Need a Wingman? Our Exclusive New Top Gun Clothing Has Just Taken Flight!
As a lot of you movie fans in the land will know, many films are good, some are truly great, but even fewer reach the level of cult classic. Top Gun is one such film.
Released back in 1986, (which despite what we might actually think is a little more than fifteen years ago.... scary), Top Gun has risen to become a true crowning glory of 80s cinema with its action-packed fighter jet scenes, heart tugging story of loss and struggle, one of the best soundtracks ever and....yes....sure the odd topless volleyball and locker room scenes. Well it was the 80s.
Here at TruffleShuffle, Top Gun has been on of our true staples and we've stocked a huge range of exclusive Top Gun TShirts for ...ooooh... well, longer than we'd like to remember. Always looking to up our game, we've been busy once again creating some exclusive new Maverick designs which are sure to tickle your fashion taste-buds. Take a flyby and check them out below....

Our Exclusive New Ferris Tees Are UnBuellerevable!
On the 20th of February 1987, (but quite a while after the yanks got their hands on it), we were first introduced to one of the most iconic characters of the decade. Someone we all wanted to be, someone who came along and did what they wanted and got away with is...if only just!
He lives the teenagers dream, getting to skive off school, drive a fast and very expensive car, and well...generally lark around with his best mates in the great city of Chicago. Who wouldn't want that right?
We are of course talking about... Ferris Bueller!
.
From the very first glimpse of the tailor we say for this film, we were in love and we sure weren't alone! Ferris later became one of the top-grossing films of the year and a true 80s classic for ever after. Not bad for a film that was written in less than a week!
With such a following and of course looking to feed our Bueller bellies with even more retro goodies, we've been hard at work creating some amazing and super exclusive new Ferris Bueller T-Shirts, this time inspired by that classic quote we all know and love.
Awesome Behind The Scenes Jaws Piccys To Sink Your Teeth Into...
We can still remember it now. Curled up on the sofa, desperately trying to grab as many pillows as we could get our hands on to hide behind, only peeping through the cracks in our fingers to catch a glimpse and quickly back again. This of course was our first 1975 classic Jaws experience and...well... we loved it!
Every once in a while a film comes along that totally changes the game, whether it's with ultra cool new revolutionary special effects, amazing acting performances, or perhaps all out shocking storylines we'll never forget. These films quickly go down in history and earn themselves the title of a classic or perhaps a retro movie icon, Jaws is certainly one of these films!
Directed by movie legend Steven Spielberg, Jaws (based on the books) follows the story of a small island community called Amity which quickly becomes the hunting ground of a huuge (no really...huge!) Great White Shark. After some odd goings on and an attack on a local boy, the mother of the latest victim put a large bounty on the sea beast's head which soon sends would-be shark hunters on the case to catch their prize, but this is only the start of the Sharks feeding frenzy....
.
Always wanting to have a little nosy into some of our favourite films, we've been doing a little swimming around the depths of the internet and have discovered some simply amazing behind the scenes shots of the great beast itself and of course the iconic cast and crew. Take a peep at some of our favourite snaps and perhaps put some of those deep blue sea fears to bed :)

GREAT SCOTT.... Back to the Future turns 28!! Is it the most perfect retro movie?
With so many dates involved with the three Back to the Future films itâs hard to work out which anniversary you should be wearing your Back to the Future T-Shirts for. Trust me, today is one of the days you should be wearing your flux capacitor with pride but that's not because it's the anniversary of the day that Doc Brown asks Marty McFly to meet him at 1:15 A.M. at the Twin Pines Mall itâs not even the anniversary of the day Doc, Marty, Jennifer and Einstein travelled to Oct. 21, 2015... 28 years ago today saw Doc Brown and Marty McFly unleashed on the public!
I may have only been 3 at the time, but with a massive love of all things automotive it wouldn't have taken a rocket scientist to work out that this retro blockbuster was likely to become my favourite flick! Never have I craved some movie merchandise so much more than wanting my very own DeLorean since the very first time I saw this movie!
I would be willing to bet that this is the perfect retro movie for petrolheads around the world, but is this movie really perfect? Well, with so many continuity errors in it it would appear not.... But I think I love the movie even more for it's funny little foibles. Here's 10 of my favourite....
1 - When Doc and Marty are at the Twin Pines Mall and Doc is telling Marty about the car etc, he says "never mind that now, never mind that now..." and Marty has the camera facing the ground, yet later when Doc in 1955 is watching the video, you can see him saying that on the video.
