Complete with mast, sails, figurehead and all strapped down to take on even the toughest of seas, we'll set sail this weekend into the weird and wonderful world of some of the most iconic retro movies ever to be seen and will drop anchor at only the finest showings as we sit back to enjoy some of the best celluloid wonder from the 80s, 90s and 00s.
Have a happy retro weekend.

Exclusive New 'I Survived Jurassic Park' T-Shirts!
Just when you thought our exclusive range of Jurassic Park T-Shirts couldn't fossil-bly get any better, we've only gone and done it!
Inspired by one of the most iconic theme parks ever, Jurassic Park was home to some of the world's most dangerous and deadly creatures including a whole host of genetically re-created Dinosaurs from prehistoric times, all of which were the brainchild of an elderly billionaire philanthropist. Pretty standard stuff right?
As we're sure all you retro movie lovers will know, during one of the parks tours, a huge storm hits fictional Isla Nublar, an islet located off Costa Rica. To make matter worse, their geeky computer programmer, Dennis Nedry who has been bribed to steal dinosaur embryos disables all security systems in the park to allow him to gain access and steal what he needs. Things quickly turn from bad to worse as all the ancient beasts begin to break free and run amok with only freedom and hunting on their minds!

One of the biggest films of the 90s, this Steven Spielberg classic will certainly always have a home in our personal movie collections and now even more love from our exclusive range of movie T-Shirts!
Happy 70th Birthday! 10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About…George Lucas
Love Star Wars? Indiana Jones? Labyrinth? American Graffiti? or The Land Before Time? Well! You certainly have one man to thank for all of these! Whether it be directing or producing, George Lucas as been a huge part of some of our favourite and the most iconic films ever!
Yep without the mighty George Lucas we would never have imagined a galaxy full of Jedi, Sith, stormtroopers, droids, Wookiees, Ewoks and AT-ATs. We would never have re-enacted outrunning a big boulder while trying to swipe a Golden Fertility Idol. Heck, without Lucas weâd never have known the power of the Force! Can you imagine that?
Yep the big man himself is turning a cool 70 today which has just given us another reason so get digging into the weird and wonderful world of the Internets and sniff out some cool and perhaps lesser known facts about the man himself. Oh how we spoil you!
Take a peep below at some of the things we've discovered about our movie hero....
1. He was a camera operator in the Rolling Stones 1967 concert film Gimme Shelter.
2. Lucas is a major collector of the American illustrator and painter Norman Rockwell. A collection of 57 Rockwell paintings and drawings owned by Lucas and fellow Rockwell collector and film director Steven Spielberg were displayed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
