed us. Since we loved it so much, we also added some more scenes and tightened some of the other cuts. We felt the film deserves this. This is the last of the re-uploads, sorry for any confusion.

[@blizzunt420e]

@GenerationMediaReaction it’s fun watching a movie with you guys.. you should check out the movie nothing but trouble with Chevy Chase.. and then you should watch one of the National Lampoon Christmas vacation or European vacation those are really really funny

A lot of us look forward to hanging out and watching a movie with you guys. It would be nice if you uploaded a little more often.

​@@GenerationMediaReactionwhen you can you should watch FIRE IN THE SKY...I think you will like it.

[@rmcwil398]

The older I get the deeper this movie gets.

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

It's outstanding and hard to express and articulate why. But maybe that's exactly what makes it's so strong.

[@sallyj632]

Same. I didn't understand a lot of it when I was a kid, but I watched because I still enjoyed it back then. With time and age I now find myself relating to so much of it, especially how friendships/relationships just slowly end. It's not because you had a fight or disagreement or anything either. It's just because you drifted apart for no reason other than time passing by.

[@IAMCAVE]

This is the genius of Stephen King and his writing. He remembers what it’s like growing up. The joys, the pains, the growing awareness of the world around you. The fears, from which he created his renown. He didn’t always write horror, but managed to weave it into his stories. Rob Reiner did an excellent job directing as always. Keeping the important elements of the story into the film.

[@cfinley81]

At the end, when adult Gordy steps back and looks at his complete story, I like to imagine Chris' voice in the background: "You're gonna be a great writer someday, Gordy." 😢💔❤️❤️

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

He might even write about’us’ if he gets hard up for material…. When Chris and Gordy are walking the train tracks and their conversation is about being a father, it begins with Gordy asking Chris “Do you think I’m weird?”. As an adult at his screen, his son remarks to his friend “Yeah my Dad’s weird, he gets like that when he’s writing.”

[@flossy7258]

It hits so differently as an adult. And River Phoenix disappearing at the end is especially painful, all that potential lost. From all accounts he was a very kind and gentle person in real life. I remember when he passed, it took the air out of me. Someone I didn't even know. FYI in the RHCPs song "Give it Away" there's a verse abt River. He also appeared in their "Breaking the Girl" video. He and Flea were good friends after meeting on the set of My Own Private Idaho.

[@Youngie761]

I'm from Oregon (U.S.) and visit Brownsville OR. once a month or so for work. Brownsville is where the movie was shot and they have a Stand By Me festival every year. The town still has the charm it does in the movie. They've done a very good job of keeping that small American town feel while embracing the film.

[@vancelubben5300]

When I was in about the 6th Grade, my teacher brought in the movie "Brian's Song". By the end of it, the whole class was crying. This might be a very good time to share it with your son

[@user-pe9gz8si8k]

My teacher brought us “if you could see what I hear.” Same reaction.

[@jtoland2333]

Agreed! Brian's Song is one of the few movies men allow themselves to cry over. I'd also like to see y'all react to other "manly" movies like Tombstone and the origional Roadhouse.

[@missgigglebox748]

This movie just hits harder when you are a parent. While watching this film and the family dynamic that these boys had is just so sad. It's heartbreaking that there are actual kids out there that deal with being abused or feeling unloved by their parents. When you hugged your son, the tears fell because ever child should have that, a loving parent. Great reaction even though you made me crying by tearing up yourself. I've seen others react to this movie but yours definitely hit me differently.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

If you ever watch The Sandlot, a baseball movie about kids, you will get major Stand By Me vibes. It's about friends too, but a little different spin.

[@My2ndnephew]

Oh, man, I've laughed and cried through this film over the years. When you two were watching the leech scene, I couldn't help laughing from my belly, because your faces were exactly what Steven King intended, raw cringe. As a director, Rob Reiner told this story very well. Steven King isn't always translated well from book to film. Good one.

