The story of first love, one summer, on a council estate in London, England. Two teenage guys fall in love and jump into a lake to fetch a football. Short wet scene, but also a good movie.

A grim, gritty South London housing estate makes an unlikley setting for a romantic fairy-tale, but Hetti MacDonald's teenage love story all but brings it off. Adapted by screenwriter Jonathan Harvey from his own stage play, Beautiful Thing tells how teenage loner Jamie falls for next-door neighbour Ste, one of the tough kids who bullies him at school. Amazingly, he finds his feelings reciprocated, and the two progress to a tender, tentative affair.

Sidestepping conventional notions of working-class homophobia, the film succeeds in presenting its central relationship not as anything startlingly different, but simply as a teenage romance, with all the joy and heartbreak it implies, that happens to be between two 15-year-old guys.

Problems of brutality and deprivation are acknowledged but never allowed to dominate, and under the influence of love even the harsh walkways and terraces of the estate take on a sunlit glow.

North Shore (1987)

The story of first love, one summer, a surfer on Hawaii trying to win the big contest but discovers himself instead. Lots of wet scenes. Probably will only have limited copies of it on the shelves. It lasted only two weeks in Canada in theaters when it was originally released.

It's the one about the kid from Arizona (Matt Adler), who's surfed only on artificial waves in that landlocked state, coming out to spend his last free summer hitting the serious water of Hawaii. He falls in with a mystical surf guru (Gregory Harrison), one of those surf-Zen masters obsessed with the cosmic significance of hanging ten, but he's also tempted by the flashier stunts of the younger surf crowd. Oh, and the Arizona kid also gets romantic with the prettiest girl on Oahu (Nia Peeples), which precipitates trouble with her resentful native family.

Trivia about North Shore:

Laird Hamilton (Burkhart), Gerry Lopez (Vince Mokaloka), Mark Occoluppo (Occie), and Alex Rogers (Robbie Page) are among the main cast who were real-life pro-surfers.

As seen on the most recent DVD release of the film, originally the role of Kiani was played by another actress. However when she didn't work out they brought in Nia Peeples to re-shoot all her scenes. The film's original ending can be seen in the special features of the DVD.

Critically acclaimed story set in 1959, which tells of four friends who go on a overnight camping trip to find a missing teenager's body, but ultimately find out a lot about themselves. Based on a short story by Stephen King.

A sleeper hit when released in 1986, Stand by Me is based on Stephen King's novella "The Body" (from the book Different Seasons); but it's more about the joys and pains of boyhood friendship than a morbid fascination with corpses.

It's about four boys aged 12 and 13 (Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell) who take an overnight hike through the woods near their Oregon town to find the body of a boy who's been missing for days.

Their journey includes a variety of scary adventures (including a ferocious junkyard dog, a swamp full of leeches and a treacherous leap from a train trestle), but it's also a time for personal revelations, quiet interludes and the raucous comradeship of best friends.

The movie indulges an overabundance of anachronistic profanity and a kind of idealistic, golden-toned nostalgia (it's told in flashback as a story written by Wheaton's character as an adult, played by Richard Dreyfuss). But it's delightfully entertaining from start to finish, thanks to the rapport among its young cast members and the timeless, universal themes of friendship, family and the building of character and self-esteem.

Stand By Me is one of those rare gems of cinema which has a broad appeal to men of all ages, as it is a timeless piece of nostalgia and is credible and genuine throughout.

Although all of the boys are utter cliches (the tough wiseguy who leads the group, the dumb fat one whose always scared etc.) the remarkable performances save the film, with River Phoenix in particular making an impression as tough but decent Chris, and Wil Wheaton, who plays the sensitive Gordie (the principal character of the film), is equally impressive.

