“Stand by Me”: The Film and Its Stars 40 Years Later
Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall, March 13
The wistful coming-of-age tale “Stand by Me” was formative for many viewers upon its 1986 release. One of the most atypical Stephen King adaptations — even if it does hinge on a quest to find a dead body — the drama was an Oscar nominee, but more vitally, a VHS staple. To celebrate its ruby anniversary, watch the film then see stars Jerry O’Connell, Corey Feldman, and Wil Wheaton in conversation.