[@genekent2391]

River Phoenix was DeCaprio before DeCaprio was DeCaprio, if that makes sense. He was widely considered that generations best up and coming actor, and had he not died, there may not be a Leonardo DeCaprio, at least not the one we currently recognize. Phoenix was actually Cameron's first choice to play Jack in Titanic. Imagine how different things would be!!

[@builder309]

I salute you, sir! Fathering is hard, thankless, and lonely, but you're doing great. Keep it up. One day it will pay off.

[@zeekutartheimmortal]

I am so glad you are taking the time to watch so many amazing films together. My parents loved exposing me to so many powerful films when I was young in the 80s and 90s. They wanted to be there to explain the good and the bad, strong and the weak, the brave and the cowardly. If something went over my head, they would do their best to help me to understand and see both sides of the story. There is so much worth watching, and so much that can shape our lives.

[@chancel7142]

River Phoenix 😔😔😢😫😪🤧 Such a loss. Gone way too soon. Wil Wheaton is so under rated. He was great in this movie. And I feel a bit of his real life (at the time) came out a little in this performance. Corey Feldman always gives a great performance. He apparently was going through stuff too horrible to mention. 😢 And of course Jerry O'Connell.... So awesome. And can't even go by without mentioning Kiefer Sutherland. A great beginning to a great career. Richard Dreyfuss... A class act always. I can't think of any negative for any of this great cast. Rob Reiner did a phenomenal job directing. Last and certainly not least Stephen King always being an awesome author! Sorry for being long-winded. 😁

[@images_by_geoff]

Such a fantastic film and the pie eating contest scene has always been the part that I remember seeing when I was 12 in 1989. I wasn't allowed to see it so I had to watch it at a friend's house on a sleepover, along with Terminator. Very difficult to see and not fully understand the emotions at 12. So glad you both got to watch this together and talk about it. 💙💛

[@RezaREX]

I don't have a child but I appreciate this reaction showing what parts would hit a father the most. Just glad this movie exists.

[@missymoe5583]

I really enjoyed your reactions to it. You are a very adorable together. I have watched a ton of reaction videos. You two aren't faking or forcing your reactions I like that that they are genuine. I understand how you both feel. This is my favorite film, and as a kid I couldn't comprehend my closest friendships could dissolve or that I could unthinkably loose friends my own age that stayed around so long. The end upset me. In the rearview mirror at 47 with grown children I have stood in as many forms of my previous self up to now that took to get here and it came with a lot of losses (and gains) still, that made me who I am. It takes becoming an adult for it move through you and find out is that things really do happen for no reason sometimes. The film is just as important to see as a kid because you get this narrative of friendship and living life in the golden moment. But for everyone in the audience it displays youth dealing with trauma. That kids could face all these things domestic violence, neglect, PTSD, bullying, & grief, was so unprecedented. It made them people, not just "kids". Which people often forget. What kind of people will they grow up be? I use to jokingly say old soul was just another term for someone introduced to adult things too young. Rob Reiner chose each of these kids based on their personalities in real life so they wouldn't have to "act" too hard. If that says anything about Hollywood

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Thanks for watching. You’re right and when younger I didn’t see all these broader narrative sub-stories in this film: it was just an adventure. Now as an adult, it’s loaded with deep emotional complexity. Outstanding film

[@Jmiranda70]

When choosing the actors for the film Rob Reiner chose boys who had similar personalities to the characters. River had an old Soul, Will Wheaton was shy smart and innocent, Cory had a real messed up childhood in real life and Jerry O’connel was a goofy kid at the time. Kiefer Sutherland who is really nice in real life, kept his distance from the boys and treated them coldly during filming which caused them to actually feel intimidated and feared him which came out genuinely in the film. Rob Reiner has also come out and said that the Chris fade out at the end has taken on a different meaning to him in the years since due to what later happened to River Phoenix. Definitely hits different as an adults. Really enjoy your reaction. I have a son in his early 20’s, and cherished spending time introducing him to films from my young when he was younger and watching his reaction

[@MrPagan777]

Wow! Could see you were fighting tears at the deer scene. Once again, what a great pair you two are

It really is a powerful movie. Nice to be able to watch others experience it for the first time (or first time in a long while). I'm glad you didn't cut out what, to me, is one of the most moving pieces of dialogue in any movie - the comments about losing touch with his friends and how they come in and out of your life.

