The Goonies. Another comfort movie.
This movie came out when I was in 7th grade. The ads for the movie looked SO good, that I convinced my dad to take me on the last day of school before summer vacation. I remember BEGGING and PLEADING for him to take me - and him finally relenting - and then almost walking out...and then him falling asleep.
I was embarrassed (hello, penis on the statue?) and enthralled. Back in 1985, there weren't a lot of "kid" centric movies that offered the theater experience like The Goonies did. Robbers, killings, chase-scenes through roads and underground tunnels and through down-deep waterfalls and rocky outcroppings in a subterranean location - WOW.
Some of my favorite scenes have Sean Astin (Mikey) in them. This movie was my introduction to Sean and I have loved him ever since.
