You Goonie!
What is it about this movie that turns my crank? Could be any of these:
stellar acting by a couple of brat packers or wanna be bpkers... plus the side story of a mom led mobster family complete with horrible accents
the huge levels of slap-stick hilarity
the deformed brother they lock in the basement that loves chocolate
sean astin's braces - man, he is a hottie (at least he was when I was eight, in LOTR, um... not so hot)
Chunk's one liners
Scott had never seen this classic! We rented it and I suppressed the urge to recite it word for word. He hated it. I know it is a little different watching it for the first time when you are as old as he is, but COME ON! I was crushed. I can't be alone on this one. It still made me laugh, hard.
While watching it this time I figured out that sadly this movie and Uncle Buck were the basis of much of my maturing humor and maybe still are.

Haha, I had never seen it either, till Josh. I guess between showings of Louie Anderson's stand-up we were busy watching Star Trek and M*A*S*H. So deprived, Scott and I...
Goonies is a classic! My brother and I would repeately watch it as youngsters...so I too could recite the lines! Baby Ruth!
