This famous film-noir murder mystery features an inventive twist: the victim as "detective," desperately trying to solve his own murder. An accountant on vacation in San Francisco gets a dose of lethal, slow-acting poison. He then begins a desperate search for the individual responsible for his impending demise. Irresistible plot given remakes in 1969 as COLOR ME DEAD, and in 1988 starring Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid. Less

(06/05/1985, Jagr.): "...A film stamped with the Steven Spielberg style of high fun....A roller coaster ride...", (06/07/1985, p.C12, Janet Maslin): "...[Spielberg and Donner] have seen to it that THE GOONIES has every imaginable funhouse flourish...", (12/01/2008, p.197, William Thomas): 4 stars out of 5 -- "A kind of talismanic film for anyone born circa 1975, Richard Donner's seven-kids-go-in-search-of-pirate-treasure is boisterous, undisciplined fun....This is nostalgic gold."

Pros
Good old-fashioned mid-eighties Spielberg fun.
Cons
You'll feel like you're babysitting...only you're not getting paid.

Yes
It's a dangerous thing to re-visit movies that were childhood favorites. For every one that stands the test of time (such as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory), there are handfuls of other ones that make you a bit embarrassed at your misguided devotion. But I'm pleased to announce that The...

Wait a second maybe he's not the greatest director afterall. Well he must be getting old or something because back in the 80's this director helmed what has gone on to become one of my longtime favorite...

Pros
An incredibly tight-knit plot served by excellent acting
Cons
None that really matter

Yes
I don't know about the poison being luminous, but the movie certainly is. I was still in school when I saw this for the first time, and can still remember it clearly. I remember that I was deeply upset that a bad man could poison you with something you couldn't taste, was lethal in less than a full...
