You can stream Stand by Me (1986) on Max with a subscription.

After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four boys decide to go see the body. Gordie, Vern, Chris, and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, but they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.

The dusty railroad tracks and sun-drenched Oregon woods feel like a fever dream of childhood freedom. This journey toward a missing body transforms into a raw, aching look at the friendships that define us before we grow up.
