Stand by me
In a tree house at the edge of Castle Rock, a small, woodsy Oregon town,
a budding 12-year-old writer named Gordie LaChance (Will Wheaton) is
about to begin an extraordinary trek into the heart of the northwestern
forest, an experience that will alter the course of his life forever. His best
friend Vern (Jerry O’Connell) has overheard his older brother and a friend
talking about their discovery of a dead body in the woods. Hoping they
can get credit for finding the body, Gordie sets off with insecure, frightened
Vern, tough guy Chris (River Phoenix) and daredevil Teddy (Corey Feldman)
on an adventure that becomes an odyssey of self-discovery. Their journey
begins innocently with a dream of becoming town heroes, but before it is
over Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern will be tested in ways they had never
imagined.

Yours, mine and ours
Single parents Frank (Dennis Quaid) and Helen (Rene Russo) were in love in
high school, where they were prom king and queen. Now Frank is a widowed
Coast Guard admiral with eight kids, while Helen, a widow herself, is a fashion
designer and has 10 children of her own. After reconnecting at a high school
reunion, they waste no time in planning to marry. But befitting his military
background, Frank runs a tight ship, with kids who line up for roll call and mess
duty. Helen has a higher tolerance for messiness; her kids are little free spirits.
Naturally the two groups of children don’t get along: the only thing they share
is a dislike of the new living arrangement. Once they agree to a truce, joining
forces to sabotage the marriage, Frank and Helen discover that families can’t
be built in a day.
