We all like to think of ourselves as big film buffs here at TruffleShuffle and with so many great Movie T-Shirts in stock there are constant reminders around to encourage us to dig out the old classics time and time again.  The films that I return to most are the ones that I grew up on, there's nothing like cheering yourself up with a classic 80s movie for the ultimate nostalgia fest!  In a Top of the Pops style I'm going to run through my top five movie quotes that never fail to bring a smile to my face, and also show you a cool selection of Film T-shirts to kit you out in style as you settle down with the popcorn!

5 - "May the force be with you" - Star Wars

The ultimate Sci-Fi flick from the late 70s, few films have made as big a cultural splash as Star Wars and if you count yourself as one of the millions of fans out there you're sure to appreciate our cool and stylish Star Wars collection!

4 - "Roads... Where we're going we don't need roads!" - Back to the Future

Every kid wanted to go on an adventure like Marty McFly and Doc Brown did after seeing Back to the Future, unfortunately time travel hadn't (and still hasn't!) been invented so the next best thing you can do is pay homage to the ultra cool Delorean with our fab tees!

Mrs Voorhees severed head! It must be Halloween Weekend.

As the darkness thickens and your bones start to chill and tiny hairs on your body stand on end. Your eyes refuse to blink as you look around every corner for what you thought you saw, you heard something, a  flicker of a shadowy figure darts from one wall to another as a gentle whisper of air brushes past your ear! Your spine trembles, your body tenses, you’d rather not turn around because you know situations like this never end well! There’s a creek from the wooden floorboards and as your heart thumps louder your curiosity gets the better of you as you make the decision to turn - you take one last gulp of air before you turn your head! Something darts out from the corner of the darkness, you jump literally out of your skin and let out a tiny yelp as your kitty cat playing  tricks on you runs between your legs looking like the smuggest little butter wouldn’t melt (true story, this actually happened!)

So like a group of happy little kiddies dressed to the nines like ghosts and witches let us be your friendly bandaged head to foot mummy and try to fill your plastic glowing pumpkin heads to the brim as we take you door to door looking for retro tricks and nostalgic treats of pure spooky cinematic greatness.

Have a happy retro spooky weekend mwaaa hahahah haaaaa!

Like a lot of movie lovers, Star Wars is the jewel in our crown when it comes to our cult film collection. With so many hours well spent watching (and acting out!) the amazing cinematic light saber scenes, it's become one of our biggest movie loves and has really taken the world by storm from it's beginnings way back in 1977.

If you're as big a fans of these classic flicks then you may think you know everything about this rich universe — but there's always more to learn! Whether you'll store these nuggets of intergalactic information for use down the pub, or just keep them locked away safe in the knowledge that you've expanded your Star Wars mind, sit back and enjoy!

1) When production began, the movie was titled "Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as Taken From The Journal Of The Whills, Sage1: The Star Wars

2) Darth Vader was actually a mixture of three people, James Earl Jones was the voice, Sebastian Shaw played the face, and David Prowse acted as the body.

3) Filming of The Empire Strikes Back had to halt for two weeks due to a wind surfing competition in Australia the had become an annual tradtition of sorts for Lucas, and he refused to miss.

4) You can see Boba Fett's face without the helmet in Empire Strikes Back. Jeremy Bulloch, who plays Boba Fett, also plays another role in ESB: Imperial Lieutenant Sheckil, who captures Princess Leia during her attempted escape on Bespin.
