The definite adventure of the 80s, The Goonies ticks almost all the right boxes from the great array of the characters to the great sense of adventure. The buildup with skeletons, pirates and Indiana Jonesy type of adventure works fluently that the actual showdown inside the cove feels rushed in comparison and is even a bit of a letdown. Luckily the movie is redeemed by the last act on the beach.

The Goonies is synonymous to the 80s adventure movie and its charm and magic holds amazingly well after 30 years of its original release.
