6. Stand By Me (1986)

The boys' trip down the train tracks in Stranger Things Season 1 is a clear allusion to Stand By Me (1986). To discover a missing youngster, a group of boys travels along railroad lines in the movie Stand By Me. Similar to this, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin follow the trail in Stranger Things as they look for their friend Will, who has gone missing. This tribute emphasizes the close camaraderie and spirit of adventure that both sets of guys share.
