The Goonies 1985

How did I sleep on this? This has to be THE quintessential kids-riding-their-bikes-going-on-an-adventure movie. The characters (and there are a lot of them) are all unique and fun, the writing is solid. Heck, even the music is great!

It's just so charming, and so simple. It gives me a nostalgic feeling... like I'm nostalgic for a movie I've never seen. It's that '80s movie feel. The adventure is grand, the beats and timing of the jokes land in that certain (sometimes a bit cheesy) way, and the kids swear more than they probably should. It's a wild ride, and it warms my heart a little.
