Stand By Me turns 30 on August 22, 2016. THIRTY. Oh look, an excuse to watch the movie 30 more times and put together a list of favorite quotes!
I've provided a light commentary, in italics, because I just couldn't help myself. (Don't worry, it's easy to ignore, if you're just here for the quotes.) Feel free to comment, I'd love to know about your favorites too!

Also, Kiefer Sutherland, who also did a phenomenal job with the role of Ace Merrill, had this to say about his character in this really neat behind the scenes documentary titled “Walking the Tracks: The Summer of Stand By Me” (which is found on the Special Edition DVD of the movie):

I give this film five stars (as well as two thumbs up).. :)
