THE GOONIES [1985]

The collaborative efforts of storytellers Chris Columbus & Steven Spielberg with director Richard Donner resulted in one of the defining films of many folk's childhood, The Goonies.
With it's spirited and nostalgic sense of adventure it remains a timeless classic for anybody as a child dreamed of something bigger and better hidden within their everyday life.  Shining with a particularly entertaining child cast (take note of Jeff Cohen as Chunk), The Goonies blends Indiana Jones and The Hardy Boys for one exciting trap after another.   It's a little loud and sloppily put together when it comes to a clean storyline but it really doesn't matter when you're in it for the memories or showing it to the kids for the first time.  Good times.
