65. Stand by Me - All those kids were incredible in that movie

Sep 2018

I also loved Stat Trek NG but I think Wesley was supposed to come off as a smug brat.

And regarding Stand by Me again. River Phoenix's self destruction was a loss to the world. He would have been an actor with huge box office appeal.
