Undervalued on release, Richard Donner’s adventure flick is now firmly cemented as a kids’ classic. Christopher Columbus’ treasureseeking story is textbook stuff, but with indelible characters, memorable set-pieces and a still-stirring rich vs. poor subtext. Donner directs with assurance, capturing the Goonies’ delightfully coarse, naturalistic banter in agile, empathetic takes. The cast is one of cinema’s best adolescent ensembles, making this a gang every kid wants to join. Simon Kinnear
