The Goonies

[Ballatician]

Ok, so a few years ago I saw the first 15 min of the movie and it seemed pretty good.

I just finished watching it on TV and ZOMG!!@#! it is amazing. Wow, best movie I have seen in a long time.

Chunk, Data, everyone, what a good movie.

In case you don't already knowhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089218/

Naturally, I had to share this on AT.

Welcome to 1985.

It is a bit vintage to have been part of my childhood experience.

You're dating yourself, or rather you're not . . . or I am. Bah! Never mind!

 

[ViviTheMage]

I've never seen it. Yet I still feel complete and human.

 

[0roo0roo]

HEEEEYYYYYY YOUUUUU GUYYYYYYYYYSSSSSS

Oh man I loved this movie growing up.

 

[spittledip]

I liked The Goonies when I was a kid. Saw it as an adult and couldn't understand why I had ever liked it.

You are fucking worse than the OP. Go spend two of the best hours of your life watching this movie... and wondering 'WTF is the octopus?'

And OP, I mean that in the best way possible. I'm glad you saw it. Regardless of how old you are now, if you were old enough to think about telling us then you should have seen it earlier in life.

I must have watched this movie about 400 times as a kid, just about wore out the VHS tape.

Ha... same here. That was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It still makes me laugh.

That was my opinion coming out of the theater in 1985. Felt like the wife and I had wasted our money. Maybe I did not 'get it' because I was already 28yo and this is a kid movie.

Probably, the DVD's we "used" to watch are lower resolution transfers of the original movie film Masters.

Goonies was shot in 35mm film ( ~3 to 12 million pixels per frame vs 2 million pixels per frame for HD video) at a 2:35 aspect. It should transfer very well to HD Video.

MTF studies ("lines" resolution vs "Pixel" resolution) have shown even professionals have a hard time teling the difference between 35mm film and HD resolution video. If I'm not mistaken even Super 16mm has a high enough MTF for decent HD video transfers.

Well, they did a really good job transferring to DVD, so I would guess if they wanted on BluRay or HD they would make the effort to perform a quality transfer.


I loved the commentary and extras. They had the entire original cast and Richard Donner.

The movie was filmed near I was living at the time, so I knew quite a few people that worked on the soundstage and played extras ect. It was a big deal in the community as I remember, and then being suprised that it was actually a great (kids) movie. I watched it a couple times, but my kids have watched it over and over again.

 

[Tiamat]

that was a great movie, i remember that as a kid

 

[Juno]

holy sh-i-t!
