I saw The Goonies and laughed precisely once. Once. Bored me to stinkin' tears. It is yet another Chris Columbus vehicle that I find completely unentertaining in every way -- writer, director, whatever. The Home Alone flicks, Mrs. Doubtfire, the first Gremlins movie... for God's sake, I am the target audience for the noxious Young Sherlock Holmes. To this day, I remain convinced that the perfectly adequate job he did directing the first two Harry Potter films was fueled by the fact that his children would have lynched him if he'd screwed it up. Along with every other child on at least two continents.

1986 was a great year. :)
