The Goonies [Blu-ray]

Hi. If you're like me, you're a dad who concerns himself with what his children watch. You also want to show them things form your childhood. Don't. At least not until you watch them again. You'll feel differently. I LOVED this movie as a kid, as an adult, I still love it. However, as an adult with young children 10 and under, I watched it again and this time noticed all the cuss words, sexual innuendos and dirty one liners I completely missed all these years. New ears to hear. I encourage you to be cautious when showing to kids blindly. In fact, I'm going to do the same for all my childhood 'kids' movies. Found the same thing with Flight of the Navigator, love that movie, but man does it have more unsuitable content in it than I realized!

Don't get me wrong, I love the version that you get on DVD or even on Prime HOWEVER, it is not the original cut of the movie and that is what I have been searching for. For those that saw it on reel and not on VHS or DVD, the scene that is missing is the octopus scene. The line when they are being interviewed on the beach talks about the attack of the octopus which for some reason or another was removed before going to the VHS and DVD as well as Prime version. I saw it every summer for five summers at Camp Seafarer. I am disappointed that the scene I liked so much has since been removed. Bring back the original cut and I would buy it today!

I am a child of the 80’s and this is by far my all-time favorite film. I can’t explain it, but no other movie gives me the the kind of feelings that this film does. No matter how old you are, watching The Goonies brings you back to that childhood moment when anything was possible. To me this is more than a movie and almost an escape from reality of adult responsibility... and I cherish that for the close to hours this gives me. I also have my kids loving the movie so it will continue for another generation.I believe that this film should be required viewing for everyone and could easily solve most of the major issues plaguing our society. We are all Goonies, we just need to let that side out more.

Grandparental Warning Required! If you are a Grandparent you must have this painfully silly kid adventure film in your library for babysitting purposes. How this film attained cult status from around the world is beyond this grandad, but Spielberg always manages to get the goose to lay the golden egg. Last year purportedly 15,000 people came to Astoria, Oregon where the movie was filmed 30 years ago. I live across the Columbia River from Astoria and a friend of mine grew up in the house next door when the movie was filmed. Remember the Rube Goldberg machined the boys put together? My friend has the egg used in the movie to start the contraption! It's actually a machined ball-bearing ground down to an egg and painted white. Bottom line, it's a memory shared first with my babies and now my grandbabies.

This is by far the best movie of my childhood and I'm 41 now, I have children of my own and it's still great and they love it to "Goonies never say die ". I still want to be a Goonie , my wife and I went to Astoria Oregon last year and even saw the jail and the house that was in the movie ! I recommend it to young and old !

So after explaining to my "Hobbit" obsessed teen daughter for the umpteenth time that I knew who Sean Astin was, I would point out the Goonie vhs tape in the bookshelf to which she would roll her eyes and mutter something about the "dark ages". So when I saw it on DVD, yes, I snatched it up. It didn't hurt that the price was so nice either. So the night came, the "Mom Get's to Pick" night and yes, Mom popped in The Goonies. When it was over, the chorus from my teen and her best friend was "Oh, Mikey, he was so cute...you really do know him." It didn't hurt that Martha Plimpton, famous as Virginia from Raising Hope in this house, and Josh Brolin, just famous, are in it as well. A funny little unexpected treat was seeing my 17 year old recognize Mary Alice Trainer, the mom, as the protagonist from our favorite Christmas horror episode of one of the serial shows, maybe Tales from the Darkside...she goes up against a demented Santa played by Larry Drake from "The Dentist" and "LA Law".

A great film that amuses and entertains. There is lots of action and adventure, with a really good story, music and brilliant comic villains. The special effects might slightly disappoint those brought up on modern 'eye-popping' CGI. However, the effects are very good and, for me, have stood the test of time. One minor negative, in my view - the child characters' dialogue is a bit shouty and fast at the start.

Saw this years a go, and it was quite noisie film. Has some good parts,mainly the mother of the bad ones. Still a bad film to enjoy

I first saw this movie when I was a kid back when it first came out. Yes I'm THAT old.A bunch of friends (The Goonies) go on an epic adventure to find some pirate treasure and end up saving their homes and town in the process. It's full of adventure, danger, tricks and traps. The bad guys (the Fratellis) are hilarious too. All these years later I can still watch this movie and thoroughly enjoy it (hence my Blu-ray purchase). This one goes to prove that you don't have to fill a movie with sex, violence and swearing to enjoy a movie. Thank you to Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg for making this fantastic movie at just the right time in my life.Now excuse me while I go do the Truffle Shuffle.

I like the picture on the case. This blu-ray is lovely. I adore this film and have enjoyed watching it with my friends. I happened upon this blu-ray while looking to get a copy of the film after finding out someone I knew hadn't seen it, so I felt in my duty to snag this and show him what he has been missing. Plus, it's always nice to have a copy of goonies close by.

My favorite film of all times, The Goonies and the steelbook is in good condition too
