I haven't seen any of them in a long time.

Goonies is the one I liked the most at one time, but I was younger when I first saw it than I was when the other two were released. Not too interested in watching it again. I will watch The Phantom Menace again at some point. I expect The Mummy is the worst and an not interested in testing that theory, since I mostly remember it as a dumb movie for an audience that didn’t grasp the redundancy of a tongue-in-cheek homage to Indiana Jones.

I don’t think Goonies is all that relevant a comparison. Did adults without kids actually watch that when it was new? If you want a better point of comparison from 1985, I’d pick Back to the Future, which was an all-ages-blockbuster, kicked off a trilogy, and was full of boomer nostalgia.
