Here at HeyUGuys we make no secret of our love for the movies of our childhood, we even took our name from one of our favourites.

And while the 25th anniversary of these films may make us feel a little old, we are always looking to spread the word about the celebrations going on around the world. This one is a little special…

We have details of the anniversary celebrations of The Goonies in Astoria, Oregon where The Goondocks are located, and if you’re interested in finding out more or going along you can follow the links at the end of the post.

Eager to revisit secret caves, treacherous traps and hidden treasure, fans will gather in historic Astoria, Oregon, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the cult classic film “The Goonies” June 4-7, 2010. Over the four day event, Goonies lovers can retrace the steps of characters in the film by touring filming locations including the famous “Goonies House,” bowl at “Chunk’s Bowling Alley” and more, including a possibility to mingle with original cast members.

As part of the 25th anniversary festivities, the new Oregon Film Museum will open its doors for the first time. Converted from the old Clatsop County Jail featured in “The Goonies,” the museum is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the art and legacy of Oregon films and film-making.  One of the many highlights is a special exhibit in the actual jail cell from, “The Goonies,” as well as stories, mementos and props from famous movies made in Astoria and across Oregon, such as “Kindergarten Cop,” “Animal House,” “Twilight”  and more.
