It only took a quarter of a century, man that sounds like a LONG time.
I wish we would find out the legal mambo jumbo as to what held this up for so long. I, myself, find the legal part of this stuff, VERY interesting.
I think this thread is destined to be one of the longest in FSM's history.

I'm with Schiffy on the film itself - I cannot stand it and find it insufferable, worse now than when I first saw it. However, Grusin's score is very melodic and wonderfully orchestrated and it's the one thing about the film, for me, that works perfectly.

Absolutely pumped about this release. Can't wait to hear it.

Just the other day I was wearing a Goonies shirt and the checker at the store smiled and told me how much she loves the film and how her kids now love it. Twenty five years later and now another generation is discovering it. It's not high art, but it's a great kids flick with a dynamite score by Grusin.

Absolutely ordered! This is one I've wanted for a long time and thought was buried deeper than pirate's treasure.

"The Goonies" is polarizing based on when you were born, apparently. I'm 45, and nobody my age thinks of this movie as anything but a ridiculous joke.
I was in my early 20s when this came out, too, and it's the only movie I ever walked out on, about halfway through. I expected a lot more from Richard Donner during that period. Ironically, that same weekend I caught Siskel and Ebert reviewing the film and advising that if you just stick it out until, say, the halfway point, the film does finally get better.

That's a funny Goonies tale MV. Such story happened to me, here in France.
I'm a 35 yo school teacher. One day, two years ago, I wear my grey Goonies T-shirt :
It was in june, a hot day so I put my sweat-shirt off, showing my precious T-shirt and one of my pupils, who was 10 yo said "Cool, the Goonies !". I was both very surprised to see that another generation could be fan of this movie and very proud of him !
Greatest batch since a very long time indeed, yes !

As I recall, the movie did make money, it was a modest success.
