Paramount Triple Pack

I like boxsets that contain multiple films, mainly because you get more value for money (and I’m very tight, hence the reason for this site in the first place). This Paramount Triple Pack is right up my street then.

Inside you get three very good films - Beverly Hills Cop, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Top Gun. My personal preference is Top Gun, but the other two are equally excellent.

The Ashes 2005: The Greatest Series £3.96

The Ashes 2005: The Greatest Series

It’s rare that England win at anything (although I’m eternally hopeful that they triumph in any competition), so when they do it’s something we should celebrate. This is the case with The Ashes series from 2005.

The DVD release, titled The Ashes 2005: The Greatest Series, contains three discs of extended highlights, unseen material, behind-the-scenes chat and exclusive interviews of the momentous occasion.

uWish have this set available for just £3.96 - for more information, click here.

Transformers: The Complete Takara Collection £19.96

Transformers: The Complete Takara Collection

After the original Transformers series ended (which reminds me, the Transformers: Complete Generation One Collection boxset is still available for £29.96), the Japanese decided that they wanted more - and so, Transformers: Takara was born.

Completely disregarding the last three episodes of the US series and introducing a host of new characters, this is very different from the show you know and love. Fans will wet their pants with excitement about it though.

Battlestar Galactica: Seasons One To Three £30

Battlestar Galactica: Seasons One To Three

If you’ve missed the newer version of Battlestar Galactica, the Battlestar Galactica: Seasons One To Three boxset would be a good place to catch up - it contains every episode (including the mini-series) released on DVD so far.

I’ve personally enjoyed this incarnation more than the original series, although Dirk Benedict would be a nice addition - although I believe he’s too busy being brilliant to even notice.

Instore at Zavvi you can pick up this set for £30.

Gone With The Wind: Collector’s Edition From £2.98

Gone With The Wind: Collector's Edition

Everybody should know what Gone With The Wind is about, but if you’ve been living under a rock I’ll describe it for you. It’s a Civil War-era romance that’s on for nearly four hours - and won a whole stack of Academy Awards.

The Gone With The Wind: Collector’s Edition DVD set contains the film and countless hours of bonus material across four discs. You also get a reproduction of the original souvenir booklet that was sold between 1939 and 1941.

If you fancy this, click here to buy it for £2.98 (as long as you spend £15 or more, otherwise it’s £4.43 delivered) from Amazon.

Rocky: The Complete Saga £17.99

Rocky: The Complete Saga

Sylvester Stallone has had quite a varied career, but he’s been lucky enough to play two iconic characters - John Rambo and, my personal favourite, Rocky Balboa. The life and times of a boxer rising through the ranks and then losing everything makes for some great cinematic moments.

Rocky: The Complete Saga contains all six films made about the world’s favourite "bum", as well as some great special features on the first and last movies.

Click here to buy this collection for £17.99 from Movie Mail.

Transformers: Complete Generation One Collection £29.96

Transformers: Complete Generation One Collection

If you watched the Transformers film and haven’t ever seen the cartoon that kicked the whole franchise off, you’ve really been missing out! For an animated series, it’s still very watchable even now.

The Transformers: Complete Generation One Collection contains every single episode, as well as the Transformers: The Movie - Reconstructed animated film and a movie poster to go with it - all across a massive 14 discs!

uWish are selling this set for £29.96 - click here for more details.

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection £36.93

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection

Sherlock Holmes is a frightfully English detective, who would probably give Columbo a run for his books if they were around in the same timeline. He’s also quite a popular figure in terms of TV and film - there’s countless different versions available.

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection contains all 41 episodes from the four TV series’ that starred Jeremy Brett as the fictional detective. His trusty sidekick Dr Watson is portrayed by Edward Hardwicke in these installments.

Doctor Who: The Davros Collection £49.89

Doctor Who: The Davros Collection

The best baddie in the entire history of Doctor Who has to be Davros. Although he looks like a cross between a witch and Stone Cold Steve Austin, he’s one evil bugger - mess with him, and you’re better off dead.

Doctor Who: The Davros Collection contains 5 episodes of the show which feature our hero, as well as the 8 audio stories produced so far. You also get hours and hours of bonus material - so much, in fact, that it needs 8 discs to carry it all!

To get this set for £49.89 (a saving of over £50!) from Sendit.com, simply click here.

Fans of the Doctor may be interested in the spin-off from the newer incarnation, Torchwood - Torchwood: The Complete First Series is still available for £16.93.
