I love the movie, Stand By Me, directed by Rob Reiner, taken from the book, The Body by Stephen King. King's story is solid, but it came alive when made into the movie. It crystallizes for me what a good film should be. A story within a story that takes you on a journey. Only a few special effects are needed, and you can't go wrong with the soundtrack. I also have some great memories of watching the movie with my sons, who are all grown up now. I'm sure this enters into it.

I love that—something about the memories associated with it that also make it special, but the story still stands on its own!
So true!
