This year marks the 25th anniversary of one of the most beloved children's films of the 80s, The Goonies. Nearly all kids of the 80s, including myself, can recite whole scenes from this endearing classic about a band of misfits searching for pirate treasure in order to save their homes from demolition. Although the film's setting is Astoria, Oregon, the basis of the whole production was on the imagination of two Ohioans. The screenplay was written by Chris Columbus (perhaps better known now as the director of Home Alone and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), who grew up in Warren, OH, and was based on a story by Steven Spielberg (you really should get out more if you don't know who that is), who was born in Cincinnati, OH.This should not to be confused with the other Brainchild from Youngstown, Ohio.
