I've seen this movie before. Lots. And I love it. But it was my birthday, so the movie was my choice. And I chose the perfect Sunday afternoon movie, which I haven't seen for ages.
And it's still great. Adapted from the Stephen King novel The Body, it tells the story of four boys who go hunting for a dead body - and about all the trials they face along the way (trains on the line, leeches, killer dogs, friendships...). It's a story about the journey, not the destination. And what a journey it is.
Time hasn't done anything to harm this movie, and every time I watch it I love it that little bit more. A perfect slice of Sunday afternoon nostalgia - whether you were born in the 60s, the 80s or the 90s.
Rating: 5 out of 5
