80s coming of age movies just had a different feel to them. No cgi, on locations rather than just on a sound stage, narrations, just magical.

Michael and Jessica, NO ONE does movie locations better than you both. Absolutely loved this video. Ty for all the time and effort you put into this to bring it to us..much appreciated!!😄😄

こんにちは。 私は日本人です。 昔からこの映画が大好きで今まで何回も観ました。 あの一番印象的な橋が、まだ残っていることが本当に嬉しいです！ いつか訪ねてみたいと思っていましたが私ももうすっかり年を取ってしまって 無理になってしまいました。 今回このような素晴らしい動画を見させて頂いた貴方に感謝しています。 ありがとう！

Such a powerfull film. I'm 40 and this movie still literally moves me to tears.

This has always been and still is my FAVORITE movie growing up. My great grama would babysit me & I would watch this movie prob 5 times a day when i was little. When she passed away I put this movie in with her casket as a finale goodbye. Thanks for doing this video. R.I.P River Phoenix, he was my 1st crush growing up ❤❤

Such a great movie. I was 13 seeing it in the theater and I'm now a few months from turning 50. Interesting to see what it all looks like now. All those memorable scenes.

This movie was an 80's nostalgic look back into the world of 1950's childhood, and now we nostalgically look back at movies from the 1980's as part of our childhood. I often wonder if 30-40 years from now, people will be looking at old KZfaq videos and nostalgically remember this time.

It was an awesome movie. So sad that River Phoenix is not around anymore. Rip Rivers Phoenix you well always be within our heart. Your one of a kind legend.

I loved how Boyz N Da Hood uses the Dead body concept from this movie.

The trains black smoke quietly rising from behind those trees while they cross the bridge was one of the most terrifying images of my childhood.

I love films that can make you feel nostalgic for a time period you never lived through.

I was 22 years old in 1986 so I didn’t see stand by me until about ten years later with my two sons. I fell in love with that movie when viewing it with my kids. Eventually I purchased a vcr tape of that movie and broke every record of viewing a movie. This movie touched me spiritually not to sound like a kook. You guys presented this Stand By Me documentary very well! Thank you for showing and producing this. You handled this with the tenderness that this movie deserved.

In spite of how tough they are supposed to be, boys, especially at that age are very fragile. I love this movie, because it emphasizes that fact; and also, that as time passes, the worlds in which we were raised slowly fade into memory. Beautiful evocation of emotion without excess. Plus that score. Perfect.

This was such a great movie. It is pretty sad, but also meaningful because each of the kids has demons they wrestle with, and they are some pretty serious ones.

I was 12 when I saw this in theaters back in '86.... Being the same age as the characters really made it feel more personal for me. It had a huge impact....I still love it to this day. Takes me right back to being a kid....It really is an American classic.

Classic movie, definitely in my top 10 of all time.

This is one of my all time favorite films!!! My Mom found it on DVD at Dollar General of all places and it became an instant favorite!!! It is sad that most of what you see in the film is no longer there. It is also sad that River Phoenix is gone. I see him being one of today's biggest name actors. Also legendary. His star faded way too soon!!!

This was a bittersweet video for me. I love Stand By Me growing up and still love it to this day. Seeing how a lot of the places really hasn't changed much is pretty great to see.

Thank you Michael and Jessica for creating this amazing content! Stand By Me is one of my favourite films and as I live in the UK you've shown me locations of the film Ive never seen on other videos so thank you for the time and effort and research you put in. It really is appreciated!!!! Please keep up the great work guys, your content is just Awsome!

I always tell my kids that SBM is exactly how I grew up minus the dead body. We all love it. Timeless classic

This one of my favorite movies of all time, and I was wondering if you guys would ever do a Grimm Life adventure on it. I saw this twice in the theater back in 1986, when I was ten, going on eleven years old. Not too much younger than the kids in the film. I don't know about you, but this accurately depicts a Generation X childhood. The only thing missing are the BMX or mountain bikes. We'd go on little bike rides to malls, hang out at the arcade, or go through the local countryside. Today's kids aren't allowed to go outside!

I'm watching this again for the 3rd time, and I'm sure there will be a 4th and a 5th. I've seen filming location videos for Stand By Me before, and they are very good, but nothing compares to this. So much heart is put into this. You can just hear the excitement and passion in Michael's voice. I guess he loved this movie growing up as much as I did..

I was 10 years old when this film came out and it was a staple of my childhood in the 1980's.. the greatest decade a kid could have in the Steel City. Amazing job to both of you! Pittsburgh proud my friend.

45:00 Fun fact: the penny was covered up when the crosswalk was overlaid in 2016, but uncovered again after some public outcry!

