Movie Small Group Discussion QuestionsThe Goonies0000 Movie Summary: Mikey Walsh and Brandon Walsh are brothers whose family is preparing to move because developers want to build a golf course in the place of their neighborhood -- unless enough money is raised to stop the construction of the golf course, and that's quite doubtful. But when Mikey stumbles upon a treasure map of the famed "One-Eyed" Willy's hidden fortune, Mikey, Brandon, and their friends Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen, Clark "Mouth" Devereaux, Andrea "Andy" Carmichael, Stefanie "Stef" Steinbrenner, and Richard "Data" Wang, calling themselves The Goonies, set out on a quest to find the treasure in hopes of saving their neighborhood. The treasure is in a cavern, but the entrance to the cavern is under the house of evil thief Mama Fratelli and her sons Jake Fratelli, Francis Fratelli, and the severely disfigured Lotney "Sloth" Fratelli. Sloth befriends the Goonies and decides to help them.Discussion Questions: Prior to meeting in your small groups, select a couple questions from the list below to discuss with your group. Who was your favorite character? Why? The Goonies went on their adventure in order to save their homes. How would you feel if you knew you were going to lose your home? What would you do to save your home? Why do you think the developers thought it was okay to just take people’s homes? Does this type of thing happen today? If you had found the treasure, what would you do with it? If you had enough money to make a change in our school, what would that change be? What about in your community? ................
