Calling all you superher... no wait....superVILLAIN fans! Possibly THEEEE most hugely anticipated films to hit the big screens in recent years, the upcoming epic Suicide Squad is promising to be one of the most action-packed and all out crazy (pretty much literally) films for as long as we dare remember and it's really not hard to see why! Take a peep...

Packed with some of the most cunning and dastardly villains which seem to be popping straight out of the comic books at an alarming rate, Suicide Squad will see Harley Quinn, The Joker, Enchantress, Deadshot, El Diablo, Rick Flag, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc, Katana, and begin working for the government, using their specialist skills as 'Task Force X' in exchange for some leniency in their lengthy prison sentences.

Here to cause havoc and sure to have the site a buzz with eager fans, why not flaunt your inner demons with our seriously cool new Suicide Squad TShirts from just £11.99!

"Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind."

It was chilling, it was thrilling and boy was it awesome! Launching its attack on our cinemas back in 1996, Independence Day has been a 90s classic ever since and with the upcoming sequel titled 'Independence Day: Resurgence' hitting our big screens in just a few week's time, we're about to get a whole new chapter to the story!

Weirdly, our main memories of watching this Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum classic was it always being the film of choice at school. Whether it was perhaps the last day of term, a rainy lunch break, or perhaps the day after exams, some of our more....easy going teachers would always let us count down the hours in style with a classic VHS. It's was heaven! Getting to see Will Smith and Bill Pullman tangle with an alien invasion with your friends before he takes a moment to smoke a cigar and say...."now that's what I call a close encounter", seriously....movie GOLD!

Always looking for a touch of the good old times in our everyday lives, we're tracked down and captured some of our very own Independence Day TShirts which are now on the site and ready to be yours!

With three designs to pick from, take a peep at the latest Movie TShirt invasion to take over TruffleTowers....

Mop our brow and pour us a drink! It's only another sunny retro movie weekend!

Like an over excited weekender heading to the nearest beach , we find ourselves faced with another few days of adventure, comedy and perhaps a bit or romance as we set up base in the sand for another retro movie extravaganza! With sandy sandwiches and our trusty bucket and spade, we'll wind away the sunny afternoon with the gentle breeze and sound of the crashing waves. With more layers of sun cream on than there are layers on a gob stopper, we'll soak up some Sun before dashing the the ice cream van to grab more treats than we know we probably should. Good times.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Action-packed, funny and light-hearted, it's not wonder that 1987's The Princess Bride is still as much loved now s it has ever been. Being packed with sooo many classic quotes including that one has possibly helped just a touch too!

So! Let us dive head first into the pool of frankly inconceivable facts about this classic with our 10 Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About The Princess Bride. Enjoy!

1. Neither Cary Elwes or Mandy Patinkin had any sword-fighting experience before filming. Both trained rigorously, and every frame of Inigo and Westley’s sword fight on The Cliffs of Insanity is actually the two actors.

2. The music came with a quirky catch.

Director Rob Reiner wanted Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits to write the music for the movie. He agreed, on one condition: That Reiner put the hat that he wore in ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ in the film. He did, and it appears in the grandson’s bedroom.
