The Goonies [DVD] [1985]

I was longing to own this '80s classic on 4K. Sharp colours, clear sound for one of the most fun movies out there. Highly recommended.

If you were born in the late 70’s to early 80’s I’d bet my life on this & that is that this film was loved by yourself & I’d bet that you’ve passed it on to your children & grandchildren, nieces & nephews, Godchildren, it’s classic great cinema that so many people grew up on & it’s under £4, brilliant, absolutely brilliant. And although it’s on TV every Christmas Season & every now & then it still deserves a place amongst my rather small collection of some 20 DVD’s that are my favourite films of all time I have nothing else or need for anything else, now we’re talking from ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ to ‘The Wizard Of Oz’ & from ‘Se7en’ to ’Unforgiven’ , ‘Twelve Monkeys’ & ‘The Goonies’ is now rightfully in there. (nostalgia plays a massive role in me & I’d assume most people owning this classic!).

great

Great for the holl famliy. Arrived in Perfect condition... Love the deleted scene ... 👊👊👊👊👊

Anyone currently in their late twenties up to their late thirties will remember the Goonies and the vast majority will love it. Its a coming of age film which a lot of people can relate to. Also for all those 80s music fans out there the soundtrack, (Cyndi Lauper : The Goonies R Good Enough) is great. Its hard to fault much in this film as it makes me go all dream like. What I would say is it drags its feet alot until the plot really gets going. But you don't mind that because its full of jokes. - Mal, 'Translating,' for Martha the Spanish maid, Mikey getting sprayed at the sink, Chunk eating cream out of a can, Mal's burst bike tyres, Chunk knocking over the statue, (and about one hundred other things!) The plot is all the kids, (the rejects known as the Goonies) are going to have to move to different neighbourhoods because their homes are going to be bought out by compulsory order and demolished. They find One Eyed Willie's treasure map and go on one final adventure through a mini Indiana Jones fun park, (so to speak) with at one point what looks like fantastic water slides! As earlier mentionned there's a lot of funny parts in this film. Chunk has his fair share. When caught by the bad family they threaten to take off his fingers in a food mixer but then he starts crying and going through a whole array of times he had down bad things. - One time he was sick in the cinema and everyone in the audience ending up being sick! One of the captors ends up liking him and finds him funny! Also the other Goonies get him to knock down a door by taunting him about a made up photo of his mum in the bath! Running through the movie are not just one love story but two love stories. The first love story, a traditional one, is between Andi and Brand, (Mikey's older brother). In one scene Andi mistakedly kisses, (with her eyes closed), Mikey and says to her mate. - I didn't realise he, (refering to Brand) wore braces! Its hilarious seeing Mikey's feet getting dragged across the ground. Its a satisfying love story because the jock, Troy, who Andi was initially spending time with doesn't get the girl. (That seems to be a long running theme in Hollywood movies). The second, 'Love,' story is between Chunk, (aka Lawrence) and Sloth. If you haven't ever come across Sloth you can't have been on planet earth since 1985! - A terribly ugly looking character, (a brother of the bad family) but with a big heart. Personally, I believe the friendship between the fat guy and the ugly guy is a shared relationship and fight against the prejudices from society. Its a film with a deeper meaning, certainly a sense of trying to change things : In the Wishing well full of coins the girl who's lost her glasses says to Mal : 'You can't take the coins because they are peoples' dreams, peoples' wishes.' Mal retorts : 'But this one here, this one right here was my dream and it it didn't come true, so I am taking it back.' Mikey : 'Don't you realise? The next time you see sky it will be in another town, the next time you take a test in will be in another school. Our parents they want the best stuff for us, but right now they've got to do what is right for them, because its their time up there. - Down here its our time, thats over the second we ride up in Troy's bucket.' At the end Andi tells Mikey if he keeps kissing girls like he did her, he will have no problems with them, (Mikey to his dad : 'Sorry dad we had our hands on the future, but we blew it to save our own lives,') Data's dad tries to take a photo of his son with disasterous results, Mal and that blond haired girl share a moment, everyone is reunited with their family and perhaps most touching of all Chunk tells Sloth he can live with his family. - 'Goonies never say die.' Long after this film is finished you will have, 'Hey you guys!' ringing in your ears! A Speilberg 80s classic!

Great film,well worth it from Amazon

Brought back some nice childhood memories

Being a fat kid in the 80's was never easy but particularly tough after this film was released, being forced to do the truffle shuffle numerous times has left me traumatised. Thank God there were no smart phones around back then to record such events! On a serious note I bought this film to introduce my 2 teenage daughters to a film I loved and watched endlessly when I was a kid and thankfully they loved it too. On blu-ray it looks fantastic and sounds brilliant through a decent home cinema set up. I still think its a must watch for kids even 35 years after its release.

IN BUONO STATO

Très bon film, nous avons passé un très bon moment....

Watching Goonies in 4k was brilliant! Worked perfect on my PAL panasonic 4k player. Watch this film if you have not already because it's one for the ages!

Well sealed and authentic product, swiftly delivered. Childhood nostalgia. Unfortunately only a few featurettes, but only watched one sofar so maybe still a few surprises. Thanks again Chris Columbus, Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg to having produced such an adventurous storytelling and a clean fun childhood film. Always hoped for a sequel of this somehow for some quest for "rich stuff" ;)
