Yup....my first husband was considerably older than me and *hated* Goonies. I, on the other hand, was about 8 when it came out and in my heart it is one of my beloved films because of how it captured me back there. I always thought the difference was that I was the kid when it came out and he was nearly the age to be a parent and he just didn't 'get' it through the eyes of a kid.
