Every summer, I dedicate time to introducing my children to classic films that shaped my childhood, particularly those from the ’80s and ’90s. These enjoyable and visually captivating movies resonate with me deeply, and I hope they will have a similar impact on my kids. This summer, we’ve identified a few titles that have yet to grace our screen: The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth (which I truly adore despite its creepiness), Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (just the original), Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2 (hello, Johnny Five!), and Beetlejuice (the oldest has seen it, but the younger two have not).
In addition to these new selections, we will be revisiting a film that is a must-watch each summer: The Goonies. This movie has an abundance of elements to cherish: action, adventure, mystery, and, of course, the iconic Truffle Shuffle. It embodies a kind of magic that has yet to be replicated in family cinema. If you haven’t yet shared this film with your children, I strongly encourage you to set aside a day for it—consider it a valuable educational experience. Here are five important lessons The Goonies imparts to young viewers:
- The bond between siblings is paramount. They may retaliate if you try to escape with friends, but it’s only out of love.
- Even those who may seem small can create a significant impact. When united, they can overcome even the most formidable challenges.
- True worth lies within. It’s not about external appearances.
- The value of friendships is immense. Friends are just as vital as family.
- Always remember, you could have a much stricter parent than me!
