The Goonies (1985)
The Movie: Amblin's mission sta♛tement sees a bunch of kids embark on a pirate-treasure adventure.
Why It Was Loved: Goonies = g🤡eeks, and this is one of 🎃those films that celebrates childhood awkwardness and outsiderdom as something amazing.
Jurassic Park (1993)
The Movie: Richard Attenborough clones the dinosaurs and watches in horror as they run amok. Off-screen, Steven Spielberg's doing much the same time… except he's enjoying it.
Why It Was Loved: In Jaws , Spielberg had to hide the limitations of his main 🍨prop. Here, groundbreaking FX enabled Hollywood's consummate showman to really show off.
Typical Online Review: "It is Spielberg at his best (and he packs in every single one ofܫ his signature tricks, camera angles, and other story-telling devices), and John Williams’ theme -another set of almost inversions of his other well known themes- is just perfect" Clifford,
Donnie Darko (2001)
The Movie: Jake Gyllenhaal is stalked by a man in a rabbit suit... and that's the least weird thing about it.
Why It Was Loved: A troubl🍨ed film for troub༒led times, as post-9/11 paranoiacs discovered Donnie's retro-80s, head-fucking emo-cool.
Typical Online Review: "Donnie Dark🙈o is a strange, funny, emotional, touching, exciting, and challenging film. The first time you watch it, you will have absolutely no idea what is going on, but it will hook you." blkbomb,
