Few movies capture what kids are really like the way that "The Goonies" does. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on how you look at it.
Released in 1985, director Richard Donner's adventure comedy film centers on a group of kids who reside in the "Goon Docks" of Astoria, Oregon. Faced with the foreclosure of their homes, in order to make way for a ritzy country club, these spirited misfits set out to locate the long-lost treasure of an infamous pirate known as One-Eyed Willy. In doing so, the movie's intrepid heroes also end up crossing paths with the Fratellis, a local crime family who's only just broken out of jail when the story begins.
