The Goonies is an all time classic in my book and I'm super happy that it snuck it's way onto the list as it is absolutely one of the first things I think of when talking about the decade in movies. I watched it probably 50 times as a kid as it was always running on cable and I was so excited when I showed my kids it a few years back and they loved it just as much and have watched it plenty since.
The overall cast of kids is great , the movie is legit funny , Mama Fratelli is an awesome gangster villain and her henchmen son are also silly and perfect. The movie's heart lies with Chunk and Sloth and they do a great job of that and one of my and my long time friends favorite things to say to eachother today when we meet or whatever comes from this movie "HEY YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSSS" - just perfect. Sloth loves Chunk. Chunk loves Sloth and I love em both.
Should be no surprise Spielberg had a huge hands in this and even Columbus. Both are right in their wheelhouse with this movie. Indiana Jones meets Home Alone. Great start to the list.

Oh no! Does this mean the revised list I sent you a few minutes ago is too late? It was only one movie and it only moved it up the list so I put it in there. Had it dropped anything off the list ESPECIALLY GOONIES , I wouldn't have added it. Just affected the placing of a few in the top half though.

Goonies didn't place on my list basically because I didn't get a chance to rewatch it as I haven't seen it since I was a kid. Fun movie though that the Duffer brothers should be paying royalties to.

So sad I missed this countdown.
Goonies would've been high on my list. Ugh.
Well, this is going to be a blast.

That's not totally fair , the Duffer Brothers go all over the 80's to influence the show. Goonies is obviously part of that but I wouldn't even say it's the biggest ...

I think that’s why it’s so beloved too though. And it’s influenced by everything. Goonies to me is low on that list aside from the obvious kid aspect. Goonies holds up though , you should go back and check it out.

You see I don’t think Goonies does hold up. It’s still good fun, but only good fun. The kids aren’t all that charming and the plot is a bit all over the place. I think it should be here but it didn’t make my own list as every time I’ve rewatched it I’ve liked it less and less.

I had Goonies at #15. Just a very fun film that takes the Raiders formula and applies it to a younger audience.

It was at the bottom of my list for a bit but I cut it pretty quickly and it never made it back on. I saw most of these movies in the theatre. IJS I saw most of these movies in the theatre.

Goonies? Eugh. Out of all the cool stuff the 80's put out, this is okay, but c'mon guys. There were two Star Wars movies in this decade. If they didn't make it and Goonies did, I will be most distraught.
To be fair, I am very biased because my mom shoved this movie down my throat as the best movie of all time repeatedly throughout my childhood and it annoyed me. To me, Goonies is the John Cena of movies.

No Goonies for me, but only because the 80's might be the most stacked decade as far as "timeless classics" go. If I had done 20, it'd have made it, but I only did 15.

Really getting sick of Scarface showing up on lists , and shocked it made the cut here. I've talked before how it used to be one of my favorites that I soured on over the years ... Tony is still a great character and endlessly quotable and fun but the overall movie to ME suffers and isn't an easy rewatch. It's more of a fast forward to the iconic parts and skip the rest.
So yeah it missed my personal list , it made the initial round and I ended up cutting it. I just don't want to watch it anymore.