One of my all-time favourite movies, me and my friends could act the whole dialogue of this movie in the early neinties, and looked very much like Gordie when I was young😆

I lived in Grants Pass for a while and I was struck by how beautiful the cemeteries were, and in fall they looked like something straight out of an old spooky movie, complete with crooked old trees and rod iron fences and low-lying fog and headstones of every shape and size. Thanks you two for making this video. I really liked it alot 💀

SBM has such a special place in my heart. My first 'love' was River and I watched this film over a hundred times. I haven't watched it in at least a decade and could prolly still quote it word for word. Thanks for this. The loss of River is still felt.

Thank you guys so much for all the hard work you did on this video, Stand By Me definitely deserves it!

Oregon Trail was the most cutting edge video game graphics of the time. Just the fact that we had them was a miracle.

I absolutely love this movie. Gives me a great sense of nostalgia. I was 6 in 1986, so this was right in my youth - and what an awesome looking place. Very serene and pleasant.

The wonderful GRIMMS crush all the previous stand by me location videos. NO one does movies like Mr+Mrs Grimm. Thankyou guys.

This has got to be one ☝🏼 of my favorite videos. What an iconic piece of movie 🎥 history!! I still adore watching this film and it takes me back to such a warm place growing up. Thank you guys so much for taking us back!! 🌲🛤️🌳

Nobody does filming locations like you guys. Love this movie.

It’s surreal how much I relate with this movie. My older brother died when I was 11 years old and dealt with my parents in a major depression. My best friend at the time was so similar to the character river phoenix played with how he was always there to both get into trouble with and stick up for me when I needed it. Fast forward 20+ years and I still get weirded out by the similarities.

Michael, I watch several different channels on filming locations and yours ALWAYS are done with perfection. All the angles, details and info you give us makes me feel like I’m literally there. Thank you for the kick ass content! 👊🏻

Love this movie, I introduced it to my 3 kids a few months back. It's now one of my boys favorite movies. It's one of those movies that will stand the test of time and live forever.

Went to Brownsville for my birthday last year. One of the best times ever. Such a great little town.

Wonderful movie. something special about 80s movies that are set in the 1950s/early 60s.

I have always loved this movie. I was sixteen when it came out watching it in the theater with my friends. Now watching it after River left us it always almost makes me cry when he fades away after his story is told at the end about what has happened to each of them. Thank you so much for making this and sharing it with us.

Back when movies were filmed rough and raw and unapologetic. I don’t think we’ll ever get a film like this again. I’m amazed how much in the country this all still is. That was a long time ago! (Btw ….what a grand ole treat you gave us 👍👍)

Brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed it and was brilliant the way Grimmlife done it in scene order. Absolutely loved this film as a kid in the 80s. I’m from Liverpool U.K, and America seemed like a fantasy land. Was in awe when went to Orlando for first time in 1996. America was everything I thought it would be. Absolutely loved it.

You two are amazing. The Body/Stand By Me is quite possibly my favorite story of all time. Thank you for this video. Hope you had fun making it even though it was a big undertaking. Keep doing what your doing. We all appreciate it more than you know.

I grew up in the 80's, so being a kid always has a heightened amount of magic in films, but I truly know it is a work of art and is always on my top 20 list.

I am 39 and have loved this movie since I was 11 and it was played on TV randomly. I always wondered where the body scene was filmed, that’s crazy that they built all the train tracks and that the leech pond and campfire were the same place! I’ve really learned a lot from this!

❤❤❤❤ Honestly KZfaq need love buttons lol. This movie is the best we will be watching this on the TV tonight.

47:55 You can tell the actor who played Vern knew what was coming...He had a smile from ear to ear.

I don’t know how you guys manage to find all these spots, but all of us watching appreciate the time and dedication you put into it to take us there. This one is right up there with your Goonies locations video. Incredible.

Well done Michael and Jessica! I worked in a movie theatre when Stand By Me had its first run in 1986 and it clicked with me right away. I grew up in the Northern Ky area and my friends and I would always walk the railroad tracks when we were the same age as the boys in the movie. I've shared Stand By Me with my son, now also 12yrs old, so it holds alot of meaning to me. Your approach to every video you do is outstanding. The efforts to share locations with us, your respect to the current landowners and your heartfelt emotions are what makes your Filming Location videos stand above the rest. I've mentioned your videos to several friends of mine that also worked in the theatres, being fans of the "back stories" and how they're made. You've made me a fan!

That was some sweet editing work with having the original scene of the kids running away after firing the gun then having it fade in flawlessly to the same modern day spot. 👍 To me that was really cool

You BOTH ran into my girlfriend at a place you were staying outside Portland. She told me she met you..Thank you!!

Probably the best film about friendship ever made!!

