The film is fondly remembered for its music, its dialogue, its outlandish production design … and its t-shirts. You probably already know about Bronagh Gallagher’s Frames t-shirt in the movie. But what about the Speed Racer t-shirt that Eric Stoltz wears? (surprise, surprise: it was one of Tarantino’s) Or the dorky t-shirts that Travolta and Jackson have to put on at the end of the movie? The movie’s costume designer, Betsy Heimann recently talked about the fashion choices in the film.

More behind-the-scenes stuff is here.
Only 20 years Niall? It seems longer. Still a classic though, as we knew it would be, on first viewing.
Best wishes, Pete.

Meg Ryan. umm maybe as a side character but I hope not the lead. She may have been good as Eric Stoltz’s wife
