Welcome to the debut episode of Remake or Replay! In this series, we revisit iconic films from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, discussing whether they deserve a modern remake or if they should stay just as they are—rewatchable classics. In today’s episode, we’re diving into Stand By Me, one of the most beloved coming-of-age films of all time. We’ll explore the key themes that have cemented its place as a cultural icon, discuss our favorite scenes without giving away any spoilers, and reflect on why this movie still resonates with audiences decades later. From unforgettable lines to standout moments, we break it all down in our signature awards section, including: John Candy Award Phoebe Cates Award Word Up Award Jake Ryan Award I Could Have Done That Award Who's Cutting the Onion's Award And of course, we’ll end with the final verdict: Should this movie be remade for a new generation, or is it best replayed over and over? Join us as we kick off this exciting new journey through cinema history!
