Let us be your  magnificent three horned  beast the Triceratops as we stomp triumphantly around for mega cinematic greatness forage for retro movie awesomeness and  fight off a Tyrannosaurus Rex for celluloid glory.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Twenty-seven years ago today, a Jim Henson-directed fantasy movie called Labyrinth was released and... well, quickly became a bit of a box office disaster. This strange movie, about a girl (Jennifer Connelly) searching for her baby brother who's been kidnapped by a goblin king (David Bowie), was maybe a little too weird for mainstream audiences at the time.

But thankfully over the last 27 years whether it was due to the amazing creatures and sets or to Bowie’s extraordinary wig and lunchbox, it's really gathered a strong following and you only need to see the popularity of our Labyrinth T-Shirts to know this movie has definitely become a cult classic, and for good reason. Labyrinth is one of the last non-animated films of the pre-computer age. Yes, there is probably a few computer effects used in the film, but when you consider that 1986 was also the year that Pixar released Luxo Jr., marking the beginning of a computer animation revolution, Labyrinth's props-and-puppets approach to imaginative filmmaking feels like something of an to an era in film making.

To celebrate this fantastic mile-stone (yes, it makes me feel old too) I thought I'd give you 10 interesting facts surrounding Labyrinth, so enough gas-bagging as we only have 13 hours to reach Goblin City, after all….

1 - The screenplay went through 25 drafts, mostly to inject songs and more humour to ensure legendary pop star David Bowie would agree to star as antagonist Jareth the Goblin King.

It's no secret...we LOVE Coca-Cola! For as long as we can remember, Coke has always been a part of our lives, be it as a super special treat as a kid, right up to now where it's the first port of call when out for a meal, at a fast food joint (like the cool kids), cinema or actually here at Truffle Towers where we have a fridge full the the brim of the sweet stuff!

I'm sure we're not the only ones out there who have a cheeky Coke as one of the simple pleasures in life. To celebrate possibly one of the biggest and best brands ever...(much like we did with the Levi's ads post), we thought we would take a tasty trip down memory lane and have a look back at some of the classic TV Coca-Cola Adverts and see if they fire up your fizzy memory. Take a peep....

Beach - 1963

Campaign: "Things Go Better with Coke"

It was in 1963 that Coca-Cola started using the slogan "Things Go Better with Coke." Advertising agency McCann-Erickson worked with popular acts at the time to create musical jingles utilizing the slogan. This campaign also saw a huge number of jingles reworked from popular sings of the time which were also played all over the radio in advertising slots. Not surprisingly, people loved it! Not sure it would work these day on us cynical bunch though. What do you think?
