4/4  Goondock Saints
For me this is one of those rare films with great replay value. I feel for the most part they don't make great adventure flicks like this anymore. I mean you got the Feld dog in all of his smart-assed glory. You got a bumbling band of crim... (read full)

3.5/4  It's Chunk!
If you were a child in the 80s, or had a child in the 80s, or even just knew a child in the 80s, you must have seen The Goonies. As a person raised in the 80s, it feels strange to even try to review a movie that was such a huge part of my... (read full)

3/4  There's a Goonie in all of us
Everyone either wanted to be or was a Goonie during some part of their life. It is a perfect depiction of lost innocence and "coming of age" (I really hate that cliche) and just believing that with a little help from your friends, you cou... (read full)

4/4  Fratelli's BEWARE! Arrrrrrgh!
Okay seriously who wouldn't want to be a Goonie?? Or rather, who WASN'T a Goonie of some sort when they were a kid? I know I was. I was 11 when this came out and lemme tell ya, my whole circle of friends and I had our own adventures as wel... (read full)

3/4  The test of time
Most movies or TV shows that you watched and enjoyed as a child suck ass, that is mostly cause you were way dumber then you remember being when you were young. For instance i go back and watch like dukes of hazard episodes and am astonish... (read full)

3/4  You idiot you glued it on upside down!
I remember the first time I saw this movie in the theater, it was one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. Of course anything with skeletons, and shootouts was the coolest thing that any 8 year old could have seen. Ann Ramsey was the mo... (read full)

3/4  The Goonies Quick Review
If you don't love the Goonies, you just don't have a soul.

3.5/4  The Goonies Quick Review
Goonies will always be a classic, young teen comedy/adventure. Would be good for younger kids but has a lot of swearing. A great cast of kid actors.

4/4  The Goonies Quick Review
A masterpiece of adventure for children. I loved it when I was six and may love it more today. From an original story to a cast full of great child actors this one really makes me think that I am a GOONIE! See it if you haven't already.

4/4  The Goonies Quick Review
One of those movies that makes me feel like a kid again. A rousing adventure complete with traps, hidden treasure and pirates. It's just plain fun and will never get old.

4/4  The Goonies Quick Review
Steven Spielberg's wonderfully creative children's story that is both funny and enjoyable for children and adults. I can watch this over and over and it doesn't get old.

5/5 Goonies
  by Lynn Reeves (Branford, Florida)
I love this movie. Watched it the first time when it first came out with my children years ago. Now I can watch it with my grandkids and it's just as much fun. It never gets old. One of my faves.

5/5 Nice Blu-Ray Transfer
  by Randal A. Donnelly (Hollister, CA USA)
I'm not sure why there are those that rated the Warner UK Blu-Ray release so low due to picture quality but I found it to be a step above and beyond the DVD release. I experienced no graininess or flickering in dark areas of the film on my 42" Panasonic Plasma. On the contrary, the quality of the picture was outstanding. There were no artifacts, dust or debris and the picture was clean and sharp. The audio, Dolby True HD 5.1, was another huge improvement. The dialoge was clear and the effects were a pleasure to hear from my rear speakers. All-in-all a pleasurable experience. I've always loved this film and this Blu-Ray release makes my favorite film even more enjoyable.

5/5 The Goonies (1985)-Loved it in 1985 and so did my kids!
  by Keith Mirenberg (www.spaceanimations.org)
The Goonies (1985) was a five star film experience for me and my two young boys back in 1985 when we first saw it in the theater. Now that over 20 years have gone by and my boys are grown, I occasionally watch it on DVD and in retrospect, I am a little surprised at some of the lines. I know this film is a cult movie and it probably deserves it, but really didn't see the need for some of the language, like "Oh Sh-t" from Chunk, and so on.

My kids really enjoyed this film and wound up being "influenced" by the flick in a few ways. My wife and I bought a pirates map on fake parchment for them which we had framed and placed in their room which we called a Goonies Map. For a period, my younger boy was interested in pirates, pirate ships and coins, and the family even wound up staying at Pirates Cove (a hotel which featured a full size pirates ship) on a trip indirectly because of this darn film.

That being said, when I screen this old movie with subtitles on I am surprised at some of the things the Goonies say in the course of the entertaining racket. Just an observation, that's all. All in all, a great film and I would still vote it five full stars.



5/5 I may age with time, but not this movie
  by Jennifer
The Goonies is one of those special films that no matter how old you get, it never loses its magic and wonder. I remember seeing The Goonies back in 1987, when I was a young kid, and gosh, it was probably the most entertaining and fun movie I've ever seen in my few years of living.
Now that I've grown up, I'd thought I'd watch the film again to see if that magic and excitment of a great and humorous adventure movie would still be there. Surely it was, to an even greater extent than when I was a kid. Though Sean Austin and Josh Brolin have all grown up now, I still think their best movie is "The Goonies." And the Cindy Laupier song is more catchier than ever. Even the long video is awesome!

5/5 The Greatest Movie of All Time
  by The Tao of Netflix (Washington, DC)
Not sure the point of reviewing the Goonies; its like critically evaluating the architectural design of the Biltmore Estate. As a modern day classic, it stands on its own as the de facto standard for adventure. Die hard fans will note the scene similarity with Twilight - the surfing/beach (the "Push"?) scene.
