Bambi: Special Edition £5.99

Bambi: Special Edition

If you’ve seen Bambi at some point in your life and never cried or felt a little upset, then you’re either not human or you’re slightly mental. Even through this sadness, it’s one of the better Disney films around.

The Bambi: Special Edition DVD contains the movie on the first disc, whilst the second is filled with bonus material - ranging from deleted scenes to an animated short that influenced the artists.

Instore at Morrisons you can currently get this for just £5.99.

The Mr Men And Little Miss DVD Collection £21.96

The Mr Men And Little Miss DVD Collection

If your ever stuck for something that will keep young kids entertained for a while, then I can heartily recommend The Mr Men And Little Miss DVD Collection. The books are excellent, and these animated stories are equally as good.

This 12 disc set contains a whopping 146 classic tales. Running for just over 14 hours, this will take quite some time to get through.

If you fancy this, click here to get it for £21.96 from uWish.

There’s very possibly more, so be sure to take a look and see if you can find some decent cheap DVDs.

Green Wing: The Complete First And Second Series’ £5.95 Each

Green Wing: The Complete First Series

Channel 4 is the home of offbeat comedy. With such shows as Peep Show, Father Ted and Darth Marenghi’s Darkplace under their belt, many agree they are brilliant. Good on them.

Green Wing is another hit from the broadcaster which is as good as any of those mentioned above. Being set in a hospital makes for some very good material, as you can imagine.

base.com have Green Wing: The Complete First Series available for £5.95 - click here for more details.

Green Wing: The Complete Second Series

Green Wing: The Complete Second Series takes over where the first series left off, and provides us with even more daft comedy moments. Lucky old us.

Hospitals have been lampooned in the past (Surgical Spirit anyone?), but I’m of the firm belief this is one of the better attempts.

Click here to buy this set for £5.95 from base.com.

Green Wing Special

In order to round-off the story, a Green Wing Special was made. Will there be a happy ending? Will anyone die? Will I get any more question marks here? No.

I’d only recommend this if you’ve seen the rest of the series’ as it’s not anywhere near as good as they were. It is cheaper than the series boxsets though.

If you fancy this set, click here to get it for £3.95 from base.com.

Star Wars: Episodes IV-VI - Limited Editions £4.99 Each

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (Limited Edition)

When Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope was released in 1977, I very much doubt that anybody could have believed how popular a franchise it was about to become.

Starting off with the fourth installment was also a bit of a ballsy move. The fact that we didn’t get to see the first three episodes until over 20 years later seemed irrelevant at the time (some might even say making episodes one to three was a bit pointless, but I digress).

To get this DVD (which contains both the original theatrical and "Special Edition" versions of the film) for £4.99 from Play.com, simply click here.

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (Limited Edition)

After the success of A New Hope, a sequel (well, continuation of the story) seemed inevitable. And so in 1980 Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back graced the big screen.

The Imperial forces are still continuing to pursue the rebels across the galaxy. After the rebellion’s defeat on the ice planet Hoth, Luke Skywalker travels to the planet Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda. Not too long after this, Darth Vader lures young Skywalker into a trap in the Cloud City of Bespin in order to try and convert him to the Dark Side…

Click here to buy this Limited Edition DVD (which also contains both theatrical and "Special Edition" versions of the film) for the same price of £4.99 from Play.com.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi (Limited Edition)

To finish off the story (for now at least anyway), Star Wars: Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi appeared in 1983. What a wonderful year that was, for I graced the Earth with my presence - in no way does this statement make me an egomaniac.

See the epic conclusion to the saga, as the Empire prepares to crush the rebellion with a more powerful Death Star while the rebel fleet mounts a massive attack on the space station.

Play.com also have this DVD (which again has both theatrical and "Special Edition" versions on it) priced at £4.99 - click here for more details.

George Michael: Twenty Five £4.99

George Michael: Twenty Five is one of those cheap DVDs filled with music videos

George Michael has been going for roughly as many years as I’ve been born. Hence the reason for the title of this DVD - George Michael: Twenty Five. See what he did there?

This two disc set contains a massive 59 of his music videos, many of which you’ll no doubt have seen before. It’s even got some Wham! stuff as well, which is nice.

Lost Worlds Vanished Lives: The Complete Series £5.49

Lost Worlds Vanished Lives: The Complete Series

David Attenborough is great in that he manages to make natural documentary series’ that are more accessible than most others. Heck, even I get interested when he starts to speak!

Lost Worlds Vanished Lives: The Complete Series examines fossils and the part they have to play in helping us understand the past. The four episodes are titled "Magic In The Rocks", "Putting Flesh On Bone", "Dinosaur" and "The Rare Glimpses".

HMV are selling this DVD for £5.49 - for more information, click here.

Heroes: Season One (HD-DVD) £17.95

Heroes: Season One (HD-DVD)

If you’re capable of playing HD-DVDs, you’ll probably know by now that the format is dead and retailers have decided to reduce the price of any stock they have left.

Heroes: Season One has appeared again - it was cheaper before at HMV, but they’ve since increased the cost from £12.99 to a ridiculous £68.99. Well done HMV, you clueless fools.
