A young teenager named Mikey Walsh finds an old treasure map in his father's attic. Hoping to save their homes from demolition, Mikey and his friends Data Wang, Chunk Cohen, and Mouth Devereaux run off on a big quest to find the secret stash of Pirate One-Eyed Willie.
Ah, kids adventure films, how fondly we remember. In an effort to ward off property developers and save the Walsh's from having to move away. Mikey Walsh, Brand Walsh and their intrepid friends, set off to look for pirate treasure they believe exists after the discovery of a dust covered map. Fun fun fun! Treasure, pirates, booby traps, crooks, weird cellar dwelling humans, water slides, wis...
Such a classic! Glad they shown this at the cinema when it reopened - it looked amazing in the big screen!
Second time seeing this and while it's not quite the classic in my book, still a fun family-adventure flick with some nice production design and a nice cast along with some great talent behind the camera with Spielberg producing (and story), Chris Columbus's script and Richard Donner directing.

Well done as most of Spielberg's movie are joined with a fantasy story with a bunch of kids like many other classics of that generation (Neverending Story Flight Of The Navigator, Back to the Future for example) that we don't see anymore. ...
"The Goonies" kicks off strong with a great first act that really captures the energy of being a kid in the '80s. It’s fun watching the group of teens hanging out, pranking each other, and getting into all kinds of creative mischief around the house. It’s a bit of a throwback to when kids actually spent time together in person, unlike today, where everyone’s glued to a screen. The story flows p...
