The 80’s Movie Club: For Tough Guys £10.72

By looking at the title of The 80’s Movie Club: For Tough Guys boxset, you’d think that all of the films inside it would be of a certain ilk (i.e. from the action and/or comedy genres). Four of them are, but the inclusion of Rain Man is a little bit on the odd side – the story of a man who has a brother with limited mental abilities isn’t exactly high on the list of most male recommendations.

Raging Bull, The Terminator, Platoon and Die Hard are much more in tune with the name of the set though. Each feature a lot of action, with Die Hard in particular having many explosions and violent death scenes.

Death Sentence (2007) £2.89

After his son is murdered by a gang as part of an initiation ritual, Nick Hume becomes a vengeful vigilante killer in Death Sentence (2007). This film is very loosely based on Brian Garfield’s 1975 novel of the same name (which is a sequel to Death Wish), although there are only minor similarities between the two.

Sadly the DVD only comes with a featurette on the making of a particular scene in the movie, which seems like a bit of a missed opportunity to me – a commentary with actor Kevin Bacon would have been nice, for a start.

Monty Python’s Flying Circus: Series One And Two £3.95 Each

Monty Python’s Flying Circus was a BBC sketch programme from the highly educated Monty Python comedy team, whose members include Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Terry Gilliam. The show was noted for its surreality, risqué or innuendo-laden humour, sight gags, and sketches without punchlines.

Inside both the first and second series DVD sets of Monty Python’s Flying Circus you’ll find 13 episodes of top quality comedy. There are no extra features, but the material contained within each should be enough to satisfy most that enjoy a laugh or two.

Zavvi have Monty Python’s Flying Circus: The Complete First Series available for £3.95 – for more information, click here. They are also selling Monty Python’s Flying Circus: The Complete Second Series (click here) for the same price.

Seinfeld: Seasons Five And Six – Gift Set £8.96

One of the greatest comedy series’ of all time has to be Seinfeld, it’s just a pity that it got treated so badly when it was screened over here. Although it’s a "show about nothing", the laughs always come thick and fast.

The Seinfeld: Seasons Five And Six – Gift Set contains all 46 episodes from the two years, but the best bit is the replica of the infamous "Puffy Shirt" – which looks fantastic, even if it is a little bit on the small side (i.e. you can’t wear it yourself!).
