Leonard Maltin wasn't alone when he noticed similarities between Goonies and the 1934 Our Gang comedy Mama's Little Pirate. Adapted by Chris Columbus from a story by Steven Spielberg, the film follows a group of misfit kids (including such second-generation Hollywoodites as Josh Brolin and Sean Astin) as they search for buried treasure in a subterranean cavern. Here they cross the path of lady criminal Mama Fratelli (Anne Ramsey) and her outlaw brood. Fortunately, the kids manage to befriend Fratelli's hideously deformed (but soft-hearted) son (John Matuszak), who comes to their rescue. The Spielberg influence is most pronounced in the film's prologue and epilogue, when the viewer is advised that the film's real villains are a group of "Evil Land Developers." The musical score makes excellent use of Max Steiner's main theme from The Adventures of Don Juan, not to mention contributions by the likes of Richard Marx and Cyndi Lauper.

The Goonies (1985)

For many moviegoers, The Goonies epitomizes the '80s family action-adventure. Steven Spielberg assumes the reins as producer in this big-budget effort, enlisting seasoned action-director Richard Donner (Superman) to direct and blossoming screenwriter Chris Columbus (Gremlins) to pen the script. This able trio certainly understands what young audiences want to see, thus fill their narrative with special effects, pirate's treasure, epic sets, and curmudgeonly crooks. The result is a mélange of memorable moments equally thrilling for both adults and children. From the opening jailbreak scene to the wild water slide ride through one-eyed Willie's booby-trapped caverns, this is a relentless, high-octane "Spielbergian" journey starring young protagonists. Although the characters are built on obvious clichés (i.e. the whining fat kid, the homecoming queen, the Asian kid with gadgets), the charming performances and quirky dialogue manage to bring these seemingly stale archetypes to life. This is a film that never talks down to its young audience, creating intelligent teen characters that feel real emotions and face internal and external conflict from all sides. While many consider this film nothing more than a busy and overproduced grab bag of Hollywood hack, others can look back on The Goonies nostalgically. Sloth's drooling shrieks of "BABY RUTH" and "HEY YOU GUYS" may seem a tad trite and corny by today's standards, but these moments are as famous as any other '80s celluloid classics. A string of unimpressive children's adventures such as Russkies would soon follow the release of The Goonies, but the canned plot lines and cardboard characters lacked the heart of Mikey, Mouth, Data, and their colorful cohorts.

The Goonies (1985)

Whether written or directed, Steven Spielberg is always on tap with children. From Close Encounters to E.T., the central child is always a presence. Spielberg is credited with only the story for The Goonies, but the influence is there.

The film is loaded with kids, each an outcast, but banding together to form the title group. Their personalities define childhood, all of them representative of “that kid” from grade school. It’s not that they’re stereotypes (although it’s easy to criticize the film for that) but individuals. They are the type of characters you can get behind.

Yes, they joke and at times seems overly cruel, forcing Chunk (Jeff Cohen) to perform the Truffle Shuffle before letting him into the house. However, they’re kids. It’s more playful than anything. Rooting for them is easy, but in a rare occurrence, as a group. None of them are outright evil; films like this usually featuring one kid who will ruin it for the group, but Goonies breaks that trend. Even the older brother Brand (Josh Brolin) joins in, typically the character of discontent.

Besides characters, Goonies has adventure, a trek through a dark underground cave system in search of a pirate’s gold. Close behind are the Fratelli crime gang, a bumbling crew of Italian gangsters and their deformed brother. It all leads to where you expect it too, that confrontation over the treasure as the villains are all too slow to beat out kids for the riches, but how it gets there is where Goonies left its mark.

There is a lot of nostalgia that drives the continuing popularity of this movie, one of those VHS tapes many an ’80s child wore out in their youth. Why? This is their film, an on-screen look at something they would have loved to do, but couldn’t. That goes for any generation, but this is an ’80s film, and as such, defines that era of growing up. It’s almost irrelevant why they’re searching for treasure, that whole subplot about the house being torn down by land developers secondary. Goonies’ main concern is bringing this crew together, the true sense of camaraderie established between the cast, elevated by a series of enthusiastic performances.
