5 80's Films That Really Need a Sequel!
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, weâd 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 itâs about... if they make one, weâll be there!
My "Gift ideas for 80s kids" list!
When it comes to finding that perfect gift for either friends, relatives or that someone special, one thing's for sure (well for me) it can be a bit of a challenge to get it right. I seem to find myself shopping for things that I know I like instead of what the 'giftee' would actually want, surely I'm not the only one!?
Well to make that sometimes daunting challenge just that little bit easier and way more fun than rushing from shop to shop on a quest (maybe just a guy thing) I've put together a shortlist of some of my top retro gifts for 80's kids! Enjoy.
Up first is one of the coolest iPhone cases we've ever seen! This retro Gameboy iPhone 4 case sends memories flooding back of 'well spent' hours of Gameboy action back in the day before we'd even heard of 3D, HD, LCD and everything else D! This is a real gamers gift that'll keep the memories alive every time they reach for their phone.Check out the full range of iPhone cases here.
Surely no self respecting kid in the 80s would have gone their whole life without owning at least one Casio watch?! The iconic symbol of retro, this trusty timepiece is one of the biggest must-have accessories for someone who lived in the 80s. I must admit, i wear this one every day and it's still a winner. Available in a variety of colours and styles, check out our complete Casio collection here.
Top Ten Bad Guy T Shirts
We all love a movie bad guy - most of us love to see the demise of said bad guy before the end of the movie too! So here's my run-down of my ten personal best movie t-shirts featuring the wrong'uns!
Ride into battle with our new Game of Thrones tees!
I have been absolutely addicted to the new epic medieval fantasy TV series Game Of Thrones recently. Based on the set of books A Song of Ice and Fire by the much loved author George R. R. Martin, this series has been brought to life by the amazing and established American production company HBO. The box set of the first series was recently released here in the UK a few months ago which is where I got my fix, I've honestly never raced through a TV series so quickly! The second series has just finished airing in the US, so until it finds it's way over to our shores I've got these two fab new T-shirts to keep my attention and show my love of the series!
The first of our new designs focuses on one of Series Ones central families, The Starks. It features the sigil of Stark House, an impressive grey Direwolf, along with one of Ned Starks must uttered mottos 'Winter Is Coming'. Perfect for me to show my respect to my favourite Game of Thrones families instead of those pesky Lannisters!
Another of my favourites from the series had to be Daenerys Targaryen who had a great storyline that saw her completely grow as a character up to her explosive final scene of the first series. This tee represents the sigil of the Targaryen House, a three headed dragon along with the motto Fire and Blood. Out of all the characters I'm especially looking forward to seeing what adventures she will get up to in the second series!
