Coming of Age Classic

Marking forty years since the release of the coming-of-age classic, Stand By Me stars Wil Wheaton (Gordie LaChance), Corey Feldman (Teddy Duchamp) and Jerry O'Connell (Vern Tessio) host a screening of the movie followed by a Q&A, with behind the scenes stories and fascinating anecdotes from their time on the set! The influential 1986 film directed by the late Rob Reiner went on to inspire a generation, with many 80s kids considering it a cultural touchstone and the film being referenced in countless films, TV and other media since, even including the Pokemon video games. 

Based on a Stephen King book, the film follows four young pals who head out into the wilderness of Oregon to find the body of a boy who was missing. Eventually becoming a poignant rite of passage about the complexities of growing up, the film was praised for its exploration of the nature of intense childhood friendships, and something which resonated with all who saw it at the time. Relive the classic with the stars who helped to make it!
