A few months ago I came across on old LP of this title in a second hand store. It got me thinking that its been a very long time since I watched the actual movie, so with along with another blu-ray ordered this one as well through amazon.
To be honest, I never thought a great deal about this film in the past, until I watched this 25th anniversary blu-ray edition last night.
There are some films that as we know, come and go with time and can seem a bit dated, but "Stand By Me" is not one of them, and holds up really well.
The story, the cast, the acting, the music is perfect and is so rare these days to come across, it really makes viewing it through a VP a real pleasure.
The quality of this anniversary release, both with picture and DTS 5:1 sound by Sony is excellent. Putting aside that it is a "R" rated film due to the language, its really an excellent film and as such would highly recommend this blu-ray release.
This morning I watched the exclusive 25 years later "Picture-in-Picture" commentary with Director Rob Reiner and actors Wil Wheton and Cory Feldman, which gives a fasinating insight to the film.
