[@russellcrawley3299]

It really warms my heart to see that after all these years people still have so much love for The Goonies. Greatest movie of my childhood. GOONIES FOREVER!!!!

[@nightgoblin29]

I agree

[@BarryTGash]

My old man took me to see the Goonies when it came out in the UK. I was 7. Best day ever.

[@Apmongoman]

Gotta love the audience's reaction when they brought up the film in question.

[@SmashBros1235]

And now he's both Thanos and Cable.

[@Sepultura510]

I felt like Josh Brolin is one of those people that hates what basically made him famous. I'm glad he still loves it

[@pper79]

Dalton Moen He seems to be nostalgic about Goonies, not so much when it comes to his role in Thrashin' which I loved as a kid.

[@popeye697]

Johnny Cade he hates that too

Dalton Moen how could you hate being a Goonie?

[@Kornknealious]

As an actor, I can fully understand why he wants to move on from his early works.

[@Originella]

They showed us "The Goonies" in my sixth grade English/history class in December of 2005 when I was eleven-years-old. Now, the reasoning behind this was because it was our Christmas party, and school policy was that any film the teachers showed to us had to be PG or under. I remember we had our math and science block before this, and we were coming off a high after watching "Elf", and I, and the rest of the kids, were just charged full of sugar. We get to our English/history block, and "The Goonies" was one of the option. I was raised alongside two older brothers and one younger brother as the only girl, but we'd never seen it growing up. So, I'm rolling my eyes, totally disrespectful towards any 1980's movie that doesn't have "Molly Ringwald" written above the title, and just munching on the treats we got in that class - it's a miracle I didn't get any cavities then (still to this day, this is true), or crash from all the sugar I was willingly ingesting. Our teacher, Mr. Matt, turns it on, and I'm just listening to the overly-loud clock ticking behind me - my middle school was built in the 1950's, and I don't think it's seen a remodel yet - and waiting for my final double block of the day to be over. We're watching it, and everyone's enjoying themselves, and then, suddenly the Fratellis come crashing onto the scene, and then, just a few minutes later, I hear Cyndi Lauper for the first time. Over Christmas break, I got a copy of the DVD and I played it over and over again, just to listen to her sing the title song, because I didn't have a laptop yet or regular access to Google. Still remember that day, nearly fourteen years later...

[@samsquanch1996]

"HOLY SHIT!" lol they should have left that in the movie

[@Buxenwolf]

+samsquanch1996 right? its true what south park creators said about kids "thats how they talk" generally speaking. id be like holy fuck! lol

Goonies was just movie-making perfection. Never could a movie like that be made today.

[@Johnny_Savage]

Nowadays any director willing to use a real ship (among other things) rather than CGI would be fired from the job, and likely the script would be immediately rewritten to purge it from "toxic masculinity" (definition: anything that boys seem to enjoy)

PakistaniCult what kid that age doesn't? It was more real

[@ia5662]

I love hearing that story. They tell it on the bonus content DVD, but how smart and cool was that for Donner to want GENUINE reactions from the kids? Most directors just don't think that way anymore, let alone actors couldn't even picture the real ship because it's probably on some stupid green screen. The attention to detail on a simple kids film is what makes it such a legend. I believed that those kids were actually going through an adventure, and the more I hear these great stories, I think the actors felt they were too. Must have been awesome to be on set!

[@BMeister22]

I like how on the bonus DVD, Richard Donner is telling the story about how they kept the kids from seeing it and a couple of them then admit that they actually snuck in and saw the ship beforehand. I think it was Corey Feldman and Sean Astin.

[@hewgrebe4771]

I own that disc and all the boys in the cast peeked at the boat. But how all of the work Richard Donner did to really keep the kids from seeing the boat.

The only thing as good as "The Goonies" is Cyndi Lauper's music video for the theme song "Goonies 'r' Good Enough". Cyndi will always be the Queen of Camp!

[@Salty.Peasants]

She hated that song, though I don't know why, because it was better than most of the pop trash from the 80's.

[@47imagine]

Totally agree

[@brushyoteef8922]

SALTY Peasents Always Need Salt She didn't hate the song. She hated that the movie or music video wasn't what the song was about

[@frauleinmona]

Cyndi doesn't hate the song at all. She said in her biography when she met with Spielberg to discuss the music video with him, he presented his idea for it and she told him that she had a different vision for the video. And unfortunately, Spielberg didn't like it. So, she was disappointed about that. But she likes the song a lot. She still sings it when when she tours.

@Brush Yo TEEF. Absolutely! 😊👍

[@robpegler6545]

We were actually talking about the Goonies a week or so back (when Donner was talking about the sequel again) and trying to recall who played all the kids. We remembered Corey Feldman, of course, and Sean Astin, and Martha Plimpton (I had to look up her name, but I knew her face) but it's never occurred to me until this moment that Josh Brolin played the older brother.
