Is there a more fun movie than The Goonies?

If your answer is anything other than NO, then you fail epically.

As a kid, could there be anything cooler than finding a treasure map, fighting bad guys and saving your neighborhood? Well, that’s The Goonies. In a word? Awesome. I watched it all the way through recently for the first time in years.

You should definitely sit back, remember what it was like to be a kid, and check it out. You won’t regret it.

Until then, kill some time with these Youtube clips:

Original Theatrical Trailer
Chunk’s Confession
The Truffle Shuffle
Octopus Deleted Scene
Snack Shop Deleted Scene (horrible quality)
Data Deleted Scene (horrible quality)

Also, if you ever want to create your own treasure map, it’s actually quite simple.

My mom made many with us when we were kids.

First of all, you need some beige copy paper. Draw your map (lots of examples here). Pour a thin level of plain vinegar into a baking pan. Lay the map in the vinegar and let it soak in for a few minutes. Stick it in the oven on broil. Wait for the vinegar to evaporate. You should see the map start to look aged, crinkled, etc. Finally, take it out of the oven and burn/singe the edges with a match or liter. That’s it. You have a treasure map! Hours of fun are guaranteed.**

**I am not responsible if you burn your house down, burn yourself or end up with a map that is lame.
