Goonies is an action adventure written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus in 1985 and directed by Richard Donner for Amblin Entertainment. Cinematographer on this film was Nick McLean, who has worked as various titles in the industry since the early 70's.
I would watch this movie before I started my day of my third grade summer. The great cast, which includes the very young Josh Brolin, Sean Austin, and Corey Feldman in a Haim-free roll of the 80's.
The film was mostly shot with an orange glow creating a warm mood. But when the bad guys, the Fratelis, were on screen there was a crisp blue tone. The warm tones were in a soft focus suggesting an ethereal feeling of hope and dreams. The Goonies were on a mission to save their parents homes due to foreclosure. Hope was all these kids had, and that was enough for them to go to such depths, to follow a legend and a map.
