The Goonies

(Richard Donner, US 1985, 116 min., 35mm)

Dryden Kids | Halloween. A group of misfit kids in the Pacific Northwest find a map and go in pursuit of One-Eyed Willy’s pirate treasure, hidden in their beachfront community. Their chief obstacles are a series of treacherous tunnels, booby-trapped caves, and the villainous Fratellis, a family of thieves who also want the booty. Produced and co-written by Steven Spielberg, the cast of mostly then-unknowns includes Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Martha Plimpton, Corey Feldman, Ke Huy Quan, and Joe Pantoliano. A cult favorite among those former youngsters who saw it on its first release, it’s also perfect viewing for contemporary young audiences. Free for 17 & under.
