A film that touched a generation. The Goonies is a perfect example of children’s movie making: it taught us tolerance, perseverance and how to triumph over adversity.

I can’t quite remember exactly why, but the story was about how a group of misfit children went underground in a building to find some pirate gold.

There were more than enough stereotypes enforced in The Goonies too, with a japanese kid called “Data” who had a load of gadgets, a nasty older brother who turned out to have a heart of gold, and a disfigured fool called Sloth who was actually also nice – once you got to know him (and gave him some candy).

Added to those fine characters, we also had “Chunk”, a fat kid who loved his candy, but had an important contribution – namely The Truffle Shuffle!

The Goonies is a film that everyone in my generation has seen at least once, and is rightly repeated during most holiday seasons across the globe. A true movie great. Arguably Spielberg’s best work.
