The Goonies

I've seen this movie about a hundred times.  It's one of those movies that if you was it as a kid it takes you back.  Released in June1985, it grossed over 61 million dollars int the box office.  This movie just seems to have everything  in it.  Its got bank robbers, sword fights, treasure hunting, caves, pirates and monsters.  Theirs even a few crazy gadgets her and there.  Its what I would imagine Indiana Jones child hood would be like.


Like the last movie i reviewed its case is made up mostly of child actors and a lot of the went on to have great carriers in Hollywood.

The story is about a group kids and there costal town is about to be bought up by some corporation to build something, Im not sure what, and everyone has to sell because they don't have the money to stop them.  Their is a legend about a treasure that has been barred near by named one eyed Willy.  They find an old map of their fathers.  The map leads them on a fantastic adventure to treasure.  Along the way they are followed by some wanted bank robbers who also want the treasure.

This is a great movie.  If you haven't seen this movie, you're missing out!  You can get it through Netflix but only on DVD.  You would thing that a movie form 1985 would be available  to watch instantly on Netflix.  You can rent in on Apple TV for $2.99 or buy it for $9.99.

My fovoriet quote from The Goonies "Goonies never say die!"
