The Classic Film Lovers T-Shirt Collection: Lights, Camera, Tees

Do you speak fluent movie quotes?

Does the smell of popcorn make your mouth water?

Can you name the director for pretty much any movie anyone throws at you?

Do some of your favorite and earliest memories contain late nights in front of a movie screen?

Cool, me too. This tee collection is definitely for you.

For some people, movies are entertainment. For others, like you and me, movies are a way of life – especially the classics. We’re talking The Godfather, Jurassic Park (the original one!), Star Wars, Casablanca…and the like. There’s just something different about old movies. The dialogue was gold. The directing and special effects were groundbreaking. The plot’s seventy miles deep. You get the picture. Movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the Birds set the precedent for similar films that would come later. Star Wars practically defined the SciFi genre of film, and Lord of the Rings set the bar for special effects and budgeting for quality fantasy films in the years to come. And who doesn’t fawn over Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, or cry laughing at the witty one-liners in The Thin Man?

Movies like these have defined our popular culture, whether we realize it or not. To be a classic film fanatic is to be well acquainted with the stories that shaped our world.

We’ve compiled all the best tees from around the web that show the love for our favorite classic films. These are tees any classic film lover has to have. Tees to celebrate specific films, tees to celebrate movies in general, and tees that express sentiments that I’m sure you’ll wholeheartedly agree with. There’s something in here for everyone. You’re sure to find a tee that you’ll look at and say, “yeah, that’s me”. So, pop some popcorn, butter it up, and take a look. If you love a classic movie and know of a tee that pays it tribute, but don’t see anything here, go ahead and submit it so that we can add it to our collection. We’d love to see what you’ve got!

Keep calm and watch on. The new movies may be awesome, but the true classics will never die.
