The Goonies, good enough for me . . .

I really love "The Goonies." Still, I can’t imagine what the producers were thinking filling a kids movie with so much profanity and suggestive humor (parents beware). Putting that aside (if you’re lucky enough to have a copy taped from edited TV, so much the better), this is one of my favorite Halloween films (though technically, it is really a pirate treasure movie). It is filled with wit and charm. This is one of my favorite scenes:

And I absolutely loved Cyndi Lauper’s voice when I was a kid. This is the first time I’ve ever seen the music video though:

In parting, I leave you with this hillarious mock trailer of Goonies vs. Pirates of the Caribean:

Still, even though I personally enjoy this film, I cannot reccomend it due to its corrupting influences (hem hem) . . . unless you tape it when its playing on the family channel. ;-)
