Almost 40 years after its release, <I>The Goonies</i> is still one of the greatest adventure films of all time (thanks to Steve Spielberg and Richard Donner's contributions to the film). The cult-classic packs together a fantastic cast and storyline, and will have you screaming "HEY YOU GUYS" at the top of your lungs for years to come.
In 2020, the cast and crew reunited over Zoom during the Covid-19 pandemic, which can be viewed <A HREF="https://youtu.be/-SF_VyXQpyo?si=wP9GfRI67KA-GC9O">here</A>.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A rollicking adventure through booby-trapped caves where a ragtag group of kids discover that friendship and loyalty matter more than treasure. It's infectious chaos with a warm heart, the kind of film that makes you want to explore, conspire, and cheer for the underdogs.
