"'The Goonies' is 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," movie critic Roger Ebert said about the movie. "'Goonies', like 'Gremlins', walks a thin line between the cheerful and the gruesome, and the very scenes the adults might object to are the ones the kids will like the best: Spielberg is congratulating them on their ability to take the heavy-duty stuff."

5. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl"
