Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - The Goonies
Who doesn't like The Goonies? You'd have to be a loser or been born under a rock! I suggest you buy this movie and another copy to give to someone.
Rating: - Travel back in time
I watched this movie for the first time when I was 11 years old, and I honestly consider it a very fun and imaginative movie for youngster I played this DVD to my nephews and the 9 years old one Love It, it talks about it all the time and ask me to played again for him. In this world where we just sit and watch TV or play videogames for fun there is something missing the exiting experience of real life, real biking, real playing, real friendship... I'm a GOOONIE.....
Rating: - Cute Movie! Great for the entire family
I love this movie! Great family viewing, or a fun "funny" for adults. Still funny after all these years!
Rating: - the best kids movie ever!!
MOUTH, MIKEY, DATA, CHUNK, BRAND, ANDIE, STEPH, and who could leave out SLOTH!!! This is/was my favorite movie growing up! The action, the pirates, the adventure...It's classic!
Rating: - hey you guys!
This movie is one of my favorite movies of all time when I was young. I actually watched this movie today on cable. I own this on dvd and come to it when I need something to watch. I dont think alot of the new kids today that were born in the mid 90s and after would like this movie...its a bit cheesy but funny. If this movie came out today..I probably wouldnt like it to be honest. Im 26 now and this movie make me feel like Im 6 again..love this move still. Buy it if your an 80s kid!
