Superman: Ultimate Collector’s Edition Boxset £17.99

With five Superman films having been made thus far, it's inevitable that we'll see "The Man Of Steel" return to the big-screen again some time in the future – however, Warner Brothers were apparently unhappy with the amount of money Superman Returns made so have put the franchise on ice.

The massive 13 disc Superman: Ultimate Collector's Edition Boxset contains Superman: The Movie, Superman II, Superman III, Superman IV: The Quest For Peace and the aforementioned Superman Returns. There's also far too many extra features to mention, including audio commentaries on each movie and numerous featurettes and documentaries.

Play.com are selling this for £17.99 – click here for more details.

Monty Python: The Monster Boxset £36.98

As hard as it may seem to believe, it's now actually 40 years since Monty Python first appeared together as a group on our screens – since that time we've been lucky enough to see from them some of the funniest comedy that has ever come out of the UK.

Inside the Monty Python: The Monster Boxset you'll find pretty much everything they have ever done. Every episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus is included, as are And Now For Something Completely Different, Monty Python's Life Of Brian, Monty Python And The Holy Grail and Monty Python's Meaning Of Life, plus Monty Python: Live At The Hollywood Bowl is in there too – rounding things off are a t-shirt and an inflatable parrot (!).

Minder: The Complete Collection £39.95

Minder was a British comedy/drama about the London criminal underworld which starred Dennis Waterman as honest and likable bodyguard Terry McCann and George Cole as unscrupulous businessman Arthur Daley. A new series was produced in 2009, with Shane Ritchie in the lead role of Archie Daley, but the least said about that the better…

Inside the Minder: The Complete Collection boxset you'll find a whopping 33 discs which contain all 108 episodes ever made. Also included are some text commentaries, a photo gallery and a brand-new interview with George Cole.

The Long Good Friday (Blu-Ray) £6.98

Bob Hoskins might not seem like the kind of actor who would make a decent gangster if you've seen him in the old British Gas adverts or Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, but he is exactly this in the brilliant British film The Long Good Friday.

As well as looking and sounding as good as it ever has, this high definition release also includes some excellent bonus material. An audio commentary with director John Mackenzie is good, but the "Bloody Business" documentary on the making of the movie is even better.

Laurel and Hardy: The Collection £34.98

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy quite rightly go down in history as one of the best comedy duos ever. Even in these modern times, it's very easy to spend hours watching them at work – and what better way to do it than with Laurel and Hardy: The Collection.

This huge 21 disc set contains many of their best work, and some of the films are also presented in colour. Although some may be surprised to still find these funny, don't be – classic comedy still seems that much better than some of the newer stuff (with rare exceptions).

Amazon are selling this boxset for £34.98 – click here for more details.

The Professionals: The Complete Series £27.47

The Professionals is a British crime-action drama series that aired on ITV between 1977 and 1983. It followed agents from the fictional CI5 department, who deal with crimes of a serious nature (but are not tasks for the secret service or military).

Inside The Professionals: The Complete Series boxset you'll find 16 discs which contain all 57 episodes ever produced. Sadly there are no extra features included, even though some have been made – cast members claim to have been interviewed for featurettes at least, anyway.

Porridge: The Complete Collection £14.99

Porridge is a British situation comedy which was broadcast on BBC1 between 1974 and 1977. It starred Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale as two inmates at the fictional H.MP. Slade in Cumberland – with the title of the show coming from "doing porridge", which is the slang term for imprisonment (porridge was once traditional breakfast in U.K. prisons).

Inside the Porridge: The Complete Collection boxset you'll find four discs which contain every episode ever made, including the two Christmas specials. Sadly there are no extra features, but you can't have everything I suppose!

HMV have this available for £14.99 – for more information, click here.

Seven Samurai £6.99

Seven Samurai is a Japanese film which takes place in Warring States Period Japan, and follows the story of a village of farmers who hire seven masterless samurai to combat bandits who will return after the harvest to steal their crops.

This film is often described as one of the greatest and most influential ever made, so it's fitting that this DVD is top quality. Along with a remastered picture which has never looked better and sound which is clearer than ever, you'll find an audio commentary with historian Philip Kemp.