Scout Toujours (A Scout Forever)

An aging mamma's boy becomes the replacement leader of a rowdy group of teenage boy scouts who make his life miserable. Nothing more than a typical, formulaic comedy about a bumbling Boy Scout troop leader (director Gerard Jugnot), this story features the inept counselor facing off with a wild group of scouts in the middle of a camping trip. The Scoutmaster also has to parry a gay colleague who is out to question his sexual preferences, and there are even more disasters waiting to happen. It is enough to make anyone turn in their badge. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Bon, voilà, c'est une vieille comédie française avec Gérard Jugnot, très amusante, très sympathique. Remarque : les vieilles comédies françaises sont parfois un peu pornos (la soeur d'un Curé en met plein les yeux à son frère, un chef de scout Gay saute (sur ou rien du tout!) les enfants). Gérard Jugnot aime les enbrouilles : des gamins mal élevés dans Les Choristes et Scout Toujours, des babanes dans Pinot simple flic (pour savoir ce qu'est qu'un Babane, allez dans la partie "Moi : voyages, fêtes..." et aller dans article Pourquoi mon collège risque de fermer?

En cet été 1965, la 8ème section scout de Neuilly n'était pas de celles que Sir Baden Powell aurait cité en exemple. Elle rassemblait une bande d'affreux jojos déjà responsables chez leurs chefs d'une dépression nerveuse et d'une fracture double.

Été 1965. Affublé d'une mère possessive et de l'héritage d'un père qui fut une grande figure du scoutisme, Jean-Baptiste Foucret se voit confier la direction d'un camp de vacances en remplacement de l'autoritaire Bien Bien Fou, indisponible au dernier moment. Dévoué tout autant que faible, il n'est guère taillé pour cette mission, qui déjà commence par l'incendie de l'autocar conduisant la petite troupe dans les Cévennes. C'est en charrette que tout ce monde chahuteur rejoint la propriété de Benoît de Guillemin, père de l'aumônier des scouts et de la provocante Marie-France. Lolita du terroir qui ne craint pas de montrer ses seins aux uns et aux autres, celle-ci trouble ainsi un peu plus un Jean-Baptiste ayant par ailleurs fort à faire pour contrôler la situation. Un jeu consistant à ramener divers objets dégénère : les gamins ramènent une culotte de femme, prétendant qu'elle leur a été donnée par Marie-France. Jean-Baptiste y va de sa leçon de morale à la jeune fille, qui le remet en place avant d'aller s'exhiber nue au soleil. La culotte appartient en réalité à Édith, dont Jean-Baptiste découvre qu'elle a déjà «initié» un certain nombre de ses ouailles. Pas question de la réprimander sans en passer d'abord par son «protecteur», l'imposant Marek le Gitan. Par rétorsion, Jean-Baptiste astreint tout le monde à une épreuve physiquement éprouvante : trente kilomètres de marche jusqu'au «point Alpha», où il les attendra en compagnie de Georges. Les heures passant, celui-ci, homosexuel, lui avoue son attirance pour lui. Et toujours aucun scout en vue ! Regagnant le camp au prix de pénibles efforts contre une nature hostile, Jean-Baptiste effaré, découvre que les adolescents, perdus, ont vite rebroussé chemin avant de tuer le temps en jouant au strip poker avec Marie-France (c'est elle qui gagne !). Marek se fait leur complice pour une dernière mascarade, qui tourne mal. Du coup, Jean-Baptiste se retrouve avec un petit groupe, égaré dans une gorge infranchissable, et Anthony est piqué par une vipère. Jean-Baptiste se montre à la hauteur, conduisant les petits plaisantins à le respecter enfin. Mais alors même qu'il commence à trouver ses marques avec eux, Bien Bien Fou revient, rétabli. Jean-Baptiste va repartir, mais il ne sera pas dit qu'il n'a pas enfin affirmé sa personnalité.

Un chef scout guignard et étourdi emmène sa troupe dans un camp de vacances. Bon, voilà, c'est une vieille comédie française avec Gérard Jugnot, très amusante, très sympathique. Excellent film rempli d'humour. Gerard Jugnot (comme toujours) nous fait bien rire dans ce film.

Film culte de la comedie francaise (du moins pour moi), Scout Toujours est une comédie qui n'a pas vieillie, les gags sont toujours aussi frais! A voir absolument!

Il n'y a qu'un mot a dire pour ce film, il est magnifique, a chaque fois que je le vois, je suis mort de rire, en plus Gérard Jugnot est un super acteur dans ce film, belle histoire alors c'est un film culte pour moi.
