The cult classic film, The Goonies , is set to grace our television screens this weekend. This will give fans a chance to relive the nostalgia of the 1985 hit movie. Penned by Chris Columbus and based on a story by Steven Spielberg, The Goonies boasts a star-studded cast including Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Martha Plimpton and Ke Huy Quan. Supporting roles are played by John Matuszak, Anne Ramsey, Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano and Mary Ellen Trainor.
The plot revolves around a group of kids from the 'Goon Docks' neighbourhood of Astoria, Oregon, who stumble upon an old treasure map while trying to save their homes from foreclosure. This leads them on an adventure to find the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willy, a 17th-century pirate, reports the Mirror. However, their quest is complicated by a family of criminals who are also after the treasure. Upon its release, The Goonies was a box office success, raking in $125 million from a $19 million budget. It was well-received by critics and has since become a cult classic, with fans returning to it time and again. In 2017, the film earned a spot in the United States National Film Registry, with the Library of Congress selecting it for preservation. It was recognised as 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant,' securing its place among cinema's most honoured titles. The movie has garnered affection from audiences over time, with one Rotten Tomatoes critic noting: 'To this day, I still quote this movie. It's hard not to love this movie.' Another shared their thoughts saying: 'Goonies is an entertaining film and has a cult following of teens from the '80s, who remember the film well. Adults will enjoy watching it with their children, since it's a more subdued family film than what comes out today.' Meanwhile, a third reviewer remarked: 'The Goonies may have been released three and a half decades ago but it stands the test of time
