Watch The Goonies For Free

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Absolutely the worst movie.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I am a complete sucker for the kid/teen oriented movies of my youth. I will watch, eagerly, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, Vacation, Ghostbusters, The Lost Boys, and more. The Goonies is on that list for many. But not me. It is just So Stupid. I recently rewatched it, but only because I haven't seen it in any significant manner since I first saw it when I was 15. It is still awful. Not camp, not fun, just stupid. Everything is so telegraphed a mile in advance, so obviously set up that it's not perilous, interesting, or funny.There are a thousand ruined gags, but just take one as it's simple to explain. At the house before they all leave, one of the kids jumps and sits on the kitchen counter. But no, he sits in the sink. IN. The Sink. Then, someone else as a minor prank turns on the water to the sink. Minor hijinks. Guy sitting in sink is surprised he gets wet. But dude, you are in a sink. No one does this. No one acts even a little like any of these people. I was a kid then, and basically the same age as these actors. They are not exaggerated versions of 80s kids, but are made up Hollywood cartoon kids. No one acts like this. At all. Fake reality is what we go to movies for. Fakey fakeness is what? Nothing I care about. Still. 30 years on, I still hate this movie.

I have watched this classic many, many times and was the sort of 80's film I grew up with as a child. HEY YOU GUYS!!!

I grew up in the ninties and so I could've easily seen The Goonies when I was a kid, but for whatever reason (maybe the language) I never did.I watched The Goonies for the first time in my life this year as a young adult and despite the fact that I was watching through 2017 eyes, I was instantly brought back to my childhood. As if I knew the characters in this movie when I was a kid. As if I had seen the movie countless times as a kid.The Goonies is such a wonderful mixture of fantasy, adventure, wonder, excitement, exploration, and humor; combined with the classic Spielberg style, it's a film that makes a lasting impact and leaves you wanting more.Since watching the film, I've been looking for others like it, but to no avail. No number of "movies like the goonies" Google searches seems to be enough. I've been left to conclude, at least for the time being, that The Goonies is unmatched in the authentic mid-1980s adventure that it embodies.

I had the displeasure of watching this on TV. People were talking about how it was a classic, so it immediately got me excited for the film, because I usually love classics before the 90's.Anyway, I'm still a bit confused why this is considered a classic. Apparently, if you have a film with unlikable characters that always scream, you are considered to be a quality film.People calling this a classic is like comparing it to Indiana Jones, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Escape From New York, ET, hell, even Star Wars...believe me, this film deserves no place in that category at all.I'm going to expand on this review later, but if you go to see this, just bear in mind what I said about unlikable, screaming characters...
