In 1985, Richard Donner's The Goonies was released to the world, and it forever changed the landscape of "kids' movies." The film follows a group of misfit children as they set course for buried treasure, in the hopes that it will save their hometown from real estate development hell. Hot on their trail are the Fratellis, a family of criminals who are also trying to get in on an easy payday. 

But The Goonies isn't just about some kids and some buried treasure. The film deals with themes geared toward older audiences, too — bullying, loneliness, and the struggle of having to say goodbye to one's childhood. Today, it's looked upon as a classic, and many who came of age in the '80s and '90s hold it near and dear to their hearts. But there's a problem with revisiting a childhood favorite later on on life, and it's that all of its little issues that we may have let slide when we were kids have now become glaringly apparent. There's just no way to ignore these dumb things in The Goonies any longer.
