'The Goonies' is a fantasy adventure with a swashbuckling spirit. It's about a group of kids trying to find some buried treasure in order to stop their homes being demolished. One Eyed Willie's pirate ship in the film, The Inferno, was 105 feet long and took about 10 weeks to construct; it was modeled after Errol Flynn's ship in 'The Sea Hawk' (1940).

Shooting in the Pacific Northwest hasn't always been easy but some filmmakers have relished the challenges it offers. Take Curtis Hanson for example, who scored a major box-office hit with the psycho thriller 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle' (1992) which was set in Washington. He filmed this picture in the cities Issaquah, Seattle and Tacoma. With strong box-office returns, Hanson was then able to jump straight on to 'The River Wild' (1994), a dangerous adventure for which rural locations were scouted in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. By shooting in several different states, Hanson was once again able to bring a raw authenticity to his work in the crime genre.
"If you’re a cinephile visiting Los Angeles, you’ll have a crowded itinerary, but make time for an evening at the New Beverly Cinema. In previous lives, the theater was a candy factory and vaudeville house, but now the theater, owned by Quentin Tarantino, is a mecca for fans of celluloid and camp that pairs silver screen gems every evening. When I visited the New Beverly, I caught a Curtis Hanson double feature. New Bev patrons will confirm that it can be easy to bow out after the first flick, but that wasn’t the case with Hanson’s work. The audience was titillated, laughing, gasping, groaning, shouting, shielding their eyes, cringing, grinning — totally enthralled.
Hanson, who directed 17 features and wrote eight, died yesterday at age 71 in his Los Angeles home. The film industry is mourning; obituaries are appearing. And movie buffs, myself included, are queuing up a weekend’s viewing. To dive into Hanson’s filmography is to realize how thoroughly and quietly the director made an impression on American cinema. His oeuvre is varied, ambitious and relatively unbranded."

"The Republic of Cascadia would bring together Washington State, Oregon and British Columbia. Proponents of the new country (which has little chance of ever becoming a reality) say the approximately 14 million residents of "Cascadia" should demand their freedom from the oppressive governments of Canada and the U.S. "For too long have our people put up with indifference ... from distant seats of power," they write on the Republic of Cascadia website. Supporters point to the words of Thomas Jefferson, who apparently never intended that the U.S. reach all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
Abundant in both natural and industrial resources, home to giant corporations like Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and Nike, and host to the Hollywood of the North (Vancouver), the country would likely prosper. Socially, it would probably be one of the most liberal countries in the world. While conservatives call much of the rural eastern side of Washington and Oregon home, liberals inhabit the much-larger cities of Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, where all things eco-friendly and organic reign supreme. A far more conservative movement farther north, in Alaska, seeks to make that vast, remote state an independent country."

"Hey you guys!" The town from everyone's favorite '80s movie "The Goonies" is actually a real place. Not only that, but it's also quite charming. Much of the cult classic was filmed in Astoria, Oregon, and some of the most iconic scenes take place on Cannon Beach. Maybe you knew this already or maybe you didn't; either way, it's never a bad time to relive some serious movie magic and make a trip of it.
Astoria is a small, alluringly gloomy town of not even 10,000 people. Despite its size, Astoria has seen its fair share of industry (it's the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies, after all). Founded as a fur-trading post, it subsequently became the center of the country's commercial salmon industry and home to the Bumble Bee tuna factory. The Bumble Bee factory closed down in the 1980s, however, forcing Astoria to reinvent itself yet again.
Today, Astoria's main industry is tourism, Micah Dugan of The Oregon Film Museum told the BBC. With the impending "Goonies" sequel, now is a great time to visit this resilient little spot. BBC Travel has some great tips for retracing the steps of Mikey, Brand, Chunk, Mouth, Andy, Stef, Data and the Fratelli family, including the beloved Sloth. For instance, you can drive by the house where Mouth (played by Corey Feldman) lived and the famous Goondocks house, where brothers Mikey (Sean Astin) and Brand (Josh Brolin) lived."

"Growing up in the eighties was just simply awesome. And while we didn’t have a lot of really cool high-tech things to play with, our time was mostly filled with wrecking on our bikes, catching bugs, and of course wishing we were a Goonie. 'The Goonies', among other great movies like 'The Ghostbusters' comes from a time when they really made a lot of great kids movies. The movies today for kids aren’t bad, but I feel most of them can’t even touch the movies we grew up with.
'The Goonies' was a huge part of my childhood, and to this day remains one of my favorite movies ever made. While my children maybe don’t have the same love for it that us eighties babies did, they still appreciate the flick. Personally, I have yet to return to the Goondocks, the fictional town that takes place in The Goonies and was actually Astoria, Oregon. As a native Oregonian writing this, I can’t wait to see all these Goonies filming locations myself.
Probably one of the most popular tourist attractions for Goonies lovers was The Goonie’s House in Astoria, better known as Mikey’s house. While the owner today has unfortunately decided to block the place off to tourists, we can only hope someday they change their mind. If you do try and go here to get a glimpse, make sure and be respectful (and of course you would anyway, right?) In the meantime, there are plenty of other Goonies spots you’ll be able to visit!"

