Yo, Happy Birthday 68th Sylvester Stallone!
What a man! Yes action-movie hero and all round machine of a man Sylvester Stallone celebrate his 68th Birthday today and we thought, what better time to celebrate a real retro icon!
.
Possibly the ultimate self-made movie star, Stallone has been with us is some of the biggest films (with the biggest budgets) ever and has made himself into some of the most iconic characters through the 70s and 80s and still knows how to do his thing today!
Writing, directing and staring, he has paved the way for his success at every step of the way. After he saw Muhammad Ali fight Chuck Wepner in 1975, deeply inspired, Stallone ran home and three days later had a script for "Rocky.". Amazing stuff and a real turning point in his life which also earned 10 Academy Award nominations and a place in our top movie collections.
It's been a real K.O. of a career for the actor, producer, director, musician, sometimes painter and Boxing Hall of Fame member. So much so we thought we would help remind you guys of just what amazing characters, films and even scenes he has given us over the years. Take a look at some of our personal Sylvester highlights....
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 106
Readers Digest! The weekend has landed!
In a packed out newsagents, smelling of sugary sweets and the the local rags piled on the floor ready for the paper boy. We stand leaning up at the towering shelf of bright and colourful glossy magazines, flicking through the shiny and sharp pages searching high and low as we hunt in desperation for retro movie goodness and as much celluloid wonder as we can get our eager hands on.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Whoa! Wait a minute, Doc.... Back To The Future Turns 29 Today?!
Well! If our calculations are correct, this 80s hit and one of the most loved and infamous flicks ever will hit a cool 29 years old today....now just don't we all feel old! eeeeek
.
Taking the world by storm today (in the US of A) back in 1985, this true 80s icon has become far more than just a film, it has become a movie empire sparking a whole generation of movie lovers to fall in love with McFly, the Doc and of course...the beloved DeLorean!

Marking an anniversary with BTTF is a tricky one. There has been a number of hoaxes over the years with dates changed and what not, but sadly the first date they travel to still hasn't happened but it's not far away!
With sooo many different dates being associated with these three films, we thought we would lay them out for all to see as well a remind ourselves of their travels and adventures along the way.
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 105
Hermanâs Hermits! It must be the weekend!
So under a rung of gently flickering fluorescent lights, inside a heaving family packed restaurant, at the back of a cue for an all you can eat buffet. Let us be your medically obese, adolescent male, adorned in button up stripy shirt and stretchy sweatpants as we prepare to load our plate with a heap of steaming retro movie magic. We'll pile on gallons of cinematic awesomeness before we wedge ourselves ever so uncomfortably into our seat and devour the celluloid wonder....Burp!!
Have a happy retro weekend!
