#32. What better shirt to wear to tonight's Freaks & Geeks reunion, one of my favorite TV shows ever, than my Iron Giant shirt, one of my favorite movies ever.

I've probably seen this movie more than any other. I saw it 7 times in the theater when it ran, one time being the ONLY ONE in the theater. I could never figure out why this exciting, touching and beautifully animated movie never caught on. I think some of it had to do with promotion, or lack of it. Brad Bird finally got recognition for his work on The Incredibles, but I'm sure he will always have a special place in his heart for our shared Superman, The Iron Giant.

This shirt was a gift from my cousin during a Christmas visit in 1999. I was enthusing about this movie, as I did to anyone who would listen, and she noted that she had a shirt that came from the production staff of the movie. My eyes lit up when she went in the next room and presented me with this shirt. And it was my size too!

If you have never seen the movie, please rent it and let me know what you think. Plus, there is a handsome character in the movie named Dean, and I can't even name another character Dean in a movie.
