    Definitely one of the top 3 movies I saw as a kid and still watch on a regular basis today. I too made the pilgrimage to Astoria in 07 and stopped by the Goonies house. Took a couple of pics next to it, then went down to Canon Beach to see the haystacks. Really neat area. As a kid I thought it was filmed in Astoria, Queens!!

    The thing I learned from that movie is that pirates had unlimited time and money to come up with elaborate boobie-traps, like an organ made out of bones that had some kind of contraption to make parts of the floor drop if the wrong note was hit.

    Seriously, were there pirate-contractors using pirate-scaffolding to create that contraption?


    ...I saw that movie 7 times in the theater when that came out 25 years ago. :D

    My day to reply to the Hoff, I guess. As a Simpsons' fan, surely you recall the scene (in someone's imagination) where the pirates are burying their treasure and the one kind of fem pirate says something like, "I know we usually bury all the treasure, but what if this time we used it to buy things we like?" Of course, the gruff pirate captain shoots the guy dead on the spot. :lol:


    I do remember that! T'was a good line. :D

    FINE. Here it goes then. Ever see her in 'Parenthood'? Where IN THE FUCK does she get off being the slutty daughter who has a boyfriend with the looks of Keanu Reeves(And, yes, I'm a dude. I can just admit when a man is handsome.)??? Seriously. The casting director for that movie should be shot or someone owed her father a favor or something cause there's noooo way she should've been in that role. Get someone who would've made more sense - like Nicole Eggert or someone. The real Martha Plimpton would be kissing the feet of Keanu Reeves and giving him blowjobs while he's on the can in the morning if this was reality. Ugly lady. No where near a childhood crush. Martha Plimpton = my blood boiling.


    Ahhhhh, all better.

    As a woman and a freshman year in college "lesbian" I completely disagree. Martha Plimpton was, is and always will be hot. Though no longer a freshman, I can still appreciate her hot kinda nerdy quality.

    It's her voice i think as well, really loved her in 200 Cigarettes. it's like liking your older sister's best freind when your 12 and shes 16, she may not be the hottest but she's there at that age and you just gets fixated.

    You mean "Data"? That kid must have had a blast as far as child actors go though. I mean he gets to be Data in Goonies, and he gets to be Short-Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

    Great to see everyone joined in. I remember watching Bands Reunited and someone would always hold out
    would be difficult to make a sequel, would have to probably go the Vacation route and have their kids as the new leads

    @Corduroyboy OMG you went there, amazing! This film was our favourites growing up and we used to watch it on video every Saturday. I'm 43 now and his film takes me back to my childhood in the 80's.