'The Goonies' is directed by Richard Donner from a screenplay by Chris Columbus who expanded upon an original story frame by Steven Spielberg. It's been described as one of the Oregon tourist board's greatest assets and there are now multiple tours in operation for fans keen to visit some of the film's shooting locations. Donner brought in an ideal cinematographer, Californian cameraman Nick McLean, who'd studied shooting natural light for many years while working as Vilmos Zsigmond's camera operator on projects that included two for Spielberg's finest films, the crime drama 'The Sugarland Express' (1974) and the epic science-fiction 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' (1977).
The music for 'The Goonies' is composed by Dave Grusin and has become a bestselling soundtrack. Grusin's music is augmented by Cyndi Lauper's pop song 'Goonies R Good Enough'. In his wisdom as producer, Spielberg appointed Lauper as his musical director, which led to her bringing in her friends The Bangles for 'I Got Nothing'. Lauper also contributed her wild rockabilly number 'What A Thrill'.
"It was the film that terrified thousands of teenagers in the 1980s, about a psychotic killer who stalked and butchered teens in their dreams. And while the original 1984 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' became a cult horror classic, the 2010 remake, directed by Samuel Bayer and starring Rooney Mara and Kellan Lutz, was widely slashed (yep, we went there) by critics - despite a healthy intake at the box office. Now, the writers of the original Elm Street screenplay, Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer, have revealed that their original idea was nothing like what Bayer went with. In fact, it was so much more disturbing...
Speaking to Bloody Disgusting, the writers said they wanted the reboot to be "a twisted version of The Goonies", in order to beef up the fact that psycho-slasher Freddy Krueger was a child molester. "We thought it would have been great for a remake to switch the teenagers of the original with real kids," they explained. "Our idea of a good remake is to have a new vision on the same thematics. Here, it was to really use the fact that Krueger is a child molester. So the idea was to have a twisted version of the Goonies with a bunch of kids being stalked."
Written and directed by Wes Craven, the first 'Nightmare on Elm Street' featured Johnny Depp in his feature film debut. Set in the fictional Midwestern town of Springwood, Ohio, the plot revolves around several teenagers who are stalked and killed in their dreams (and thus killed in reality) by Krueger. The teenagers are unaware of the cause of this strange phenomenon - though it turns out that their parents have a rough idea.
Strick and Heisserer added: "Childhood is the moment in life when you are truly and deeply frightened by nightmares, when you're not able to see the difference between reality and dreams." We're scared just reading it..."

'The Goonies' provoked kids all over the world to perform the "truffle shuffle" which became a phenomenon on the scale of moonwalking, b-boy spinning and twerking. The character Andy has been celebrated by music journalists covering the 'Riot Grrrl' movement which successfully united Oregon and Washington in the 1990s ('Riot Grrrl' drew ideas from California's burgeoning "baby doll" musical movement which had begun in the mid-1980s). The 'Riot Grrrl' movement platformed major feminist outfits like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Heavens To Betsy, The Frumpies, Excuse 17, Bangs and Sleater-Kinney.
"It's hard not to love Cyndi Lauper. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter's takes on "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," "Time After Time" and "All Through the Night" are distinctly '80s, yet somehow timeless, much like her unique sense of style. Perhaps the lone Lauper lament among "Goonies" fans is that her anthemic contribution to the "Goonies" soundtrack, "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough," doesn't even mention the Goonies in the lyrics. Like, at all. Even the music video, which replicates the Goonies' pirate-ship adventure, casts some of the then-WWF's greatest wrestling stars in lieu of the Goons. Since they went that route, would it have been too much to ask to have Sloth take on the Iron Sheik at Nassau Colosseum?"

