Just wanted to say, I remember going to this movie back when it first hit the theaters. Stephen King's "Different Seasons" produced two fantastic movies; this one and "The Shawshank Redemption", and one acceptable but not great one; "Apt Pupil".

Truly shocked to the core. "Different Seasons" was my absolute favorite Stephen King book. And two of the absolute best Stephen King film adaptations came from this book.
