Macaulay Culkin's scream! It's only the weekend already!
With a house rigged up to the teeth with traps, spikes, ice and the odd red hot handle, we're ready and waiting for the weekend to hit and bring with is all the mischief that's been building up during the last school week. We'll let the paint cans fly, our BB gun fire and spiders free as we take on all that the weekend can throw at us while doing our best to take in all the celluloid wonder that it brings with it.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Captain Blackbeard! The weekend is in sight and we're ready for docking!
With a strong and able crew at the ready, we're setting sail into the vast emptiness of the oceans. With the great gusts fulling our sales fit to burst, we'll be heading straight into the weekend with a song in our heart and the thought of the great treasure to be found in our minds. We'll take no prisoners on our quest for retro movie greatness, only pausing to gaze of the magnificent celluloid wonder that spills out of the stuffed chests.

Toasted marshmallows! It's only the bloomin weekend!
Setting up camp in a picturesque clearing in the deep Canadian woods, we'll be pitching out retro movie canvas just as the light begins to fade. We'll hustle a fire together and sit looking over the flickering flames as we ponder all the cinematic greatness before zipping up for the night and dreaming of what possible greatness we could capture onto celluloid wonder in the next light.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Cheese and crackers! Is it really the weekend. Let's celebrate in style!
With all the finest of guests adorning some of the very classiest attire, we'll schmooze our way around the cocktail party, chatting to some of the great and good of the local area.
Heading to the bar, we'll check our pocket watch and adjust our tie before tipping the bar keep for his hard work and experience in creating our latest creation of only the finest spirits and mixers. We'll sip our drink slowly before heading to the floor to capture even more of the nights greatness like a camera capturing a movies celluloid magic.

Dinner for two! Is it really the weekend so soon?! What a week!
Arriving through the softly lit stonework archway at the end of the long drive way, we're quickly greeted and whisked away through the grand manor decked out with oil paintings, animal trophies and leather seats before entering the grand but elegant dining hall, complete with long table decorated in silverware and candles. We'll schmooze with the honoured guests before taking to our seats and eagerly awaiting the delights of the kitchen staff and toasting to the host.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Forrest Gump Turns 20 Years Old Today!
Shrimp on toast! We can hardly believe it but we've just caught word that one of the very best classic films from our ever-growing collection is turning a cool 20 years old today!
Yep, as scary shocking exciting as this is, the 90s classic Forrest Gump was released in UK cinemas today back in 1994! Frankly, we're still in shock that 1994 was 20 years ago! Where has that time gone?! What kind of sorcery is this?
But it's not only us who love this iconic flick. Picking up several awards along the way, this retro romantic fantasy comedy drama starring our movie hero Tom Hanks snapped up some amazing Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Director, Best Visual Effects, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. Wowzers!
So what made this films so special? Well....Forest himself of course, the music (oh the music!), the scenery, the ever-changing plot and a whole lot more!
To help 'jog' your movie memories just a touch, we thought we would put together some of the best moments that we follow Forrest through in order of appearance, like a storyboard of sorts. There are sooo many different parts, scenes and stories it's hard to keep up!
Enjoy!
