I’m going to start a little series I like to call…
This installment focuses on The Goonies
This is one of my favorite movies. It came out in 1985 (I was 14) and I must have seen it a few dozen times. It’s got everything a funny kids movie should have. It’s totally quotable, even 20 years later, and has a “Dreams can come true” kind of aura about it. Not to mention it ties in a treasure hunt, and don’t you remember treasure hunts as a kid? The fantastic adventures you could have when armed with a powerful imagination?
Over the weekend, I picked up this movie at Target for $8. Watched it with the kids, and Jaden just loved it, although Sloth scared him and he wanted to turn it off if we weren’t going to watch it with him. I had the movie on VHS but it’s packed away somewhere (we generally don’t watch VHS anymore). And I didn’t realize that, hey, that lead character is Samwise Gamgee! And that other guy, one of the Fratelli brothers - he’s from the Matrix! And (DOUBLE GASP) that older Fratelli brother is on Stargate Atlantis, one of my all-time favorite shows!
So I want to know - which are your favorite scenes?
(Note #1: I’m trying out a new poll plugin for the first time, so I hope it works out ok.)
(Note #2: You can select as many as five (5) of your top favorite scenes.)
(Note #3: If I missed a favorite scene, leave it in as a comment and I’ll add it to the poll.)
