The Goonies: 40th Anniversary

It’s time to do the truffle shuffle, because The Goonies is back on the big screen to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Richard Donner’s 1985 childhood adventure comedy (based on a Stephen Spielberg story) follows a ragtag group of kids who embark on a cavernous treasure hunt to try to find riches in order to save their homes in Astoria, Oregon, from being foreclosed. With a stacked cast of kiddos (Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Ke Huy Quan, etc.) and a youthful zeal, The Goonies is an absolutely beloved touchstone among a certain swath of millennials, who might take these screening at the Garland as a chance to ride the nostalgia wave themselves or introduce their kids to the film’s swashbuckling spirit for the first time.
