Oh my stars! The days get longer and the weeks get shorter but the weekend remains the same - full of  nostalgic cinematic retroactive joyfulness!

We totally enjoyed “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” last weekend so we’re dead happy to see that “Temple Of Doom” is on this weekend. There’s a real mixed bag of treats in store including a randy British spy, giant green people, an alien and the Batman, “Ever dance with the devil in the pale moon light?” now I love Batman but I still don’t know what that line means or why I remember it, anyone help me out with this?!

Have a happy retro Weekend Folks :-)

Lst months winner bagged herself a £50 gift voucher by telling us about her purchase of the (incredibly popular) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Backpack!

''This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I've always loved the TMNT. I love the facts that it's strong and I can fit my macbook in it! For me fitting my macbook in a bag to go on holiday is an essential, I can't go a day without the internet (guilty). Also my kitten loves chilling in it. I looked for this back pack everywhere and I only saw US online stores selling them, so I went on truffle shuffle (which was my first time visiting the site) and I was so amazed by all the cool stuff that you guys were selling, I was literally drooling on my keyboard... When I saw you guys were selling the back pack I did a flip in the air and slid down a rainbow on a unicorn (true story) and I bought it straight away. I was inspired to buy this back pack when I saw LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem and Jenna Marbles videos, I was like "That's a cool back pack I want to buy one" so that's what I obviously did :) The service was amazing and quick, only took two days. I also realised that Truffle Shuffle's location is in Bristol which is where I live! Because of the amazing challenge I plan on buying more stuff from Truffle Shuffle. I have my eyes on a Darth Vader t-shirt (Fun fact: My grandad was good friends with David Prowse aka Darth Vader) and a hat for my magical pet unicorn. I sent a bunch of links to the truffle shuffle store to my friend through facebook and she loves the store and wants to buy everything. 5 stars ***** Thanks for my Ninja Turtle Back Pack Truffle shuffle!''

1. Top Gun

Top Gun has one of the best 80’s movie opening scenes. It's got F14 jets taking off, the Top Gun anthem, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins playing and then straight into the action with Maverick and Goose.

In the film, Charlie’s old man date was the real life "Viper", Pete Pettigrew. He was a Top Gun instructor and retired Navy pilot, and served as the technical consultant on the film.

2. Rocky 4

I always loved the way Rocky 4 started; it’s basically just a re-cap of what happened at the end of 3, but starts with two giant boxing gloves crashing together and then cutting to the recap, and it has "Eye Of The Tiger" playing!

According to Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers really did not get along and got into an altercation during filming. Lundgren threw Weathers across the ring before it was broken up (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089927/trivia).

3. Transfomers the movie 1986
