Harold Lloyd: The Definitive Collection £17.87

Harold Lloyd: The Definitive Collection

Although Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are perhaps the most well-known silent comedians, we shouldn’t forget the work that Harold Lloyd did as well. His ridiculously high pricing for showing his films on television made his reputation and public recognition suffer, but the quality of work should ensure we never forget how good he was.

Harold Lloyd: The Definitive Collection is a nine disc set that contains nearly all of the feature films he made, along with some of his best short films and various featurettes. There’s also an audio commentary on "Safety Last!" with his friend Rich Correll and critic Leonard Maltin.

A History Of Britain: The Complete Series £17.89

A History Of Britain: The Complete Series

I’m a big fan of the documentaries shown on the BBC, such as Planet Earth, and A History Of Britain is another brilliant series. Simon Schama looks at the history of the British Isles across 15 episodes, which each allow him to examine a particular period and and tell of its events in his own style.

A History Of Britain: The Complete Series contains all of these installments, as well as some interesting bonus material. This includes a couple of interviews with the presenter, and a one hour lecture from him too.

The League Of Gentlemen: Box Of Delights £4.85


With its dark humour and very odd characters, The League Of Gentlemen quickly became a highlight on the BBC2 schedules – which in turn led to a couple of live tours and a, somewhat disappointing to many fans of the show, feature-length film.

The League Of Gentlemen: Box Of Delights contains the aforementioned The League Of Gentlemen: Apocalypse movie and The League Of Gentlemen: Live At Drury Lane and The League Of Gentlemen: Are Behind You live DVDs.

Alien Nation: The Complete Series £9.73


Alien Nation is a science fiction programme made in 1989 which is loosely based on the film of the same name. Storylines generally revolved around morality plays on the evils of racism and bigotry using the humanoid species known as the Newcomers as the the discriminated minority.

Inside the Alien Nation: The Complete Series boxset you’ll find all 22 episodes ever produced. Also included are an audio commentary with creator Kenneth Johnson on the two-hour pilot and a "behind the scenes" featurette.

The Hut are selling this for £9.73 – click here for more details.

Comic Book Triple Pack £3.85

Comic Book Triple Pack

Comic book films are quite a hit and miss bunch – for every The Dark Knight or Spider-Man, we get Elektra or The Fantastic Four in return. This particular comic book triple pack contains two good ‘uns and a stinker, so it could be worse!

The two decent movies are Hellboy and The Punisher (which I personally think is very underrated), but you also get Ghost Rider which is a big steaming pile of turd. And to think Nicolas Cage used to be considered a decent actor.

The Lord Of The Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy £8.93

The Lord Of The Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy boxset contains a total of six cheap DVDs

Each entry in The Lord Of The Rings series is as good as the one before, which is impressive when you consider the pressure Peter Jackson must have been under at the time – the books they are based on have been around for years, and are well-loved by many.

The Lord Of The Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy boxset contains all three double disc releases of each film. These in turn have many hours of bonus material, including deleted scenes and countless featurettes.

Historical Epics Boxset £4.85


When most people think of history, the first thing that will probably spring to mind is the somewhat boring way the subject is taught at school – however, through the art of cinema many of the most important events have been depicted in glorious fashion (even if filmmakers can be a bit liberal with the truth at times!).

Inside this Historical Epics Boxset you’ll find four such movies. Barabbas, The Conqueror, Spartacus and Gladiator are all excellent, though Gladiator to me is the best of this collection – with Spartacus not that far behind.

Zavvi have this available for £4.85 – for more information, click here.

The Shawshank Redemption (Blu-Ray) £6.98


Often voted near the top of best film polls, The Shawshank Redemption is easily the best thing Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman have been in – and to think that it started off life as a short story by Stephen King that very few had even bothered to read!

This high definition release looks and sounds brilliant, plus it comes with some decent special features as well. These include an audio commentary with director Frank Darabont, a few "making of" featurettes and other assorted bits and pieces.

A Celebration Of British Film £10.28

A Celebration Of British Film

The only reason that Titanic is included in the boxset titled A Celebration Of British Film must be that it features Kate Winslet, and she was born in England. An incredibly tenuous link I agree, but I can think of no other explanation (other than laziness).

Also included in this 10 disc boxset are another nine movies – An Affair To Remember, Chariots Of Fire, Confetti, A Fish Called Wanda, Four Weddings And A Funeral, The Full Monty, The King And I, Mrs Henderson Presents, and The Queen.

Amazon are selling this set for £10.28 – click here for more details.
