The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 190
Slap my thigh and tickle my side! It's another retro movie filled weekend!
With the weary Sun juuuuust starting to peep it's head through the clouds welcoming a new season and (for us anyway) a much more fun part of the year, we find ourselves peering out of the window with anticipation and excited eyes as we imagine all the wonderful things that could just be on the horizon. Could it be camping? Could it be hiking? Or perhaps could it be the first day of 2016 where a tshirt if just about what you can get away with? Only sweet time will tell.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Our Top Reasons Why Save The Last Dance Is Such a Classic!
Not this might come as a slight supersize to many of you, buuuuut the amazing teen flick that is Save The Last Dance turns a cool 15 years old today! Yep released here in the UK back on March 30th 2001, this icon is still very much in our top books and we think there is still plenty to love about this legend.
Now, teen films are admittedly a total guilty pleasure and are usually enjoyed on lazy Sundays with ice cream and perhaps a friend or too. You can love it and generally won't give you a headache trying to understand it which is sometimes perfect! But! Save The Last Dance is so much more than that, instead taking on real life situations like dating, pregnancy and crime. Tick! Tick! Tick!
First up of course it's....those dance moves! Whoever you are, watching this film was a sure fire way to get the itch to throw some shapes right there and then, because....why not!
Taking on the big issues like racism like a champ. Sadly, too many times in teen movies involve perfect couples with perfect relationships. Save The Last Dance actually looked at the struggles more everyday couples, such as racism faced in inter-racial relationships.
The music! With total classics from Pink, Ice Cube, Montell Jordan, Snop Dogg and Chaka Demus & Pliers, there's plenty to love about this. While we wouldn't recommend just listing to this film, you could and still have a blast!

Batman V Superman Out This FRIDAY! Are You Ready??
Whenever the great movie gods reveal and amazing new adventure from one of the top superheroes, it's a pretty big deal right? We'll imagine getting to see something from the likes of Batman, Superman AND Wonder Woman all rolled into one full throttle, action-packed adventure! Imagine no more because this is reality!
Now... this is probably no huge surprise to many of you (unless you've been living underground for the last few years....if so...welcome back! The Kardashians are still a thing and Leo finally bagged an Oscar), but perhaps one of THEEE most anticipated films of recent times is just days away and we're pretty gosh darn excited!
So what's it all about?? Well.... fearing the actions of Superman are left unchecked, Batman takes on the man of steel, while the world wrestles with what kind of a hero it really needs. With Batman and Superman at each others throats, a new threat known as Doomsday, created by Lex Luthor might force them to put aside their differences to help save Metropolis. Take a peep at this trailer for a slice of the action.

Need a Wingman? Our Exclusive New Top Gun Clothing Has Just Taken Flight!
As a lot of you movie fans in the land will know, many films are good, some are truly great, but even fewer reach the level of cult classic. Top Gun is one such film.
Released back in 1986, (which despite what we might actually think is a little more than fifteen years ago.... scary), Top Gun has risen to become a true crowning glory of 80s cinema with its action-packed fighter jet scenes, heart tugging story of loss and struggle, one of the best soundtracks ever and....yes....sure the odd topless volleyball and locker room scenes. Well it was the 80s.
Here at TruffleShuffle, Top Gun has been on of our true staples and we've stocked a huge range of exclusive Top Gun TShirts for ...ooooh... well, longer than we'd like to remember. Always looking to up our game, we've been busy once again creating some exclusive new Maverick designs which are sure to tickle your fashion taste-buds. Take a flyby and check them out below....
