It's one of those rare films that holds up to nostalgia for me... even without the octopus scene.<br /><br />Bane - I, too, love cave stories, but you knew that already. ;-) And I'm also a wee bit surprised that it took this long for Hollywood to reboot GOONIES.<br /><br />Donna - Wow! OUTLAW JOSEY WALES! That's pretty cool - that's one of Dan's favorite flicks. And, yes, the entire city of New Orleans is a unique place - inspiring for literature, film, music, and art. I feel blessed to have been born here.Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-22647189643028198772010-02-16T18:09:04.920-08:002010-02-16T18:09:04.920-08:00My hometown has played host to several movies - mo...My hometown has played host to several movies - most noteably BJ and The Bear and The Outlaw Josey Wales, shot entirely in Oroville, CA. Lots of films have been partially shot in the surrounding area, and an old Robin Hood movie featuring Errol Flynn was shot in Bidwell Park in Chico, just 25 miles up the highway.<br /><br />But I'd have to say my favorite movie shooting spot would be New Orleans. There is so much history there; not just on a couple streets that are ideal, but I think the entire city seems to have been made for film. <br /><br />I envy you getting to live in New Orleans, and have all that rich history to feed your creativity. I'm not outgoing enough to take advantage like you do, even if I did live there. But someday I hope to visit.<br /><br />Lovely pictures, btw. Thanks for the views.<br /><br />..........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-36807644340802004212010-02-16T16:54:37.327-08:002010-02-16T16:54:37.327-08:00Yeah,the nostalgia factor for Goonies gives it mor...Yeah,the nostalgia factor for Goonies gives it more measure than it's worth, probably, but I'm a sucker for an adventure store through tunnels/caves :). <br /><br />I'm actually surprised that Hollywood's taken this long to sequalize it (actually, I'm more surprised they're not just rebooting it)Joshua McCunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367262185912463258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-62407395888157090662010-02-15T23:27:00.800-08:002010-02-15T23:27:00.800-08:00I love the story behind Goonies... but overall, it...I love the story behind Goonies... but overall, it is just a so-so movie. Of course in typical Hollywood fashion, they are working on a sequel.<br /><br />And, there is NO WAY I would pass up dinner with Snake Plissken...

And, yes, I love OVERBOARD - that's one funny movie!<br /><br />Bane - I know, I can't believe it! As for Astoria, I've always wanted to go there - and yes, GOONIES is to blame. I still love that movie.

From a nostalgic POV, Astoria's got to rank pretty high on my location list... went to visit a few months back -- it hasn't changed much since the days of Goonies. Of course, I'd recommend the Oregon coast to anybody, regardless of this coolness factor.Joshua McCunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367262185912463258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-64384270596904480072010-02-13T08:21:12.580-08:002010-02-13T08:21:12.580-08:00Wow, lucky you, that hotel and pool area look amaz...Wow, lucky you, that hotel and pool area look amazing.
