First note: I think I use too many keywords at times.

Right, so I have been watching some movies from my childhood. The main one that really sticks in my mind is Stand By Me, the movie based on the novella 'The Body' by Stephen King.

The Song "Stand By Me - Ben E. King"

I think the reason is the movie itself was about a "simpler time". Though there was a great deal of trouble then too, for a tween, life was filled with more 'physical' adventures, the seemingly slower loss of innocence and more of a sense of closeness between friends. Maybe it’s just this movie, but then I don’t think so.