A fun fact about Stand by me that most people didnt know was that it actually aired on the channel cinemax before its theatrical release..Cinemax was having a big summer movie premier except they wouldnt disclose the name of the movie they was premiering until it aired..well a week before the theater release cinemax had their big summer movie special and sure enough it was Stand by me..ill never forget actually having the vcr on standby to record it then having the movie at my fingertips the whole summer of 86..i remember rewatching it dozens of time that summer ..what a great year and summer that was..probably the best summer ever for movies as a kid..thanks for the memories grim life you never disappoint..

Today's kids wouldn't know what to do with themselves if you take their phone or laptop away for an hour, they just go catatonic, a state of shock. When I was a kid we went on adventures just like this, usually we rode our bikes, took us farther. We'd sneak out at 4am to bike 15 miles to Lockport to go fishing at the dam or out to the pits near the garbage dump, sometimes we'd just dig around the trash heaps for hours, once we found dozens of garbage bags full of adult mags, sold them for $1 each at school until we were caught, get home at dinner and the parental units wouldn't even ask where we were, they just knew. Being a kid in the days before the internet was so freeing.

This movie really affected me as a child. Such beautiful landscape!

I watched this movie the first time on VHS. I was in Pagosa Springs CO and there was no cable or satellite. All we had was a VCR for days when the weather was bad. The older family spent the entire summer up there and us kids would spend a couple weeks or so. We spent more time on the lake or in the trees. We were like these kids in a way, minus the dead body. Lol! I love this movie. It brings back so many great memories.

I don’t make a ton of comments on KZfaq videos, but I had to say thank you for making this video. One of my favorite movies of all time, and I believe probably one of the best videos you guys have ever done.

Hope you are enjoying my beautiful state of Oregon! So glad you came here again to do more filming. Proud of my state and love seeing it in films. You guys ALWAYS do the very best at giving the details of where, when and how. Nobody else compares! Thank you.

My friends and I had a treehouse in the early 80s, lots of kids did. There was a forest behind our townhome complex in a small town in Manitoba, there were a couple dozen treehouses in various states scattered around. Kids don't build treehouses anymore, to busy building them in Fortnight and Minecraft. They go through a lot of trouble to build things in games and can't even enjoy them for real, kinda feel bad for kids today who'll grow up never having the pleasure of building their own treehouse or even going outdoors for an hour a day to move their limbs around. Humanity is beginning to atrophy.

You guys do some amazing videos. Stand by me has a special place in my heart as being one of my favorite 1980s movies.

I still remember like it was yesterday, I was a young teenager and my mom took me to see Stand By Me at the theater. I fell in love with River and the whole movie. Michael your genuine excitement for the nostalgia of these locations comes through in your videos and make them that much better. I have always loved your lining up the shots & Jessica’s re-enactments. Love love love you guys!! 💚🖤👍

There should be a category at the oscars for videos like this, absolutely brilliant and fun to journey along with. Love this channel... Thank you Jessica & Michael, what you both do for all of us out in the world watching is spectacular.

One of my favorite movies of all time. It has a lot of sentimental value to me.

Can honestly say have watched this over 100 times. Can recite the dialog, fell in love with Keifer Sutherland with this movie.

Like yourself the little alleyway, where Chris Chambers and Gordy were instantly brought back memories of being a kid and watching this. Thank you my friend and many blessings to you Also, have to mention I always had a connection with Chris, because we shared the same last name Chambers!!!

It's crazy with the treehouse.....you can see it right away with the branches....too bad they didn't keep it up,sob How time has changed with these kids.....R.I.P River Phoenix. For me, it's like another lifetime ago. It's always nice when you have such perfect weather to film a video. Blowing the dandelion Jessica, I remember when I was a kid I made the mistake of having it too close to my mouth. I deeply inhaled by my mouth in the hopes I could really, really blow hard out.....I ended up inhaling it all in my mouthI did eat it, lol This is a great movie, but I always found it brought sadness to me......youth, discovery, adventure, emotion, all described in the movie as a memory of the past of what once was. People of our past now just a memory. I loved that railway bridge....it was super cool to see. With it closed off, I might have been tempted to walk it, but I'm not good with heights?? It was great that there were still remnants left of that water tower As a kid, that leach scene actually happened to me, and yes, the leach was in the exact same area as it was with Gordy. I was a kid swimming in an area known for leaches (or what I called, bloodsuckers), and when that leach was discovered, I friggin screamed As always, a great video/story Happy Halloween🎃🎃🎃🎃

One of my all time favorite movies. Thanks for putting in the time to bring us the memorable locations in this movie. Another Grimmlife masterpiece!!

I’ve watched a few Stand By Me filming location videos, but this one takes the cake. Great quality and narration!

You two did a magnificent job re creating and showing the shots of this beautiful scenery in modern day. Big W. Thx for the episode!

