I'm a MASSIVE fan of retro movies and 80's film tshirts. Nothing excited me more as a kid than when I found out that my favourite film was coming back with a sequel - even more exciting when I was treated time and time again - like Back to the Future and Rocky!

So when the 2's, 3's and 4's started drying up and the classic 80's sequels began to dwindle, it dawned on me that the films I dreamt of and wished for may never come. Twenty years later, and here's the top five I'm still desperate to see made...

Goonies 2

Goonies had to be number one for us here at TruffleShuffle, we’d all love to see the original cast and crew make another one.

What would it be about? It's rumoured the sequel could be about the Goonies own children having an adventure, maybe some sort of holiday reunion for the original characters and maybe them getting into trouble and their kids having to save them.

Whatever it’s about... if they make one, we’ll be there!
