#201. The Goonies
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c6/The_Goonies.jpg
Dir: Richard Donner
Genre: Adventure, comedy
Year: 1985

How many other movies can make you feel like The Goonies makes you feel? Nothing else imbues such a wondrous sense of adventure and exploration for me. This is obviously due to a number of reasons: the adolescent cast who is still just young enough to not be cynical, the gorgeous setting that makes you believe a pirate's cove can live under a blue collar town in Oregon, and the hearkening of a time before helicopter moms, cell phones, and GPS.

The Goonies is pretty much what every kid wishes their summer adventure could be like. And watching it as an adult can still transport you there.