Great video you guys! Nobody does filming locations better than you two. I love Stand By Me and can quote the whole movie word for word. I was 11 years old when this came out and my dad took me to see it in the theater. Every time I watch it, I think of my dad (who passed away last year) and think back to my childhood and growing up in the iconic and wonderful decade that was the 80's. I miss those times soooo much and would give anything to be able to go back. Thank you guys so much for this! You both are truly blessed to have the time and means to be able to go to all of these iconic and beautiful places. Much love and safe travels!

One of favourite films from my childhood awesome seeing the filming locations

One of my father's favorite movies we used to watch it together when I was little my dad could relate to growing up back in that time he did a lot of the crazy stuff that all those boys were doing. He would have fit right in with everybody😂 great job on the narration you guys always do such an excellent job taking us back to the movie scenes🤩👍

I love when you respect the owner of all this videos that you do. I with I was an American 😊

Great coming of age movie for everyone, along with a cast of classic kid actors. Having Richard Dreyfuss narrate put the icing on the cake. Ya all did a great job on this video!

Oh man, LOVE THIS!!! Gotta wait to watch it though!😩 One of my favorite movies. Really looking forward to this one!!! You guys are too much❣️

This might have been your film location master piece so far. I thoroughly enjoyed it and just seeing the iconic bridge again, was insanely cool. Thank you, I love this channel!

I have the stand by me cast as my Apple Watch face and as my Facebook profile pic! You guys just got even more awesome in my book! Love this movie and Stephen King. It’s also based on his book called The Body.

one of my 80s favorites i can watch you lining up shots from SBM allday long!.. thank you n great work

That was so cool. Thanks for bringing us back to all those great locations! Amazing to see the change of 35 - 40 years worth of growth and decay...

Seeing your enthusiasm for the snow makes me laugh. I'm so sick of snow. I could easily move to Hawaii and never see any snow ever again. 😅 Thanks for the tour of Stand By Me. You did a nice job. ❤

Great video as always! One of my favorite movies of all time.

Quite possibly one of the best things I have ever watched on KZfaq. Well done, this was just brilliant ❤

August ‘85 I was camping with my folks at Burney Falls and rented a boat on Lake Britton. Cruising up toward the trestle, there was a steam locomotive and film crew. The actors were not on set yet. We scrambled up to check it out and my dad asked the director what the film was. He kindly responded “The Body” (name of the book). I remember an elevated false section of track 10 feet up on one side to make an illusion the boys were on the trestle but keep them safe. We left before the historic shot took place.

This was the first movie I ever watched that made me feel like I was on that adventure with them ! They just don’t make movies like this anymore. Thanks for taking us on this trip with you !

The editing and the music timing is just perfection. This is one of your best. Very grateful to share these journeys guys.🤙🏼

I was 17 when that movie came out, still full of wonder. Man, I miss how movies made me feel back then.

You two are the best thing that has hit KZfaq. I love your filming locations and how in depth you two go with them. Thanks for all the great videos!

This is definitely the best filming locations of stand by me I've ever seen absolutely fantastic, great job,very well put together ,brings back great memories, thank you

Absolute hands down my favorite movie ever. Rob Reiner nailed it.

Great job Michael and Jessica! I think you captured the essence and spirit of this movie as you went along your own journey and adventure finding these locations. I always get transported back to the age of about 12 watching this movie, as it reminds me of the friends, adventures, care free spirit and optimistic attitude I had at that age. It must of felt really cool actually finding these iconic locations.

Great video! I was just at the bridge last week.

Out of all your filming locations videos, this is my favorite. One of the best movies ever and this was such a thorough tour. I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you!

One of the most beatiful and peaceful settings you’ve filmed in. I haven’t seen the movie as I was in college in the 80s and didn’t see many movies or TV shows, but I’ll add it to my list! So cool that a water tower from the era of steam trains was still standing at the time!

I was born in the 90s but brought up on 80s movies and this took me right back! Thanks grimlife for taking us on your adventure!

Loved this movie as a kid, Born and raised in Eugene Oregon. Been to Brownsville many times.

This was awesome! Thanks for all the hard work that went into this video and thanks for sharing it with us. Stand By Me is one of my most favorite 80s movies ever. 👍👍

You are so lucky two of my favourite movies The Goonies and Stand by Me and you've been to both locations. The only filming location I've been able to go too is the filming location of the British sitcom Gavin & Stacey in Barry Island

I knew it I knew it I knew it!!! Monumental effort and another Outstanding result. Great video kids, hope you're enjoying Oregon. Grimm for Life!

Oh man. There won't be another film location video as special as this one. I was 10 when I watched this movie. Thank you for doing this!!!! So much appreciated

I'm 46. As an 80s kid and having watched Stand by Me soooooo many times ... watching this video makes me so nostalgic!! 😃

Love this movie and the memories it brings back from my own childhood
