Lucky Number Slevin £1.93

With a fairly impressive cast, which includes Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis amongst others, and a gripping storyline from beginning to end, Lucky Number Slevin is something of a hidden gem – chances are that you probably won’t even know anyone who’s seen it!

The DVD only comes with a 13 minute featurette which looks at the making of the movie, but at this price I very much doubt that a lack of bonus material will stop you from at least considering a purchase.

Supernatural: The Complete Third Season (Blu-Ray) £17.87

Supernatural is an American drama/horror series about two brothers who hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal. Travelling across America in their black 1967 Chevrolet Impala, they investigate strange events and unexplained occurences – many of which are based on folklore, myths and urban legends.

With the Supernatural: The Complete Third Season Blu-Ray release you get all 16 episodes from the third year in glorious high definition. There’s also a couple of featurettes looking at the making of the show, some extended scenes and a gag reel in terms of bonus material.

Coast: Series Two – The Journey Continues £3.93

Never have our British Isles looked more magnificent than they do in the BBC documentary series Coast, which is presented by historian Neil Oliver (he who sports the wonderfully 80’s style mullet) from the second series onwards.

Coast: Series Two – The Journey Continues is a three disc set which contains all eight installments from 2006. There are sadly no special features, but I’m sure that the episodes themselves will be entertaining enough.

Romantic Comedy Boxset £7.89

It’s worth pointing out straight away that this Romantic Comedy Boxset contains a total of six very good, mainly British, films – although for some strange reason known only to the producers of the set, the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice is one of them (and it’s far from being funny in the slightest).

The other five are About A Boy, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason, Love Actually and Notting Hill. An interesting connection between these five are that Hugh Grant stars in them all – portraying similar characters in at least four.

Doctor Who: Bred For War – The Sontaran Collection £8.93

To coincide with the return of the Sontarans in the newer version of the series, Doctor Who: Bred For War – The Sontaran Collection was released in May 2008. Whilst maybe not as famous as some of the other enemies in the show, over the years these extraterrestrial humanoids have proven a formidable challenge for the Doctor.

All four complete stories that feature the creatures from the classic series are included in this five disc boxset. "The Time Warrior" contains an audio commentary and additional CGI shots, "The Sontaran Experiment" also comes with a commentary and the "Built For War" documentary, "The Invasion Of Time" contains three featurettes and some more CGI shots, and "The Two Doctors" is loaded with special features (such as two extensive documentaries and yet another audio commentary).

The Terry-Thomas Collection £3.99

Thomas Terry Hoar-Stevens, or Terry-Thomas as he’s better known, was a distinctive English comic actor. He was most famous for his portrayal of disreputable members of the upper classes, especially cads and such catchphrases as "What an absolute shower!" and "Good show!".

The The Terry-Thomas Collection contains three of his very best works, in the form of Make Mine Mink, The Naked Truth and Too Many Crooks. Even today these are all still very funny to watch, which just goes to show how talented the guy really was.

Notting Hill And About A Boy Double Pack £3

Hugh Grant has had a bit of trouble with the media over the years because of some questionable incidents in his private life, but this shouldn’t take away from the fact that he’s a pretty decent actor – some may say he basically plays the same character in every film, but they’d be wrong…most of the time.

The Notting Hill and About A Boy double pack contains two movies where Grant is at his very best in two different lead roles. Notting Hill sees him play a witty and handsome bookstore owner, whilst he’s a bit of a cad in About A Boy.

Tesco have this available for £3 – for more information, click here.

W.C. Fields: The Movie Collection £12.89

W.C. Fields was an American comedian who created one of the greatest comic personas of the first half of the 20th century – a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist who remained a sympathetic character despite his snarling contempt for dogs, children and women.

Inside the W.C. Fields: The Movie Collection boxset you’ll find 17 of his most classic films, including "It’s A Gift", "You’re Telling Me!" and "Man On The Flying Trapeze". Sadly there are no special features to speak of, but these movies are entertaining enough for that to not matter much at all.
