The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 153

Stuffed crust! It's only the weekend again....yep really!

Like an keen and greatly experienced pizza chef working their magic before the super-hot oven, we find ourselves once again with a whole weekends worth of retro-tastic movie toppings to select from to help layer up and bake our perfect weekend. We'll pop on some spicy romance, some slithers of thickly cut and perfectly aged plot, a dash of action and of course plenty of cheese before nicely toasting in the oven. We'll be left feeling full but ever so replete after stuffing ourselves on some of the best this weekend has to offer.

Have a happy retro weekend.

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 149

Fisherman's Friend! It's only the rootin'-tootin' weekend already!

Like an eager angler who loves nothing more than to hit the river banks, we're loading up our bags with all the weekends' essentials before heading out to stalk the deep waters. We'll cast out into only the perfect spots using only our finest and most secret baits before waiting patiently but apprehensively for that float to drop down below. Instantly... we're on and with great skill and determination we have caught the finest retro movies there is to offer before weighing in and capturing this mighty beast onto celluloid wonder for the world to see.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 99

Maple bacon muffins! is it the weekend again?!

So on a slightly breezy summers afternoon, road tripping along country roads, as the slightest tinge of manure hits the back of your nostrils. Let us be your exceptionally happy family dog, as we hang our floppy-eared dribble tongued head out of the car window for retro movie mayhem, we'll run in circles searching green fields and pastures for cinematic awesomeness before tiring ourselves out from digging holes looking for celluloid wonder. Phew!

Have a happy retro Weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 74!

Slugs, snails and puppy dogs tails it has to be the weekend!

So hidden away in the darkness at the tail end of Midnight. Inside a damp dingy cave, let us be your coven of haggard, wicked witches. Some tall,  some short, some fat and  some thin with boils and ragged clothes, topped off with pointed slightly askew hats, each one equal in their evilness to the last.

Stand in horror as we mix a potion to find retro movie greatness, before reciting the spell for cinematic fantasticness then finally we'll bask in the wickedness that is celluloide wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Classic 80s Movie Posters Recreated...With Kids

Here at Truffle Towers, we love a new twist on something classic. Be it a friendly mix of The Godfather and Transformers resulting in our Tronfather T-Shirt, or maybe even a mash up of Pink Floyd and Button Moon giving us our Dark Side of Button Moon T-Shirts, we have always had an eye on other peoples interpretations of the classic films and TV shows from our 'not too distant' past.

On one of our many travels through the weird and wonderful world of cyberspace, we stumbled over some fantastic recreations of classic 80s films posters this time using some cheeky chappies. Utterly adorable, and such a cool idea, take a look at what we found...

Can you think of any other classic retro posters you've love to see getting the same treatment? Let us know with a comment below. :)
