The Goonies (1985)
This is the classic Steven Spielberg film, which was written by Chris Columbus and was one of my favorite films when I was a child. You know it's a classic when you can still watch it as an adult. The movie stars Sean Astin (Rudy) as Mikey Walsh stars as a kid whose neighborhood is about to be turned into a golf course. Mikey as well as the others are attached to this neighborhood and call themselves The Goonies. The rest of the Goonies are Mouth (Corey Feldman), Data (Jonathan Ke Quan), Chunk (Jeff Cohen), Mikey's brother Brand (Josh Brolin), Annie (Kerri Green), and Stef (Martha Plimpton) round out the Goonies until Sloth (The Late John Matsuzak) becomes an official Goonie towards the end. So, it's the last weekend they'll be able to hang out together and they need to find a way to get money to keep the neighborhood intact and they can't think of anything until they find a treasure map in Mikey's attic that belonged to a pirate known as One Eyed Willy. So, they embark on the adventure and run into a lot of dangerous tasks like boobie traps and The Fratelli's (A criminal family who has Sloth locked up in a room) while trying to find One Eyed Willies treasure. Their are so many classic lines and moments in this film that I could sit here all day describing each one of my favorites. Do yourself a favor, if you haven't seen this then you have to pick it up. The movie also stars Robert Davi (Showgirls) as Jake Fratelli, Joe Pantoliano (US Marshals) as Francis Fratelli, the late Anne Ramsey (Throw Momma From The Train) as Mama Fratelli, Famed director Richard Donner (Superman II) as a policeman, and Steve Antin (SFW) as Troy Perkins. I love this film and therefore it gets an A+
