Goonies never say die!
I concur,
I have a massive craving to look back at movies such as Goonies. It's like the best next sequel to Hook, or other adventure-themed movies from the 80ies and early 90ies.
Goonies had an immense impact on me when I was a kid and still in my early teens... I sure as heck started sorting out my Lego bricks, trying to come up with an invention that was as cool as the ones Data made whenever the movie was aired again. God, I really loved Ke Huey's character.
And I kinda had an instant crush on Kerri Green (still have for her type...)
... yet she went to college and that kinda ended her big screen-carreer (along with some movies like Summer Rental and Three for the Road).
As since I also had acute hayfever, I felt easy to sympathise with aerosol-inhaling Mikey.
Goonies had such a feel of genuine majestic wonder, mystery, adventure and amazement, comradship and the idea of 'life, the great amazing mystery' itself... I've rarely seen else in a movie.
I kinda get mushy whenever Mikey's dad says: 'That won't matter now. Because know I'm one of the richest people of Astoria.' (something along those lines, right before he's forced to sign the last notice paper of Perkins).
Also Dave Grusin's music really made the last 10 minutes really worth it with the ship coming out and sailing into the unknown sunset again...
Grusin's music is one of the few, aside from other scores in Hook, Bicentennial Man and soforth where the music perveys such a feel of majestic wonder.
Yeah, it's a pity the rumours on a Goonies sequel proved to be false, since Richard Donner didn't seem to see any story draughts fit to equal the original.
Anyway, for nostalgy's sake - check out this vacation video from some really hardcore Gooniesfans who drove to all locations and re-enacted scenes into a very nice hommage to the 1985 film.:

It's also got some rare behind the scenes footage...
Thinking of it, didn't they rework some of the archive material on a second Goonies DVD release with the actors reunion and interviews?
