Warner Bros.Goonies never say die … nor do they like their home entertainment overpriced. So I’m sure Mikey, Brand, Data, Mouth, Chunk, Andy, and Stef would be jumping for joy if they saw that the 4k Ultra HD + Blu-ray edition of their seminal 1985 movie The Goonies is on sale on Amazon for a killer price. Well, if they were real, that is.
For those who grew up in the 1980s, The Goonies is one of the key touchstones of adolescence. It was a generation’s introduction to swashbuckling adventure, Cyndi Lauper, Baby Ruth candy bars, One-Eyed Willy, and future Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once). Directed by Richard Donner, the movie follows seven teenagers as they try to find buried treasure along the Oregon coastline while being chased by a gang of criminals and a human ogre called Sloth. But I’m sure you know that already.
The Goonies | 4K Trailer | Warner Bros. Entertainment
Heck, you probably own The Goonies. But this edition promises the best picture and sound quality possible for any home entertainment system. And like all premium releases, this one comes with loads of extras, including a commentary track with Donner and several cast members where they share details about the movie’s production and how it has withstood the test of time. There’s also The Making of The Goonies featurette, Lauper’s The Goonies ‘r’ Good Enough music video, outtakes from the original film, and a theatrical trailer.
That’s quite the package, and it can be yours for only $10.99. That’s a whopping 69% off the list price of $34.98. Of course, this deal is only good on Cyber Monday before it will disappear like One-Eyed Willy’s ship in the sea. If you’re a fan of The Goonies, you’ll get that reference, and you’ll grab this deal while you can. You don’t need to find buried treasure to afford it.
The Goonies stars Sean Astin (Stranger Things) as Mikey, Josh Brolin as Brand, Ke Huy Quan as Data, Jeff Cohen as Chunk, Corey Feldman as Mouth, Martha Plimpton as Stef, Kerri Green as Andi, John Matsuzak as Sloth, Anne Ramsey as Mama Fratelli, Robert Davi as Jake Fratelli, and Joey Pantoliano as Francis Fratelli. The score that played in my dreams as a kid is by Dave Grusin.
Be sure to check out the Cyber Monday savings from the likes of Disney+ and Hulu, available through Monday, December 2.

Might be time to buy EVs, laptops, and smartphones ahead of Trump tariffs
Besides the traditional holiday shopping season, there might be good reasons to preempt some planned purchases between now and January 20: Price hikes are widely expected to be passed onto U.S. consumers should the incoming Trump administration carry out its plans to impose across-the-board tariffs on imports.
President-elect Donald Trump has said the U.S. will slap a new 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, along with an additional 10% on Chinese imports. While campaigning, Trump also mentioned a 10% tariff on all imports and an additional 60% tariff on imports from China.
