Stephen King – the ranking
If you look at “Die Legee”, Rob Reiners in 1986, “Stand by Me”, Rob Reiners in 1986, then it is not creepy, because children are looking for a missing, probably dead boy in the woods of Maine in order to make-somewhat okay-to make a coming-of-age experience as in the stories of John Steinbeck.
A look at the later development of the actors involved in real life is much scary. Because Corey Feldman should crash privately as well as his nervous figure Teddy. Wil Wheaton became a shy (Hollywood) outsider, later a writer like his main character Gordie. Kiefer Sutherland landed for drunkenness and riot in jail like the tyrannical ace. And River Phoenix ‘sad, before his time aged rebel Chris? Yes, Chris died young. Like Phoenix itself.
Rob Reiner was able to turn what he wanted from the late 1970s, he was seven classics in a row, as otherwise only Richard Donner, in seven genres: “This is Spinal Tap”, “The Beak hit”, “The bride of the prince”, “Harry and Sally”, “Misery” (also Stephen King, but real horror), “A question of honor” in between ” Me “, the anti-bratpack statement. In addition, the film revitalized the career of 48-year-old Ben E. King, from whose soul classic “Stand by Me” he borrowed his title.
The first to create more incredible ten years after Brian de Palma’s “Carrie” the first to the cinema audience that Stephen King could do more than only created monsters. And sometimes he could be funny. The legendary cake betting, which ends in a joint Kotzen-in-beam excess, is a welcome co-mic relief, staged by director Reiner with blueberry fountains from well-torn mouths. He tempts us to suspend our disbelief.
