THE GOONIES
(1985) Directed by Richard Donner
A cult-classic and a veritable time-capsule of all things 1980s, The Goonies defined a generation and continues to cast its spell over all those that have come after. The secrets of its success lie in executive producer Steven Spielberg’s retro-fitting of the old school Saturday matinee adventure—pirate treasure, creepy bad guys, mysterious underground caves—for a contemporary pre-teen audience with a timeless mix of schlock and shock.

THE MUPPET MOVIE
(1979) Directed by James Frawley
The Muppets’ big-screen debut, a magical, musical road trip across America, tells the story of how the troupe first met with wised-up wit and whimsy to spare. As Kermit treks cross-country from his swampy home to Hollywood, he’s joined by Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, The Electric Mayhem and the rest of the gang, plus an all-star human cast that includes Mel Brooks, Bob Hope, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor and Orson Welles in cameos. Infectiously toe-tapping songs by Paul Williams, including “Rainbow Connection” and “Movin’ Right Along,” set a bouncing rhythm for a film that will have kids of all ages smiling and humming all the way home.
