I was definitely Gordie. I relate to him so well. I was somewhat shy and even at a young age loved writing. I would write stories. I would wish for a friend like Gordie had in Chris who was somewhat the opposite of him. Someone who was more outgoing, had more a bad ass reputation but who protected him.
But in later years I can relate to each of the kids. They all have traits I had at some point in my life.

I was a cross between Gordie and Vern, so the husky but naive dreamer who was the brains behind the lead guy who was my best friend who was so much like Chris Chambers come to life.

That's a tough one! I wish I could say I was Chris in this film but I'm more a Gordie with Teddie's temperament. Chris was so cool though, and mature so perhaps I'll kid myself I'm most like him.
This is not a horror film, this is a Santini film -

I would be most like Chris, a natural leader and an all around tough guy with a bit of a rocky past. I am not like Chris, however, in the sense that I don't get involved in stuff Im not supposed to get involved in, such as when Chris tried to break up an argument in a restaurant which led to his demise.
And my name in real life also happens to be Chris BTW. -

Another Gordie here! I used to fill up notebooks with stories, poems and a magazine that I created. I was the editor and all the columnists. ha But thankfully, I did not have the bad relationship with my parents that Gordie did.
I was somewhat like Chris too, kind of mature for my age. That was probably because I was the oldest and I had to watch my younger siblings a lot. -

I am so Gordie, always have been. I would love to be Chris, and I have had many friends like him or Teddy and definitely some Verns. I am a storyteller, a brooder, and I perhaps had the best friends I ever had when I was twelve. The only obvious difference would be I am gay, so I guess I a gay Gordie (some might argue a regular Gordie)
Give me some skin.
I'll see ya.
Not if I see you first. -

I'm a Gordie.
My father passed when I was 12yrs old, & that was 1990 when this movie was still pretty fresh.
It was one of my favs before that time, & as I aged it eventually became my #1 of all time.
The last line of the movie, as well as the 3 best friends I grew up with near mimicking Gordie's (an athlete, a jokester, & a guy 2yrs younger than us- all of whom grew apart as we aged ourselves), has always been awesomely precise.
I honestly have never read a more accurate sentence my entire life.
I still feel like Gordie sometimes, unsure of the future even as I'm an adult. That sounds weird yet I know I'm not alone there. -

No you're definitely not alone. Actually it doesn't sound weird at all. One of my favorite lines of the movie was at the beginning with the narration saying that it happenned in 1959 "a long time ago, but only if you measure in terms of years"

I'd like to say a combination of all of them. I was never into sports, had a brother who was a really popular athlete, I enjoy reading and writing; so I'm Lachance in those ways. I came from an alcoholic family and I thought I was going to end up like them, and I was always kind of the peacekeeper in our group of friends; so Chris. As a preteen, I was overweight and was the but of a lot of jokes from my "friends"; Vern. TeddyWell, not so much I guess. We all have our Teddy moments though.
