      OK, so perhaps "The Goonies" isn't exactly a 'nice' kids' movie. But it's a *real* kids' movie.
      Definite influence on "Stranger Things." Yes, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, and KH Quan have been around FOREVER. It's been so many years--- I actually forgot how they go full "It's a Wonderful Life" at the end.

    "Is this a kids' movie?!" Actually, yes. Too many "well-meaning" adults would probably banish all types of scary images from stories. TV and movies to "protect" children, which on the surface is OK. But exposing kids to such scenes -- and really, these are comparatively tame -- strengthens their exposure to The Real World. Besides, how do you determine what is too scary? A friend once remarked that the Haunted Forest scene in "The Wizard of Oz" is one of the scariest scenes for a young child. It certainly was for me when I was 6. But I turned out normal -- well, relatively so. This is why today's movies aren't as good as the ones we grew up with. Too many well-meaning officials thinking they know everything about storytelling.

    International maritime salvage law states that a lost ship and its items belong to the first person or group to successfully retrieve and bring back part of the find. This means that even if the gems in Mikey's bag aren't enough, they give him and the Goonies claim to all the treasure found on the entire ship. Probably enough to keep them from having to sell their houses.

    Yeah, this is a kids' film. It was very different in the 80s, of course, it wasn't perfect, it had a lot of problems. But there are some things that definitely were much better, and kids' movies are one of them. They weren't afraid to show scary things, smoking, death, and many things that are now considered off-limits for kids, because they knew that kids were smarter and tougher, they knew they could handle it. It also helped that kids were literally playing outside until it got dark, having their own adventures.

    true story from an 80's kid:
    my parents were going to the video store and asked if i wanted to rent anything. i asked for The Goonies. for some reason, they thought i wanted to rent schlockey b-horror movie The Ghoulies. instead of the movie i had been dying to see, i got evil Tribbles.
    why the hell my parents would think i wanted that instead of, ya know, the biggest kid's movie on the planet at the time, is beyond me.

The Goonies is probably one of the best works by director Richard Donner, who also did Superman, the Lethal Weapon movies and The Omen. I also love how this movie was originally conceived by Steven Spielberg and he never ceases to amaze audiences with the stories he tells in film.

    The 80's were a crazy time. They were able to get away with a lot of dark and twisted stuff in kid's movies. The PG-13 (no children under 13 allowed unless accompanied by a parent) rating didn't even exist in the U.S. until 1984. So they were only really starting to crack down on what movie content was appropriate for kids of certain ages. Often, they didn't even know what was inappropriate until a bunch of parents complained about something.

Return to Oz was messed up, as well, but I believe that it came out the same year as The Goonies, so I was a little older and a bit desensitized at that point, so it only creeped me out (but it probably traumatized my younger brother and sister).
