Some people can't stand watching television, others don't dig video games, but everybody likes the movies. When Hollywood brings a story to the big screen people show up in droves to see the latest in cinematic storytelling come to life on the big screen.
Here's a selection of NeatoShop t-shirt designs inspired by classic movies, all of which cost less than the price of a pair of movie tickets!
Movies have made a big impression on folks from the very beginning:
And when movies went full color things got even more interesting:
The Sultry Lagoon by Hillary White
Monsters reigned supreme in the early days of cinema:
And to this day people like to see a giant monster stomping around destroying a big city:
We're Ready To Believe You by Austin James
Back before CGI effects all special effects were created by hand, by master artisans like Ray Harryhausen:
HarryHausen Fiend Club by Chema Bola8
And thanks to these special effects things could get mighty far out in films:
Making you believe that a British nanny can fly through the air with the aid of an umbrella:
She's Poppin' by Hillary White
Bringing a fantastic, and dark, world to life in a fantasy film that starred nothing but puppets:
Another World Another Time by Medusa Dollmaker
Many of our favorite movie friends are the product of practical effects:
And what better way to make a wisecracking alien life form come alive on the small screen than with a puppet?:
But movies aren't all about the special effects:
A Vintage Flesh Wound by Nemons
In fact, most movies revolve around the characters starring in the story:
Birds, Bears and Automobiles by Kenny Durkin
And bringing those characters to life means employing skilled actors:
A Life Comedic by Harebrained Design
Some of whom really seem to relate to their roles:
What Is Best In Life by ShasteenFrey
While others have roles written just for them and their unique persona:
Movie stars can be a bit hard to handle at times:
But if you want them to play the character right you've got to let them do their thing:
Super Ultra Violence (Dark) by StationJack
Especially if the actor in question specializes in becoming one with the character:
Although you may want to make sure they don't get too caught up in their role, or they're liable to snap!:
Grand Theft Stapler by Grafx-Guy
That's the magic of the movies- they make you believe in the power of imagination:
You Are The Special! by Prismic Designs
Whether you're imagination is somewhere out in the stars:
Exploring the outer edges of the galaxy:
On a far-off Red Planet:
Totoro Recall by Gordon Brebner Designs
Or somewhere even stranger than Mars or the Milky Way:
Some far flung fairy tales show us what it means to human, and what it takes to make someone care:
Others show us that even heroes can be total A-holes:
Reservoir A-Holes by Crocktees
Because sometimes A-Holes make the best heroes:
Heroes can be men of action:
Expendables 2 8-Bit Game by Rodrigo Marckezini
Or dark, brooding characters hell bent on revenge:
Most heroes are a bit rough around the edges:
But who can blame them with all of the things they've seen?:
Brought To You By The Number 7 by Spicy Monocle
They battle the forces of darkness for our entertainment:
And battle leagues of bad guys to bring us the best in cinematic excitement:
Bond Villain Showdown by Stationjack
Which is why we love those characters, and their awesome movies, so darn much:
The Toon Who Kissed Me by Punksthetic
And that's why we love going to the movies, even if it's a sequel we've been waiting thirty years to see!:
