A really nostalgic, heartwarming tale that transports you back to the innosence of youth, where everything is an adventure and dangers are often overlooked in favour of excitement and the possibility of a hopeful outcome. The Goonies shows off a young cast, full of zest and charm, who deliver their humorous lines with great timing and superb characterisation. The storyline is exciting and memorable, the 'villains' are actually quite loveable and the set design is majestic (in particular the pirate ship, which looked spectacular). The soundtrack and score really gives the movie its sense of magic and suspense however. Dave Grusin really worked hard in creating a score that would stand the test of time. Track 7 on the soundtrack, in particular, is a stand out. Overall, a wonderfully nostalgic, heartwarming adventure caper which showcases a talented cast who all went on to do pretty well in their careers.
