Right then, have been busy while you were sleeping: Remember this one? Watched it as a young boy and was overwhelmed by the beauty of the nature (as I was when watching The Horse Whisperer).
That is the wonderfully uplifting On Golden Pond. Henry Fonda's only best actor Oscar. Another fine 80s film.
Friends not so much a gang. They go in search of the body of a local teenager hit by a train. You recognize River Phoenix as one of the boys?
