Celebrating 17 years of Brighton's favourite 80s party and the city's longest running weekly club night (Every Saturday at Green Door Store) 'It Is Still 1985' is marking both their own longevity and the fact that the year they are named after (1985) is now exactly 40 years ago by teaming up with us at White Wall Cinema to create a movie club for 2025 that screens a selection of movies celebrating their 40th anniversary on a limited number of select dates across this year.
​​
One of the most beloved films of the 1980s, The Goonies is a wildly fun kids’ classic from Superman and Lethal Weapon director Richard Donner. Blending the sassy, the hip, the innocent, and the wild, the film features an all-star cast of young ’80s talent including Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings, Stranger Things), Josh Brolin (Weapons, No Country for Old Men, Dune), Corey Feldman (The Lost Boys, Stand By Me), Martha Plimpton (The Mosquito Coast, Parenthood), and Ke Huy Quan (Indiana Jones, Everything Everywhere All At Once).
​
As a group of West Coast kids spend their final days together before their homes are bulldozed to make way for a country club and golf course, they stumble upon an ancient treasure map. Determined to save their neighbourhood, they embark on a swashbuckling adventure that leads them deep into a dangerous underground cavern — with the local crime family, The Fratellis (played by Anne Ramsey – Throw Momma from the Train, Robert Davi – Die Hard, and Joe Pantoliano – The Matrix, The Sopranos, Bound) — hot on their trail.
​
Few films have become such enduring icons of pop culture as The Goonies and its unforgettable characters — Chunk, Data, Sloth, and Mama Fratelli and with such iconic instantly recognisable 80s moments like “The Truffle Shuffle” and “Hey, you guys!” With a story by Steven Spielberg and a script by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, Harry Potter), this riotous kids’ adventure — with its perfect blend of 1980s innocence and attitude — remains as dynamic as ever in this stunning 4K restoration.
​
Join us for this special 40th Anniversary screening — the grand finale of the It Is Still 1985 Movie Club for the year!
