My dad really enjoyed the Goonies, so I grew up with it too. It scared me, made me laugh and had pirates in it. I was too young to get all the adult humor, and I still remember the whole training wheels blowing off the bike and the pirate ship sailing out of the bay.

Since I always loved ships and treasure, it too hit me at the right time. For me, it is just that wonderful sense of adventure, set in the real world. It also has some incredible tense scenes, that still work very well.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

Also...why is this here? Unless you have some sort of time machine, traveled to the future, saw these, then came back to warn us, or something.

The Secret in Their Eyes sounds intriguing. I am consistently impressed with the amazing films Spain just keeps pumping out.

Jewel of the Nile suffers from advanced sequel-itis, it was a pretty blatant cash grab for everyone concerned (except Zemeckis, who passed on the sequel to direct some flick about time travel and incest instead. )

Unlike Romancing the Stone, Jewel is just big and loud and expensive and completely lacking the charm of the original, which was one of those whadda-we-call-ems... "perfect movie"s.
