The Goonies

40 Years

The sheer number of talented people who worked on The Goonies is goddamn ridiculous when you list it all out. You have a screenplay from Chris Columbus and Steven Spielberg, you have Richard Donner as the director, and you have Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Joe Pantoliano, and Ke Huy Quan in the cast. It’s no wonder that this odd bit of alchemy was a smash hit in its time and one that’s maintained a following 40 years later.
