The Goonies
1985
“Much of the 1985 film The Goonies was filmed within the park, as was the school picnic scene in Kindergarten Cop.” Wikipedia

“Parts of the film were shot at Lake Powell in Utah, Wheeler and Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach, Oregon, and Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, Venice, and Fox Hills Mall in California.” Wikipedia
Named here by Ecola State Park’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Ecola State Park, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
