Poor, poor Corey. Not much of a film legacy. IMHO, I've always thought "The Goonies" was crap, even when I first saw it as a kid. There are many better 'coming of age adventure' movies out there than that one with its lousy effects and annoying characters. But wait long enough and everything becomes a classic to someone, I guess...

The Goonies is better than Willy Wonka in my opinion - I have probably watdhed it more than any other film in my life. But I can see it is not for everyone, especially if someone is from a different generation. I don't care if some of it is cheesy and some of the characters are annoying to people - it is a classic. I am sorry you feel that way Sierra Disc.
Corey Feldman is an annoying dumbass - he almost ruined the Goonies cast commentary on the DVD for me. I would like to see Vince Neil put a bullet in his head on the Surreal Life, but we know that won't happen - oh well, he just further proves how stupid and messed up he is.

Whelp...to each his own.
I like both. WW a lil bit more than Goonies, but they both have major replay value IMO.

I always thought Goonies was really bad. No where as fun as say Gremlins around that time. I was bored.
It doesnt come close to Willy Wonka.
Josh Brolin ifrom Goonies s doing TV again. His new premiered last Friday.
didnt they all get together for a commentary. I think thats cool but the movie wasnt good enough so...

I don't think Corey Feldman came up with those thoughts on his own. The move does have a very large cult following and huge fans. I'm sure these fans have pretty much gave him this idea . . . and I'm sure these fans would agree with his statement.
