The movie The Goonies was released in theaters, becoming a cult classic adventure film directed by Richard Donner and produced by Steven Spielberg.
Principal photography for The Goonies began in Astoria, Oregon, marking the start of production on this iconic 80s adventure film.
The main cast, including Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, and Corey Feldman, were cast for the film, setting the stage for the characters that would define the movie.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
