Thanks so much

Dear Sir/Madame/Miss

I found this clip from the Rob Reiner Film "Stand By Me." Easily the single most touching film about boyhood ever made. Please see it, you won't regret it.

Thank you very much for your reply. I will definately see it.

Also, thanks for sharing this with us.

Thank You kindly. Just thought I wanted to add a bit of love and hope into an unfortunately mostly-cynical youtube.

That was very lovely.

Thank You Kindly. Its kinda hard to find warm and sentimental "Time Of Your Life" Music Videos outside Anime Music Videos (which I LOVE to death), so I thought using a sentimental era as a subject (1950s) would work.

Ms. :] Donald O'Connor is the brilliant dancer who was in Singin' in the Rain alongside Gene Kelly and Debbie Renyolds. He's shown at 2:04 spinning on the ground.
