X-Men Quadrilogy (Blu-Ray) £29.39

While it’s fair to say that X-Men: The Last Stand was a bit of a mess, the other three X-Men movies are pretty good – yes, even X-Men Origins: Wolverine had some worthwhile moments (the fight scenes between Wolverine and Sabretooth are quite exciting).

The X-Men Quadrilogy is due for release soon, and contains all four films that have been made thus far. The great news is that this is also coming out in high definition, which means improved picture and sound quality for all.

Amazon have the X-Men Quadrilogy, on Blu-Ray, up for pre-order – for more information, click here.

Yes Man (Blu-Ray) £9.99

Yes Man is a 2008 comedy film loosely based on the true story and book of the same name by British humourist Danny Wallace. Jim Carrey stars in it as a withdrawn and depressed man who decides to try and turn his life around by saying "yes" to everything after attending a self-improvement seminar.

This high definition release looks and sounds as fantastic as it did in the cinema, and also comes with all of the extra features found on the DVD version. These include six featurettes looking at the making of the movie, five music videos and a gag reel.

Casino, Scarface And Carlito’s Way Triple Pack £3.45

There’s no question that both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro will go down in the history books as two of the greatest actors of their generation, but who is the better of the two? Personally I prefer De Niro for his magnificent performances in The Godfather Part II and Taxi Driver – although some of his career decisions have been odd to say the least (The Adventures Of Rocky & Bullwinkle anyone?!?).

Anyway this Casino, Scarface and Carlito’s Way triple pack contains three excellent movies starring one of the guys – Pacino is in Scarface and Carlito’s Way, whilst Robert De Niro is in Casino.

Eden Lake (Blu-Ray) £6.98

Despite some of the clichés, there is no denying that Eden Lake is one of the best British horror films of the last couple of years. I don’t want to spoil it too much, but what I will say is that it will be right up your street if you are a Daily Mail reader!

This high definition release looks and sounds fantastic, and also comes with all of the bonus material from the standard DVD version. These include interviews with the cast and crew, a "behind the scenes" featurette and a question and answer session with director James Watkins.

Reservoir Dogs: Limited Collector’s Edition (Blu-Ray) £6.99

Reservoir Dogs is the debut film of director and writer Quentin Tarantino, and potrays what happens before and after a botched jewel heist – but not the actual heist itself. An all-star cast helped make this quickly become a cult hit, and is ranked as one of the best independent movies of all-time.

The Reservoir Dogs: Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray release comes with hours of extra features, and is contained in a snazzy petrol-can steel case. Looks and sounds absolutely fantastic as well, which is nice.

HMV are selling this for £6.99 – click here for more details.

Stephen King’s It £2.99

Stephen King’s It is a television mini-series based on the book of the same name by the famous horror writer. A spate of murders prompts Mike Hanlon to suspect that the supernatural menace he and his friends battled as a child has returned – now they must defeat the evil again, but this time for good…

Due to the length of this, the film has been spread across both sides of the DVD (which means you’ll have to flip it over half-way through). You’ll also find a feature-length audio commentary with some of the cast and crew on each side as well.

Monty Python’s Almost Everything Boxset £24.89

Anybody who loves classic British comedy will already know who Monty Python are – for everyone else, they’re a group of comedians (including John Cleese and Michael Palin) who have collaborated on some of the most hilarious films and TV series’ ever made.

Monty Python’s Almost Everything Boxset contains every episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, And Now For Something Completely Different, the Monty Python And The Holy Grail: Special Edition DVD, the Monty Python’s Life Of Brian: Special Edition DVD, Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl and the Monty Python’s The Meaning Of Life: Special Edition DVD.

To get this for £24.89 from Sendit.com, simply click here. Incidentally, the difference between this and the complete set is that this misses out on the sampler of "The Personal Bests", the exclusive t-shirt and the inflatable parrot.

Carry On: The Ultimate Collection £39.99

Although there is still talk that a long-mooted production titled "Carry On London" will appear at some point in the future, I think it’s safe to say that it will probably be nowhere near as funny as any of the original films – even though some of these have lost a bit of their charm over the years.

Carry On: The Ultimate Collection is a massive 30 disc boxset which contains every movie from the series (bar "Carry On Columbus, which has been held up by legal issues) and the full "Carry On Laughing" sitcom, along with a smattering of special features.
