Hi there. Of course I am a huge fan of RIVER:)!! I believe anyone who sees the movie begins caring for this special, unique, talented, awesome, gorgeous (I could go on forever:D) River Phoenix!

Happy to hear you're a fan! He was and will always be a great man, loved by many and this is one of the best movies ever, my all-time favourite!!

Omg i love him so much. As an actor. He was so GREAT he was totally sexy AND a good actor he was a 2 in 1 package. I think he really brought a lot of passion to his roles. Stand by Me was FANTASTIC. I think he's the sexiest man ever but everyone else thinks he's ugly. I wonder whats wrong with them sometimes.

hey sexy ;-)

reply

Everyone else thinks he's ugly? I'd love to see what they look like.

reply

Yes, I am definately a River Phoenix fan!!! I love him and his movies ~ they are so great! Stand By Me and Dogfight are my favorites. You should watch them both if you haven't already :) Great actor, and one that will be missed for years and years to come.

Yup, River definitely reunites all the qualities a man could long for...sighs...! His movies are so great, I watched them repeatedly with my friends and I could never get tired of it:)! ROE, SMB, Dogfight, MOPI, MC, TTCL, ILYTD and the others are all fantastic... And what's with that "everybody else finds him ugly?" thing? You're joking, right? coz it kinda blew me off!I mean, it may be hard for some to past beyond his amazing looks and look into his depth, but the other way around?? All of the people I know- River fan or not, knowing him or just seeing a pic of him- said he was gorgeous. It's not a matter of taste, it's an evidence:)! I for one can't think of a more fascinating attractive human being!
River Phoenix is awesome and he will be forever loved and remembered, because true talent and soul never fade away!

We love you, River!
Rest in peace!

You guys are amazing for keeping his memory alive, don't ever forget that;)!
Take care!

people who think he was ugly need to grow some eyes.

'Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?'

reply

Hahaha, "to grow some eyes", yeah:)! I mean, come on, man, what's beautiful is beautiful! And when you've got heaps of talent and heart over that.. that's just... wow:)!

Rest in peace, River!

gosh i know...idk whats wrong w/ them...my friend said he looked like a girl um NO. he was a really awesome actor most young actors when they get older lose the cute and cant make it as a serious actor but he really was amazing

hey sexy ;-)

"...because true talent and soul never fade away!"

I admire your words, alexandratzy- I believe that also!

And yes, I am a River fan. Ive admired him since the first time I read one of his biographies. His looks first cached my eye. But looks only on a person eventually fade away my interest. But the soul, passion and talent of one being, never. I can honestly say, just as gorgeous as he was on the outside, he was twice as much on the inside.

Thank you, Samio... Your words really brought a tear to my eyes:
"I can honestly say, just as gorgeous as he was on the outside, he was twice as much on the inside..."

We will never let his memory to go away, will we?...:) Never!

Rest in peace, River!
You are loved, always remembered!

We shall not! And thankyou, i'm glad there are many people who agree, and try to keep his memory alive also. Especially, you with your clips. I put one of yours as my signiture because I really want people to see how beautiful it is. And because I adore the song.

Aww, thank you so much, Sweet River (great name, by the way:d), this is one video that brought tears to my eyes while making it, lol, I know, it's crazy, but it's just that this poem and song are so beautiful and speak so much for River!... I thank you for your kindness, it means a lot! I'm just happy you special people love River and what he has offered us and keep his message and memory living. I really appreciate you!

Rest in peace, River, you are loved!!

I don’t find it crazy! Cause its true- the lyrics of ‘Moon River’ and the poem 'nothing gold can stay' truly speak of River. And I must say, you put them together nicely! And I appreciate your generosity to your Love for him- and any passionate River fan out there.

There's a lot of people who have found River ugly? Hmm. That's weird. He was kind of known (and I guess still is) as a great actor with phenominal looks as well. He's regarded as good looking by a lot of people. At least I think he was good looking :)

Huge River Phoenix fan. He is the greatest actor ever. His brother is amazing too, but I like River better. Walk the Line and stant By Me are two of my most favorite films ever. I hope River is happy wherever he is now.

Love love love River. I am 37 and still remember my mom calling me to let me know that he had died. I was devastated. Very very talented actor. This is truly one of his very best movies. I cry every single time I watch it. After this movie I cried every time I heard "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. I am pregnant with my first child and was going to name him River but my husband cousin had her baby first and beat me to it.
I also very much like Joaquin. He has taken on his brothers intense acting. Every role played by either one of them is believable.

reply

There are a lot of people treasuring River and this is such a wonderful thing, because he's a great artist and soul and the world should know River better :x

reply

[deleted]

Omg! What kind of a question is that?! I love River and I'm pretty sure everyone else on this board does too.

RIP River!!! :-)

reply

I am a fan. He was a natural actor who died way too young.
Running on Empty and My Own Private Idaho are my personal favorites.

reply

This is his very best performance. "My Own Private Idaho" is his most iconic, but here he's doing something very special and deeply moving. We shall not see his like again.

reply

Duh we're fans of him why do you think were here ?? I love river he was a great actor.

reply

I think it's safe to assume that anyone posting on this board would be a River Phoenix fan.

reply

Hell yes, he was such a good actor and very good looking.
