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.

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 !
Love it. I'm a 38 year old school teacher (5th grade) and have a Goonies shirt as well. One of these days I'll pony up and wear it to school!

What's interesting, I think, the many who don't like the Goonies like our 40 and plus age range. When I consider let's say some board members who are 60, when you think of what films they had as kids, it's almost laughable, Plan 9 from Outer Space, he he he hee, or even some of our older folks, like watching Camille Greta Garbo where it's VERY melodramatic, must of it. To each his own.
I think to really appreciate this film, you had to be in a certain age range when you first saw it. Me, I was 8 and to walk these kids, not rich, poor like me, find a map and go on a fun adventure, who WOULDN'T want to do that as a 6-14 year old age range?
I still really enjoy adventure films very much. The characters were fun, you knew them, they were heartfelt and funny. So many character today, if/when they die in a film, your like good riddance. I mean House of Wax remake, they couldn't kill Paris Hilton's character soon enough.
For a grown man to watch let's say the Goonies when it came out in 85, I can only imagine, they would hate it. It would be like me watching the Mighty Morfin Power Rangers film made several years ago, I never saw it, have no desire to and most likely wouldn't like it. I bet the younger folks who watched that love it and will always have fond memories.
I think it is neat, the one aspect, almost everyone is in agreement is the score, home run !!
