25 Years of Goonies
By Casey Knox
On June 7, 1985 The Goonies was released in theaters. Warner Home Video celebrates the movie's birthday with The Goonies 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition. This edition will
include a new board game, collectible storyboard prints, a
1985 souvenir magazine with behind-the-scenes stories about
the actual filming in Astoria, Oregon, including the production design
that transformed Astoria into the "Goon Docks," and a reprint of a 2009
article with updates of the entire cast, as well as producer Steven
Spielberg and director Richard Donner. The Goonies 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition will debut on Blu-ray for $49.99 SRP and DVD for $39.92 SRP.
I was 11 years old in 1985. I couldn't wait to see it, and I remember coming out of the theater with my very first on-screen crush. I can't think of any movie from my childhood that I look on more fondly. Yea...it was a kids movie, but I bet I'd still get a laugh out of seeing Chunk do the Truffle Shuffle or Data's Pinchers of Peril and I'd be willing to bet there's a generation of 30 somethings who feel the same. I'm not surprised they're putting out an anniversary edition of this classic kids movie, after all...
