The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 112

Swoooosh! Bang! Ahhhh! It must be the weekend!

Getting all wrapped up tight and heading deep in to the dark night, we'll crane our necks and wait in eager excitement as we watch the night sky erupt into light from a barrage of firework glory. We'll gaze up at the fiery delights as we reach for our cameras and start rolling, trapping ever more magic onto celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 111

Heavens above! It must be the weekend!

Rising higher and higher by the minute with more and more extensions, wings and rooms, let us be your busy little workers as we tower together box after box and create a fort the likes of which have never been seen. Withstanding attacks from imaginary enemies, great floods and internal power struggles, we'll conquer all on our quest for greatness and capturing even more celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 110

Halley's comet! It's the weekend already?!

Like a proud owner of a shiny new soft top convertible, we'll be donning the driving gloves and sunglasses as we rev up our smooth engine and glide our way through the twisting and turning country roads with the wind in our hair in search for even more retro cinematic greatness and stopping only to gasp at the celluloid wonder they discover on the way.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Whoa! Wait a minute, Doc.... Back To The Future Turns 29 Today?!

Well! If our calculations are correct, this 80s hit and one of the most loved and infamous flicks ever will hit a cool 29 years old today....now just don't we all feel old! eeeeek

.

Taking the world by storm today (in the US of A) back in 1985, this true 80s icon has become far more than just a film, it has become a movie empire sparking a whole generation of movie lovers to fall in love with McFly, the Doc and of course...the beloved DeLorean!

Marking an anniversary with BTTF is a tricky one. There has been a number of hoaxes over the years with dates changed and what not, but sadly the first date they travel to still hasn't happened but it's not far away!

With sooo many different dates being associated with these three films, we thought we would lay them out for all to see as well a remind ourselves of their travels and adventures along the way.
