A group of kids who are having to move from their home town due to it being turned into a golf course find a treasure map in an attic and go off in search of the long lost treasure of renowned pirate One-Eyed Willy. Unfortunately the starting point of their hunt is the hideout of the notorious Fratelli family, one of whom has just broken out of jail!

One of the most famous family movies of the 1980s, and arguably one of the best, The Goonies is also one of my all time favourites. I can’t really put my finger on what is so special about this, but the feeling of being in a teenaged Indiana Jones film has to be high on the list of things that this movie has going for it.
