Andrew Drick The Goonies It came from my cousin Charles who said the Goonies was one of his favorite childhood movies. After all the research I did and questions I asked I can say without a doubt that this movie is the greatest movie I have ever seen. How else can he say something like that?

After watching the movie Conspiracy‚ I found it to be a very interesting movie in terms of the way the Director‚ Frank Pierson‚ wanted this movie to be portrayed when it came to the Wannsee Conference.

However‚ the film should have made the CC pop up at the bottom of the screen so we could at least read their conversations. When the Americans began to burn all of the files they had I started
