| You may be surprised to discover that the director of the Lethal Weapon movies and scary horror flick The Omen, Richard Donner, also produced and directed this classic children's adventure (which, by the way, was written by Donner's screen-wizard friend Steven Spielberg). Then again you may not. The Goonies, like Donner's other movies, is the same story of good versus evil. It has its share of bad guys (the Fratelli brothers and their villainous mother), reluctant-hero good guys (the Walsh bothers and their gang of friends), and lots of corny one-liners. Like in an old-fashioned Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew plot, the Goonies need to solve a problem: a corrupt corporate developer has bought out their neighborhood and plans to flatten all their homes. Luckily, the beloved gang stumbles on a treasure map. In the hopes of finding the treasure to buy back their houses, the Goonies embark on their quest through underground passages, aboard pirate ships, and behind waterfalls. This swashbuckling and rollicking ride was also a great breeding ground for a couple of child actors who went on to enjoy numerous successes in adulthood: Sean Astin (Rudy, Encino Man) and Martha Plimpton (Pecker, 200 Cigarettes). --Samantha Allen Storey Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

I watched The Goonies on video and I thought it was a good movie. I like pirate themed movies and this movie contains some wonderful scenes with a group of kids finding an old pirate treasure map and searching in caves for an old pirate ship and treasure only to cross paths with a family of criminals. The action and adventure in this movie is very good and there is a great cast that includes Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green and Martha Plimpton and I highly recommend this movie and I will have to think about buying the DVD!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....Cindy lauper........Man, this is a timeless classic, I first saw it on t.v when I was really little, and I still watch it today (on dvd). Worth the watch to see Chunk spill his food on himself and say "aww sh*t!"

I just love this movie but there is only two problems. First of all the language is horrible. I don't know why they ruined this great film with that. Another thing, that part when they show the naked statue is gross. My parents won't let me watch this anymore and I'm almost eleven. Good movie but not for the little ones. Ages 13 and up would be good. Other than that stuff this is a great movie. Taylor
