About
As of 2026, it's 41 years old.
The Goonies sent a pack of loud, squabbling kids on a pirate-treasure hunt through booby-trapped caves, and it remains the gold standard for the 'group of misfit children have an adventure their parents never find out about' genre. It's chaotic, it's loud, and everyone is yelling over everyone else — which is exactly why it's perfect.
Sloth, the Truffle Shuffle, and 'Goonies never say die' became permanent childhood touchstones.
Rowdy, heartfelt, and gleefully chaotic, The Goonies is the adventure movie that captured the exact feeling of a summer day with no adults and big plans.
