GOONIES, THE

This classic Spielberg film (1985) often comes up on people's 10 fave lists. It is filled with action, treasure maps, a buried pirate treasure and told with sense of style that keeps you glued to the screen. It is now somewhat dated with its special effects but still has the ingredients that kids love - solving a mystery and outwitting the adults. It does contain some stereotyping and has some mild profanity and scary scenes.

The Goonies are a band of misfit youngsters who have to break up - the neighborhood is going to be razed. But when they set out to spend one last day together, they find a treasure map that lands them in a cavern with pirate ship, treasure and monster.
