Black Hawk Down: Special Edition £3.99

Black Hawk Down is a fairly decent film about a disastrous mission in Somalia on October the 3rd 1993, where nearly 100 U.S. Army Rangers were dropped by helicopter deep into the capital city of Mogadishu to capture two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord - this leads to a large and chaotic firefight which results in the destruction of two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters.

The Black Hawk Down: Special Edition DVD is a three disc set that comes loaded with bonus material. Three audio commentaries, deleted scenes and a documentary on the true story are just scratching the surface of what’s contained within.

Arrested Development: Season One £7.99

One of the smartest comedy shows to come out of the US in recent times (along with Curb Your Enthusiasm) is Arrested Development. The adventures of Michael Bluth and his dysfunctional family make for some hilarious moments.

Arrested Development: Season One contains all 22 episodes from the first year, as well as a whole host of bonus material - from audio commentaries to deleted scenes via documentaries, there’s a lot here.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season £13.99

If you were always curious about what happened between the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, then Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles aims to plug this gap in the story.

Sarah Connor and her son John find themselves alone in a dangerous and complicated world after the events of Terminator 2. Always on the run as fugitives from the law, they realise that enemies from the past, present or future could attack at any moment.

The Condemned (Blu-Ray) £7

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is probably best known for being a wrestler, which you would think might help him when making the transition to acting. Sadly, it doesn’t - in The Condemned he’s basically playing the same character he did in the WWE.

Think of the film as an adult version of Battle Royale, where 10 condemned killers from all corners of the world are taken to a remote island and forced to fight to the death.

Instore at Asda you can get this Blu-Ray release for only £7.

Into The Wild £5

Into The Wild is based on the true story of Christopher McCandless, who walked out on his privileged life and into the wild in search of adventure. Was he a heroic adventurer, or a naive idealist?

This film has been adapted from the equally great book by Jon Krakauer by Sean Penn, and also features a great soundtrack performed by Eddie Vedder (guitarist and lead singer of Pearl Jam).

Pop in to your local Asda and pick this DVD up for only £5.

Black Books: Series’ Two And Three £3.95 Each

Bill Bailey is more known now for Never Mind The Buzzcocks, but the stuff he did before it is well worth catching - such is the case with Black Books.

Bernard Black, who owns the grubby bookshop known as Black Books, prefers the company of his books to his customers. Devoted to the twin pleasures of excessive drinking and wilful antagonism, Bernard enriches his life and the lives of his only two friends (Manny and Fran) in the process.

base.com have Black Books: The Complete Second Series priced at just £3.95 - click here for more information.

Dylan Moran and Tamsin Greig also star in the Channel 4 show, and a whole host of guest stars (including Simon Pegg) also crop up from time-to-time.

Black Books: The Complete Third Series contains the final six episodes ever made. It’s very doubtful whether any more will be made in the future.

Click here to get this DVD for the same price of £3.95 from base.com.

You might also be interested to learn that these are both part of a 5 DVDs for £15 offer running at base.com. There’s some other decent titles available, so I recommend checking it out.

Alfred Hitchcock Boxset £17.99

Alfred Hitchcock is easily one of the greatest director’s of all time. Never has anyone deserved the moniker given to them as much as he does with "The Master Of Suspense".

This Alfred Hitchcock Boxset contains 14 of his very best films (including Vertigo, The Birds and a Psycho: Special Edition DVD) and a documentary on his life.
