Stand By Me: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
This is one of those soundtracks that may have worked better during the vinyl era. Most of the tunes here (each and every one a '50s rock classic) are likely already in the CD collections of fans of this kind of music. That's probably the case with Buddy Holly, Ben E. King, the Del Vikings (two cuts here), the Coasters, Jerry Lee Lewis, and perhaps Shirley & Lee. It's probably not true of the Chordettes' "Lollipop," but that tune is used to such great effect in this terrific flick that you may just want to watch the video again. You can't go wrong with 10 feel-good classics. --Bill Holdship more

- One of the best soundtracks ever
It's just what you'd expect if you've seen the movie. It's not very long, as some other reviewers noted, but the songs are all great and bring back memories.

- Simply not enough
Love the movie, love all the songs (certainly better then anything today), but why include only 10 nostalgic songs? The whole disk is only about 30 min. And some of the best songs from the movie are missing. Why couldn't they include:The...
