Rob Reiner’s nostalgia piece is set over Labor Day weekend, 1959. A quartet of inseparable friends set out in search of a dead body they’ve heard about. The four are: intellectual Gordie (Wil Wheaton), born leader Chris (River Phoenix), emotionally disturbed Teddy (Corey Feldman), and
chubby hanger-on Vern (Jerry O’Connell). The boys’ adventures are coloured by the personal pressures brought to bear on all of them by the adult world. Narrated by Richard Dreyfuss as the grown-up Gordie. An evocative classic that resonates long after.
