This movie rocks! Concert Ts for your film favs

“I was in the music business briefly…. Roadie for Metallica. Speed of Sound tour. Bunch of assholes.”

– The Dude, “The Big Lebowski”

CineFile Video of Los Angeles has created the unthinkable: T-shirts that celebrate your favorite film directors, based on your favorite rock concert Ts.

Werner Herzog, meet Danzig. Van Halen? What about Swedish director Lars Von Trier?

The Fassbinder shirt is modeled after Metallica, the Ingmar Bergman shirt after Iron Maiden. Punk rock gets a shout with this Black Flag-inspired T-shirt honoring Hungarian director Bela Tarr. Meanwhile, American auteur Brian De Palma gets a tribute styled after — who else? — Def Leppard.

Brilliant, no? I predict that legions of movie buffs will be seen roaming Toronto, Venice and Park City, Utah, in these awesome tees.

The shirts are also available via MondoTees.com, the same company that sells such cinematic wonders as Baseball Furies pants (”The Warriors”) and Steve Zissou beanies from “The Life Aquatic.” If you want to prove your undying love for Don Knotts or “Death Race 2000,” this is the online store for you.
