THE GOONIES

  • Lexus Pavilion West Mall Bristol, England, BS8 4BH United Kingdom (map)
A smooth mixture of the usual ingredients from Steven Spielberg action movies, made special because of the high-energy performances of the kids who have the adventures. It’s a fantastical story of buried pirate treasure, told with a slice-of-life approach that lets these kids use words Bogart didn’t know in ‘Casablanca’
— Roger Ebert

DOORS: 13:00 | FILM STARTS 13:15