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@martinmayhew145]

This movie is about Stephen King. The kid who wants to be a writer is actually Stephen King. You aee a lot of these themes in a lot of his books, IT has a similar theme. King uses the same type of characters in IT

[@shamenbilly]

Excellent reaction guys - shed a tear myself

[@user-sy5vv4ze3h]

I love this movie: it’s so well done and hugely nostalgic for me. I grew up in the sixties, in the eastern U.S., but the music, the kids, and their hijinks are exactly right. This is how it was. We never went on an overnight adventure like that, but we played in the woods and went on 5-mile bike rides starting at age 10. It was a different world. The bridge incident really gets me. We had a trestle, only about 50 yards long, but our big dare was to climb down the wooden girders and hold on as a freight train passed overhead. Sometimes they could be 100 cars. I’ve seen every combination of paired reactors, except a parent with a young child. It is wonderful to see you guys share these moments, as I am a big believer in passing on the cultural torch. I’m subscribing. Hard to know what to recommend without knowing what genres you like or what you may have seen already. You can’t go wrong with the three “Chronicles of Narnia” movies (2005-2010), which I think were British productions.

[@belindalopes6774]

Loved the song Stand By me before I read the book/saw the movie (originaly called The Body).

[@ImEricBro]

Two films to suggest: E.T. The Extraterrestrial (1982) and The Last Starfighter (1984). Both are appropriate for your son's age range. The term "hiding" in the context used in the film is from the phrase "tan your hide" which is taken from the term for turning animal skin into leather (tanning). Colloquially here it means to spank on the bottom. In the case of the character in this movie (played by River Phoenix) it implies that his father will spank him severely, usually done using a leather belt. "Hiding" is a very localized term used only in certain regions of the country. Corporal punishment of children by parents is still common in certain areas of the United States, particularly southern and conservative states. Northern and liberal states (the majority of the population) consider it barbaric.

[@DanielbenYishai]

Yes, back in the 1950s, "hiding" would have referred to the use of that tanned hide (leather strap) on the bare hide of the hind-end of the boy - pants down around the ankles. They would even do this in school - "bend over and grab your ankles!" In and old British book from the 1920s I've seen this referred to as "receiving a leathering".

[@user-pe9gz8si8k]

Hiding is a term used to describe being whipped with a leather belt. A belt is made of leather, the “hide” of an animal used to flay your hide. That’s a hiding. Also you hid your tears alone because big boys don’t cry.

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

We do have that expression in England too, my mum used to "give me a hiding" if I swore at school, but she'd use a slipper instead of a belt, my granddad would use a belt but he only ever did that to me once

[@icred4467]

I feel you Dad. I feel you. 😢 I’ve watched this films hundreds of times since I discovered it at 12. I too shared it with my son when he was a young man (about 10)

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

It has risen way up the ranks of favourite films of all time from watching it with my son.

[@sannankhan2112]

Damn I wish I’d have found your channel before you uploaded this! I could’ve told you about how you could’ve uploaded the full length version without any issues because I have done this movie too and the full length version is up and running! Please get back to me for any future movies!

[@mylefteye4180]

Another excellent choice. I must have watched this movie a dozen times or more over the last 38 years.

[@masudashizue777]

I think it's hard to imagine a group of children going off by themselves nowadays, but back then, the world was a much safer place.

