124. The Goonies (1985)

February 24, 2014

If you grew up with The Goonies, then you probably love this movie. Starring a cast of kids who (for the most part) went on to have relatively successful acting careers, The Goonies is a classic 80s movie. When a developer comes in with plans to destroy the neighborhood they live in, the kids take an old treasure map they found in an attic and try to find the treasure to get enough money to take their town back. The map takes them to an abandoned restaurant by the bay. Meanwhile, a family of murdering thugs named the Fratellis is hiding out in that restaurant. The kids do their best to hide from the thugs and avoid all the booby traps laid by the dread pirate One Eyed Willie, until they find the treasure and save their beloved 'Goondocks'. If you haven't seen The Goonies, I suggest you do see it, but don't expect to have the same enthusiasm for it as those of us who watched it as kids.
