The Goonies

First you gotta do the truffle shuffle! If you've seen The Goonies, a fantastic film directed by Richard Donner, you probably immediately LOL'd when you read that. Chunk is indeed one of the funniest characters in this movie, though really, the whole group of them is priceless. A hilarious movie, this film was another one that defined my childhood. I first saw it at a young age, and I have to say, I had a huge crush on Josh Brolin (the way he was back then -- now, uh, not so much..) and Sean Astin (again, the way he was back then -- now, uh, not so much..). I never laugh harder than I do when I watch these kids interact with each other on their way to finding the lost treasure of One-Eyed Willy. After even one viewing, I guarantee you'll remember quips that you'll want to spit out randomly from time to time. "ANDY! You goonie!" and "No firmen!" as dear old Rosalita says at the end of the movie, are two I could never forget. I always wished I could be a goonie, but I take comfort in the message of the film, which very meaningfully states that everyone is a goonie in his or her own way ;)

Okay I'll talk!!
