I get it!

You can pretty much see the house I was born in during the first 10 minutes of The Goonies.

I'm not sure if it's visible in the widescreen version, though, it was right across the street from the beach where the ORV race happens, if I remember right the full screen version shows a bit of the roof.

I've actually never seen Goonies either. I've probably seen the whole thing but it's all pieced together. I was however in a very casual relationship with a gal who lived in the house they used for Data's house. What's funny is Cannon Beach, OR (where the haystack rocks are at the end) and Astoria, OR (where they live and the treasure is) are a good 30 miles apart. Is there a portal or something down there, or was the cave just that big?

The Goonies was great. How anyone can grow up without experiencing the Truffle Shuffle or any of Sloth's classic quotes is beyond me.

It is a shame that the director never made the film's thesis explicit, however.

The fuck is wrong with you people?

IZ, the portal from Cannon Beach to Astoria has nothing on the portals they must have been using to travel around New England in The Witches of Eastwick, or the one that MacCaulay Culkin used at the end of The Good Son to walk from a house in Manchester, MA all the way up to some cliff in, I don't even know, Northern Maine or Nova Scotia or something.

spikestoyiu, leave me out of this, The Goonies was probably the second most watched film of my youth (after Aliens).
