It had been over a decade since I last watched SBM. The memories came flooding back from the outset. Dir. Rob Reiner understands the purity of youth; his pace can take the viewer back in time to their own childhood, on a wave of warm nostalgia that's able to stir feelings both happy and sad. It's a timeless piece of cinema that'll never cease being relevant to almost everyone.

I love this film so much.
Saw it first when I was 11 or 12. It made such an impact on who and what I am today.
Was my introduction to Stephen King too.
Luckily it was this one, otherwise I might have missed some of the golden stories he did write buried underneath the piles and piles of crap he mostly does.
I thought I’d be adding some stuff in comments to an existing post. When I saw it wasn’t already Nutted, I got nervous! How can I do it justice…? I think I failed.
I had a River Phoenix double bill. He was a fantastic actor.

An all too familiar feeling.
