Hey You Guys… It’s Goonies Day!

by manz

The mayor of Astoria, Oregon named June 7th Goonies Day in honor of the movie, and the town (where it was filmed) hosts an annual celebration featuring all things Goonies. This year marks the 30th anniversary of The Goonies! It’s kind of hard to believe, but hey, let’s truffle shuffle all day to celebrate this classic!

What’s that? You haven’t met Mikey, Brand, Mouth, Data, Chunk or Sloth yet? Well, there’s no time like the present. In The Goonies a group of kids find a treasure map and decide to go on the hunt for famous pirate One Eyed Willie’s rich stuff, as the money will help save their town from being bulldozed. While on the big quest they meet up with Mikey’s teenage brother and friends, are chased the “bad guys” known as the Fratellis, they meet a superhero in the form of a disfigured man, and maybe, just maybe they find One Eyed Willie. It’s high adventure, total 80s style, and I could watch this movie weekly. Hey you guys!

This is on my list of nostalgic movies to funnel into my children's existence by force. "No kids, none of it was filmed in front of a green screen, but you're going to tremble with excitement and thrill anyway." (I don't actually have that list, but I'm going to make one now)