[@icreateworlds]

This movie keeps being incredible no matter how many years go by. The ending is brilliant and resonates deep. I was about 15 when it came out , saw it on theaters and now after all these years it’s still an amazing movie. The Blu-ray has fantastic audio commentary. Go get it if you love the movie.

[@isuckatguitar6252]

Loved Stephen King's 1982 novella book, I think all of them were turned into great movies. This one is a timeless film.

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

[@angelfishluva291]

You guys are hitting all the classics!!! Very nice!

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

You know it!

[@DanielbenYishai]

My next film recommendation for you is the 2013 film "The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet". It is a bit dark, but not as dark as "Stand By Me", and also involves a journey and is a "narrated" story. The main protagonist, TS, is 10 years old and the story involves a journey. I feel the film has been underrated, and never had a wide release. That is rather unfortunate as the cinematography is great (though it was originally filmed as 3D), the story is heartfelt, and the acting is fairly solid. Most of the film is rather humorous, with only a couple of times where it is a bit dark and sorrowful. I think you will like it.

[@YorkshiremanReacts26]

The way you explained that the term “hiding” meant “punishment” was a bit vague. I mean these days in the UK, some parents idea of “punishment” is telling their kids they can’t play Fortnite today or turning their wifi connection off half an hour earlier than usual…🙄

[@belindalopes6774]

You have to watch the movie Tsotsi. Golden globe winner and Oscar nominated movie.

[@ismayb754]

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Thank you for watching. Yes I agree, this adaptation is a good example of being potentially better than the book. They’re different mediums of course, but the little changes enhanced the story for Gordie. Also in this book was another adaptation which is better being Shawshank Redemption

Absolutely. Wil Wheaton's delivery of "he hates me" about his father hits like a truck now.

[@Bertoboy41]

I don't know if you actually reacted to this one before "Jaws" but if not, did you bring to the young one's (sorry, idk his name, or yours for that matter) that Richard Dreyfuss (pronounced by him as DRY-fuss) was 'Hooper' in "Jaws"? Another great Dreyfuss movie you both would enjoy is "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (sci-fi, aliens, 1977.)

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Good idea, which is the best ‘first’ Hitchcock do you think ?

[@ajayblake8740]

The Birds is a grand one.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

@@GenerationMediaReaction The one that stands out in my mind as being accessible (as well as resonant in the modern world in a way that it wasn't necessarily when it was originally released) is *The Birds* (1963). Regarding the suggestion of *Rear Window* (1954), I feel moved to mention that a non-Hitchcock film made only five years earlier, *The Window* (1949), has a very similar premise, but features a juvenile protagonist, Bobby Driscoll, later the voice and image of Disney's *Peter Pan* (1953).

[@zedwpd]

@@GenerationMediaReaction Rear Window is the best Hitchcock. But The Birds, Vertigo, Dial M For Murder, North By Northwest, Rope, Psycho, and others are all really good. The best Hitchcock for a first watch is tough, since they all have adult themes. Kids nowadays handle gore better than the romantic/sex stuff so maybe start with The Birds.

I am convinced ACE killed Gordies older brother Dennis, in the so called jeep acident.

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

What do you think about the idea that Ace might have been the one in the restaurant that killed Chris?

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

@@GenerationMediaReaction This seems unlikely to me. Ace wouldn't wait so long for his revenge (and didn't, according to Stephen King's novella), nor would he attack so indirectly in a place with so many witnesses, but this speculation (by the son) was an interesting by-product of Dad pointing out that Chris was the subject of the newspaper article in the prologue, a fact that doesn't register with most first-time viewers until the end. As for the Jeep accident, it's interesting that a Jeep is specified, because that's a military vehicle. It suggests that he might have joined the Army (though I think many Jeeps were also in civilian use by 1959).

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Not really, those titles are set in more harsh environments. There's not much of a British equivalent to Stand By Me to be honest. Which is why it's so special. British films with young people like to have a socio-political edge to them. One film might be Quadrophenia since it depicts a particular scene of the mods, East is East is good.
