Worst. American. Accents. Ever.
Thsoe were supposed to be American accents? Who knew?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Angus ... agreed but unfortunately, one of the commercial stations bought the replay rights to The Goodies a few years back. I think it was 7 and around the same time they got the rights for the Young Ones.
There is a 2 disc DVD of Goodies episodes about to be released.

Well, you would have been about 2 at the time I imagine Leigh, so you're forgiven
Huh. Maybe I was thinking of The Goonies, which is a horrendous movie my 9th grade English teacher made us watch over and over for some still mystifying reason.

If I only had a brain...
Was that the one with the dead-Santa story? Bastards.

No that was Gremlins. And it was a dead-Daddy dressed as Santa found stuck in the chimney story.
If only everything had been as over the top (the kitchen scene, the bar scene and the movie theater scene were the only other ones worthy of it) it would have been as great as the sequel (where Phoebe had another horrendous holiday story that got cut off midway through).

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Sorry. There seems to be some confusion here. Both the Goonies and Gremlins are absolute classics - the Goonies wasn't matched for splendour until POTC - you must be thinking of other films.

Gremlins yes, The Goonies NSM. The Explorers is an unheralded gem from around the same era.

Heh, I seriously just found my 'review' of The Goonies (ah, trusty computers--you only lose what I will actually need) which it turns out, I apparently wrote in grade seven not nine (I'm kinda worried about my memory at the moment--my ninth grade English teacher would have an aneurysm at the thought of teaching on a film containing the mere mention of pirates and/or their treasure). It seems I got very prissy about it's believability and all the screaming. I'm tempted to post bits, but I can't get it to copy/paste properly for some reason.

The Explorers
Is that the one with River Phoenix in it? And they go to space and there are bizarre aliens who've learnt everything they know about humans from TV?
I love the two Gremlins movies, or at least I did when I was younger. I haven't seen them in a while. I once tried to teach my budgie to whistle Gizmo's tune.
The Goonies is a classic. A CLASSIC, I TELL YOU. It is the cheesiest, greatest, funnest thing ever.
