The Films That Inspired Craig Moss' 'Let Us In'

protolexus’s ★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

A very nice children’s story about murder and greed. This has that special magic of a movie for kids, skirting the line of scary and too intense. The sense of adventure overwhelms any fear you would have watching this. It’s a waking dream to find yourself in an adventure like this as a kid. Goonies is a blueprint for kids adventure movies and why it hasn’t been replicated or downright copied is strange to me. How about this Washington state location? Am I moving to the west coast? cc jrscrolling Hear more on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7pbHCv1acjmRK8ldaemAn0?si=2jcQUtinQXmyrCLdCl3X0A" rel="nofollow">70mm</a>.

No question. Check out the 70mm podcast on this beaut while you’re at it. 70mmpod.com!

junkipenguin’s ★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

This movie for me as a kid was the adventure you want to go on. Finding a treasure map and searching it out with your friends right in your own backyard. Classic.

TheAndyFunke’s ★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

First time watching this movie in a very very long time and I quickly was reminded of why it’s a classic. It’s so good, wholesome and innocent. The movie really captures the excitement and possibilities of being that age. All of sudden it made me want to ride my bike around my neighborhood with my middle school friends all over again. This isn’t a perfect film and the weird stuff/holes in the story are easily overlooked by the magic of the film.

groogruxdave’s ★★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

This was my chicken soup movie when home sick. Turn off The Price is Right, pop in the VHS, get under Grams knitted blanket and lay back. The practical effects, the great banter, loyalty and friendship on screen we're formative. My first yearning for the Pacific Northwest started when I first watched this and when I finally arrived to see it, it did not and to this day, does not disappoint.Another great group watchparty with the Village.

Andrew Dickinson’s ★★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

You want a great Saturday Night Movie? THE GOONIES You want a great Sunday Night Movie? THE GOONIES You want a great First Date Movie? THE GOONIES You want a great movie to have on whilst you contemplate all the existential dread you’re manifesting lately in the vain hope of recapturing that feeling you had as a child where hope was eternal and days were filled with bike rides, pirate treasure, and pop stars wanting to use your bathroom? THE GOONIES

Mikey P’s ★★★★★ review of The Goonies

First few times, they might have been scared, but this has now happily become a favorite for my kids. Looking forward to a <a href="http://www.70mmpod.com" rel="nofollow">70mmpod</a> love fest about it.

Mikey P’s ★★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

In my quest to get my kids to watch more movies, found one that finally landed. Bonus points for couch cuddles when they got scared. They loved it. I forgot how much they said "shit." I also had to make up something on the fly when Cory Feldman translated about the sex dungeon in the attic.

WLattner’s ★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

Jonathan Ke Huan continues to be the best part of every movie (2) that he’s in. Was it just me or was the sound mixing really bad?This was pretty fun, loved the kids and the traps in the tunnels. The fight on the pirate ship felt so clumsy, maybe that was the point but I didn’t really like it. I’ve been wavering between 3 and 4 stars, but I think the deciding factor comes down to the fact that I’m not really interested in rewatching this

Tyler’s ★★★★½ diary entry for The Goonies

Ty McGowen’s ★★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

“Because it’s their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it’s our time. It’s our time down here.” Probably one of the worst lines ever but makes me cry every time I watch this movie.

bekschex’s ★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

Okay I watched it fully and it’s a really great film. 3 stars is good.

I hear the first 20 minutes of this film are worth watching.   Love the village and I really enjoyed this movie ♥️

kkoechner’s ★★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

Um.... anything under 4 stars for this movie is ridiculous!!! Watching this with subtitles for this first time and hearing lines that I never heard before has made this such a fun viewing.

Ceezy’s ★★★★½ review of The Goonies

Disclaimer: This review is heavily based on nostalgia!This was the movie that made me love movies.A classic motley ensemble of characters pulled into a wide-eyed adventure. I watched it so many times as a kid that I could recite the lines. And to be fair, when I watched it 20 years later with my own kids, it held up as a fun, endearing adventure. Sure, the tropes are all there and it's predictable but it will always have a very special place in my movie line up.

Marcie’s ★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

Valuable lessons learned from the Goonies throughout the years:Never lose your sense of adventure and curiosity. Make time for your friends. Always check the walk-in freezer before indulging yourself with all of the ice cream.

Alex Trimpe’s ★★★★★ review of The Goonies

What the hell are you doing in the bottom of a well?Kids suck.You are my greatest invention.The next time we see sky it will be over another town.Always separate the drugs.

Megan’s ★★★★½ diary entry for The Goonies

The ultimate kid adventure flick 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ BRB moving to Astoria.

MacReady's Big Hat’s ★★★★½ diary entry for The Goonies

"When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch ,I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out."I feel like I knew all these kids when I was young.

Sean Allen’s ★★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

"We had our hands on the future, but we blew it to save our own lives....Sorry"Pure movie magic. They just don't make em like this anymore. Take me back movies and send me on a treasure hunt with my friends on a Thursday!

Ismael’s ★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

First off, three stars is good.I never watched this as a kid and don't have any connection to the Goonies. Something tells me that may be a factor in many people's scores and that's ok!A lot of the comedy was alright, didn't like the whole "hey this lady doesn't speak English check it out we can mess with her!" Also I can see how this movie can be a huge sense of adventures for kids, even though it's just about a kid who needs to move.I'll try to give this another shot in the future.

cinephilly’s ★★★½ diary entry for The Goonies

Robbles’s ★★★★½ diary entry for The Goonies

Jon’s ★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

EwanS93’s ★★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

I think this is must be my first time watching from start to finish because I don't remember the opening at all. What an adventure.One of those films that makes you both happy and slightly melancholic. Happy because it reminds you what it was like to be a kid and with your friends. Sad because you've lost a little of that adventure. I hope kids are still finding the Goonies years from now.

Silje Nord’s ★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

The absolute peak of 80s adventure movies for kids. Something hit me on this rewatch: does the Fratellis share some kind of character DNA with Captain Dola and her sons from <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/castle-in-the-sky/" rel="nofollow">Castle in the Sky</a>? I dunno, but I think they have very similar vibes. Anyways, Goonies Forever!

Kev’s ★★★★ diary entry for The Goonies

What a charmer. Glad I can finally override my horrible hospital waiting room memories of watching this movie for the first time. Still wish I had seen it 20 years ago. Really could have blown my mind.
