'Stand by Me' at 25 -- The Stars' Oral History of Their Beloved Classic

'Stand by Me' was an immediate success, touching a nerve with audiences young and old. To celebrate the film's 25th anniversary, Moviefone spoke with director Rob Reiner and several of the film's stars: Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Casey Siemaszko (the bullying Billy Tessio). They shared their memories on the once-in-a-lifetime Oregon shoot, the adventures they had off-camera and the global impact of 'Stand by Me.'

Tax Relief...who knew?

Beginning April 1, 2011, we won't pay state sales tax on clothing and shoes that cost $55 or less, for the next year. No fooling!

The State of New York will once again exempt its share of sales tax (4%) on clothing and shoes. This exemption will apply to items under $55 in value until April 1, 2012, when it will apply to clothing and shoes under $110.

A majority of lawmakers lifted the clothing tax exemption last fall to help close the state's budget gap.
