Shu Todoroki! It has to be the bumper New Years edition of the retro rundown.

So as we prepare to dismantle all signs Christmas ever existed let us be your ever helpful fluffy, cheeky, little, fur ball kitten as we stupidly wrap ourselves up in balls of multi-coloured tinsel to lovingly bring to you a glittering and sparkling retro master class of movies.

Poseidon's Trident! It's been three weeks since my last confession, I mean Movie Rundown! First came the great flood and then I went on me holibobs for two weeks but you'll be glad to know all I did was laze about in my pants watching films ;-) You'll be less than thrilled to know that the movies I watched were the likes of “Mega Shark V's Giant Octopus” and “Two Headed Shark Attack" both brilliantly terrible films you're sure to agree so I watched them twice (totally deserve an Oscar!)

Also I'm to believe that someone else took over my duties as "Captain Film Dude" (official title - I have a badge and everything) and probably suggested you watched “Spiderman” and “Transformers” for three weeks! That menacing doppelganger must be stopped.

Never the less I'm back so that must mean it's the weekend Hooray! for us. So like the blistering hot sun showering us with rays of golden retro joyfulness as we stand buried waist deep in sand on a beautiful tropical beach let us be your bucket and spade and build you a nostalgic movie masterpiece.

Happy retro weekend folks :-)

As you may imagine, when people find out I work at T-Shirt emporium TruffleShuffle.com, the first question I'm asked are which are my favourite designs.

Being a self confessed 80's movie buff, I have a particular soft spot for our 80's Movie T-Shirts so I couldn't resist running down my top 5 for you.

Enjoy!

1. Dark Crystal Movie T-Shirts

Inspired of course by one of the best Jim Henson films of my childhood, this awesome The Dark Crystal design is a great way to remember the legendary 80's fantasy flick that terrified and amazed in equal measures. One minute I'd be wide eyed in a world of beautiful fantasy and adventure and the next it would have me hiding behind my pillow from the Evil Skeksis, the bad guys of the film who looked like giant, skeletal crows who'd been dressed in rotting flesh. Imported especially from the US of A, not only do I love this because it pays homage to one of my childhood classics but also because it's one of our rarer designs, only available in limited numbers so you're unlikely to see anyone else walking down the street in the same tee as you.  Always a bonus.

2. Ghostbusters Movie T-Shirts
