Comfort Movie: The Goonies (1985)

Is in the middle of doing an assignment but I got bored and decided to write about a favorite movie of mine... The Goonies.

Nothing particularly special about The Goonies, it's not even the kind of movie I'd actually take a great liking to, but I like it, like actually love it? A bittersweet reminder of good old childhood days, I don't know but I always have a soft spot for the soft edges of an eighties American movie, no matter how ridiculous.

And yes he's (was?) also Will Byers' dorky, lovable almost-stepdad but I used to have the biggest crush on Mikey Walsh, aka the poster boy of Good American Movie Boy.
