Van Damme: 6 Pack £4.43

Van Damme: 6 Pack

Belgium is considered by many to be one of the most boring countries in the world – however, we should be thankful for them giving us Jean-Claude Van Damme. Without him, how would we have survived Street Fighter: The Movie or learned how to breakdance like a machine in Breakin'?!?

The Van Damme: 6 Pack boxset contains six of his best action films, although sadly none of the classics. Instead we get The Order, Derailed, In Hell, Wake Of Death, Second In Command and The Shepherd – all of which are more than entertaining enough.

The Hut are selling this for £4.43 – click here for more details.

Planet Earth: The Complete Series (Blu-Ray) £17.98

Planet Earth: The Complete Series (Blu-Ray) contains a total of five cheap DVDs

It's quite an irritant to some people in this country that we have to pay a license fee to get to see any television, especially when most of it goes to the BBC. But when they produce something as fantastic as documentary series Planet Earth, these cares seem to melt away – just a shame the rest of their output isn't this great!

Not only do you get all 12 installments in high definition with the Planet Earth: The Complete Series Blu-Ray release, you also get two episodes from the "BBC Natural World" series – "Desert Lions" and "Snow Leopard: Beyond The Myth".

This Is Spinal Tap: Up To 11 Edition (Blu-Ray) £10.98

This Is Spinal Tap: Up To 11 Edition (Blu-Ray)

This Is Spinal Tap is a probably the best mock musical documentary ever made which satirises the wild personal behaviour and musical pretensions of hard-rock and heavy-metal bands, as well as the uncritical tendencies of rock documentaries at the time.

Now it's out in high definition you can enjoy the sights and sounds in the best possible quality, plus you get a whole new load of special features too – including an audio commentary, a brand-new documentary, over one hour of outtakes and even "The Return Of Spinal Tap" (mostly live material from a 1992 performance at the Royal Albert Hall).

Click here to buy the This Is Spinal Tap: Up To 11 Edition, on Blu-Ray, for £10.98 from Amazon.

M. Night Shyamalan Boxset (Blu-Ray) £17.85

M. Night Shyamalan Boxset (Blu-Ray)

When The Sixth Sense became a runaway success, director M. Night Shyamalan quite literally had the world at his feet – sadly, bar Unbreakable and Signs, he's not managed to get anywhere near the brilliance of the film about dead people (probably something to do with his need for twists).

Thank goodness then that this collection contains his three best movies in glorious high definition. You'll also find hours of extra features from the standard DVDs as well, which is a nice bonus.

Zavvi have this M. Night Shyamalan boxset, on Blu-Ray, available for £17.85 – for more information, click here.

R.E.M.: Perfect Square £4.85

R.E.M.: Perfect Square

While they're certainly not everyone's cup of tea, there is no denying that R.E.M. are very good at what they do – how else could they have been going for nearly 30 years, selling out arenas around the world and having equally successful albums?!?

This R.E.M.: Perfect Square DVD captures the band performing in Wiesbaden, Germany in July 2003 and also includes a bonus documentary titled "A Stirling Performance", which chronicles their three-night stand at Stirling Castle in 1999.

If you fancy this, click here to buy it for £4.85 from Zavvi.

Friends: 15th Anniversary Collection £39.68

Friends: 15th Anniversary Collection

While it just seems like yesterday the Friends finished up its ten season run (I blame e4 and their constant repeats for that!), believe it or not but we've now gone five years without the gang from Central Perk – although it's inevitable they'll be back for a film at some point.

The Friends: 15th Anniversary Collection boxset contains a whopping 40 discs which hold all 236 episodes ever made. Also included are all of the extra features missing from the original DVD release, such as audio commentaries and extended installments.

Click here to get this for £39.68 from Amazon.

Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series Plus The Ark Of Truth And Continuum £97.89

Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series Plus The Ark Of Truth And Continuum

Although the Stargate film is regarded as being a bit average, the TV series' that have followed it have been more warmly received. Stargate SG-1 starts off one year after the events in the movie, and follows the cast and crew of SG-1 as they explore the galaxy and defend the Earth from aliens.

The Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series Plus The Ark Of Truth And Continuum boxset contains every episode ever made, including the TV movies Stargate: The Ark Of Truth and Stargate: Continuum.

Angel: The Complete Collection £44.99

Angel: The Complete Collection

Spin-off shows often either end up being cancelled as they're crap (see Joey for a good example), or running out of steam (like Mork & Mindy). Angel bucked the trend though, by being both more entertaining and sometimes even getting better ratings than Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Inside the Angel: The Complete Collection boxset you'll find all 110 episodes that were made. Strange that it lasted five seasons, as I was of the mistaken belief that it was much longer than that.

To get this set for £44.99 from Play.com, simply click here.

Pocahontas: Musical Masterpiece Edition £6.98

Cheap DVDs like the Pocahontas: Musical Masterpiece Edition are well worth adding to your collection

Although it's something you don't particularly think about when you're younger, it does seem surprising that almost all of the animated Disney classics are basically musicals – though I suppose that the excellent animation and stories help disguise this fact somewhat.

Anyway, this Pocahontas: Musical Masterpiece Edition DVD contains an extended version of the 1995 film (two performances of "If I Never Knew You" are added) along with hours of bonus material.
