This movie is the meaning of the word nostalgia; especially for those of us who were kids when we first saw this movie. It was like we were observers to a great adventure, starting in the dark attic of a beautiful old house in Astoria, to the cool fall weather close to the sea, to the old hideout and the almost cartoonish bad guy characters. What makes this movie a cut above any other treasure hunt movie is how Chunk's ditzy, clumsy character accidentally uncovers the start of this whole Goonies adventure. We don't have some super intelligent character figuring out every clue in the movie. It's what makes this movie much more believable / realistic. It's a lot of fun and still remembered today for a reason!