"Nick Cannon wants Hollywood to start making movies the way it used to. He wants to see more dream-haunting kiddie fare like "The Goonies," "The Lost Boys" and "Gremlins," where characters battle spectacular beings and are placed in actual danger — and sometimes die. He wants to see more flicks like the ones that thrilled a generation two decades ago — even if he was young enough back then to count his age on one hand.
"I can't wait to sit down and see the response from all the kids, because that's the purest response we have as a movie-going audience. ... If they're scared, then we're all scared. If they think something's funny, they're gonna laugh louder than anybody." Cannon got over his leotard embarrassment when he saw one of his co-stars squeezed into the suit.
"This definitely has that 'Goonies' feel," the 24-year-old star recently said of his new movie "Monster House," a shockingly twisted CGI cartoon that also features the voices and motions of Jon Heder, Jason Lee and Maggie Gyllenhaal. "To me, and my generation as we were coming up, that was our cult classic. 'Monster House' will definitely tap into the same younger audience, and they will be able to say, 'This is our style of horror film.' "
Before the kids start making that claim, however, Cannon wants others with fond memories of those '80s classics to know that "House" — produced by "Goonies" overseer Steven Spielberg and "Back to the Future" creator Robert Zemeckis — will also earn a special place in their hearts. "When you have Zemeckis and Spielberg involved, it's gonna be the next level," the star grinned. "You know it's going to be something cool, and at the same time anybody in your family can enjoy it."

In 2017, 'The Goonies' was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". When reacting to news about a 'Gremlins' reboot earlier this year, Columbus was quick to dampen expectations for a possible 'Goonies' sequel, though the oft-floated idea of producing a remake hasn't been totally ruled out either. If there is a 'Goonies' sequel, Columbus said the producers would need to factor in that all the original 'goonie squad' actors have become long in the tooth.

'The Goonies' has a huge fanbase here in the UK. Its impact on British popular culture and traditional family life can't be underestimated. It's brought a lot of good feeling to the streets and helped raise money and awareness for all manner of good causes. Cosplayers have dressed as their favourite characters from the film for public events and vintage 'Goonies' merchandise still sells at auction. Richard Donner has been pleasantly surprised to find he's often being asked about the film whenever he visits Europe. If you've not seen it before, check it out.
"Picture, if you will, a Midlands household circa 1990. Cable TV was still a distant dream and cinema trips were a rarity what with the newest addition to my family still on hourly feeds. Film choices were dictated via the somewhat arbitrary whim of my dad, perhaps popping into the local VHS shop to grab a copy of whatever would entertain three kids for an hour or two. Several Looney Tunes box sets later and we arrived at Spielberg's 1985 cult classic, 'The Goonies'.
My childish enthusiasm for pirates had just begun to manifest itself. Dinosaurs were gradually falling out of favour, to be replaced by people called Blackbeard or Peg-Leg Pete. It didn't take long before names such as One-Eyed Willy (alleged Captain Pugwash-esque double entendre and all) entered my vocabulary.
To my youthful imagination, the movie basically depicted what my life was like. I rode around on bikes with my friends! I liked making elaborate games and toys out of bits of string and cardboard! I had an attic! All I had to do was dig out an old treasure map in our loft and I'd be just like Mikey (Sean Astin) and Mouth (Corey Feldman). Unfortunately my dad was less keen on the idea of me falling through our roof insulation, and I didn't have many Asian friends with a penchant for gadgets.
By this point, 'ET' was passé among my friends and me. We'd decided it was "too unrealistic". Instead we spent hours crafting our own imitation treasure maps, painstakingly rubbing them with old teabags and staining them with spices plucked at random from the cupboard, because most pirates' hands were covered with paprika and Tetley's after a hard day's seafaring. A permanent fixture on these culinary cartographies was a ship labelled the Inferno: One-Eyed Willy's own pirate ship. We'd follow these maps around the local woodland (inexplicably) and dig at random, occasionally coming across old Coke cans or even a crisp packet. While I'm fairly sure One-Eyed Willy's treasure didn't consist of some half-rotted copies of Penthouse, we certainly felt like we were having adventures – or at least being mildly daring."

"A blood donor carer is planning a charity screening to raise funds for the families of those who died or who were left with life-changing injuries as a result of the Manchester Arena attack. Emma Galasso, aged 25 from Radcliffe, said she and her colleagues at Manchester Norfolk House Blood Donor Centre were inundated with volunteer donors in the aftermath of the bomb blast. Just over one year on, the team of around 22 people has organised a screening of the family classic 'The Goonies' to raise money for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.
Ms Galasso said: "We work in the city centre and saw the impact of what happened. In the three months after the attack, we had 900 extra people donating blood. We just want to help in any way that we can. We want to raise as much money as possible to help those who suffered life-changing injuries, whether physical or psychological. We want to give something back."
Inspired by a visit to Flashback Cinema where she watched a screening of the classic musical fantasy film 'Labyrinth', Ms Galasso came up with the idea to showcase a film. VUE Cinema, based in The Printworks, have kindly donated a screen free of charge for their event on Sunday, June 17, which coincides with Father's Day.
Ms Galasso said: "We asked all of our donors what their favourite family film was. We had a huge list. We discounted Disney and narrowed it down to a top six. The staff at work then voted for their favourite. 'Grease' was a strong contender. Everyone was behind the idea."
