I think that this movie is precious to all of us who grew up in the 80's❤❤❤❤❤
Josh Brolin was on Steven Colbert's talk show not too long ago and he was taking the Questionaire. One of them was "What do you think happens when we die?" and Josh didn't answer right away and someone in the audience yelled out, "Goonies never say die". It was awesome.
14:57 Most people don't seem to get this part. Look at the smile on Mikeys' face. He gave it to Chunk because he knew he was going to break it. He counts down from five and bam, Chunk drops it.
I'm from the PNW and I hope you liked seeing Astoria Oregon. A real place that celebrates Goonies every year and have local tours all the time.We rock in the north west 🤘
Donner made sure the Goonies didn't get to see the Ship set until they landed in the Water, so their expressions were real!
Remember when we all said Star Wars Skeleton Crew was space Goonies? Well now you understand.
As a child of the 80s this was one of my favorite movies. Frankly its still one of my all time faves. It hurts my heart that you guys don't know Corey Feldman, one of the 2 Coreys of the 80s.
Sean Astin is so earnest and adorable here I can’t get over it even after all these years. Like I’m a full on adult now and he’s just the best.
*Wow talk about a nostalgic childhood classic.* 👌🏾🤩
