Everyone Should See The Goonies

If you remember the eighties, then you certainly remember The Goonies. This movie was a classic. On the other hand, if you still haven't seen it for some crazy reason… Think Pirates of the Caribbean meets Stand By Me meets Indiana Jones meets The Sopranos meets… Well, it's a whole lot of different movies all wrapped into one, really. It's primarily an adventure flick, but it makes a lot of stops along the way, and stands as one of the all time classic kids movie downloads.

The movie follows, who else, The Goonies. This gang of misfits, led by Mikey Walsh, is known around the city of Astoria, Oregon for always getting into some sort of trouble. The story really kicks off when the rich folks in town decide to buy up the neighborhood to convert it into a golf course. The city of Astoria is really gorgeous, and it's too bad that it only features prominently in the first act of the film before it gets into the cave-dwelling adventure stuff.

The Goonies take it upon themselves to save the Boon Docks. They start by getting into the attic, where Mike's dad, a museum curator, has a bunch of old pirate stuff stashed. They find a treasure map leading them to an old restaurant on the coast. The restaurant is run by the Fratellis, a low rent crime family led by Ma Fratelli, a serious ball buster who takes a sort of Bates Motel approach to mothering her children, played by Robert Davi and Joe Pantoliano. They have to figure out how to get under the restaurant to get the treasure without alerting the Fratellis and…

With the pirates, the foreclosure subplot, the gangsters, the treasure, the coming of age thread, it… Sounds kind of complicated, right? Well, it really isn't. Remember, the only reason all these other factors are there is to keep the movie moving. It's all about adventure, and the gangsters and rich kids and all that, that's just something for the Goonies to always be running away from as they go from booby trap to booby trap and develop deeper bonds of friendship.

It's really just a whole lot of fun. It inspires you with a sense of adventure, like this stuff can happen in real life. While it's not likely that it WILL happen, the movie is at least rooted enough in reality that it doesn't get into the supernatural or anything like that, so it could, technically, happen in real life, no matter how implausible and unlikely that might be.

The film was thought to be incredibly fast paced, a little too break-neck, when it was released, but times have changed. Today, you won't get out of a kid's movie without seeing seven manic chase scenes, and at least one character getting dragged along an assembly line conveyor belt. The Goonies is relatively laid back in comparison to the madcap CGI films out today.

But in any event, it's one of the all time great eighties flicks, as it well should be, having been produced by Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner. The style, the fashion, the music, it all adds up to a movie that couldn't have been made in any other decade.

However you look at it, the movie's a classic. It's sort of like Indiana Jones with kids in the lead. If you have fond memories of the film from your childhood, give it another watch, and keep it on your hard drive to share with your own kids one of these days.
