The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) (Blu-Ray) £9.97

If anything good can come out of the recent remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, perhaps it’s that people may decide to see how good the original is. The story of a humanoid alien visitor who comes to Earth with a warning is as brilliant now as it was when it was released.

As well as having a picture and sound quality that is much better than ever before, this also comes with tons of bonus material. Two audio commentaries, six featurettes, and the "A Brief History Of Flying Saucers" documentary are just scratching the surface of what you’ll find.

Dirty Dancing: 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition (Blu-Ray) £7.98

Dirty Dancing details the moment in time that a teenage girl crosses over into womanhood, both physically and emotionally, through a relationship with a dance instructor during a family summer vacation. As strange as it may seem now, this was originally a low-budget film by a new studio, with no major stars (at the time), which became a massive box office hit.

The Dirty Dancing: 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray release looks and sounds fantastic in high definition. There are also many extra features included, such as two audio commentaries, four featurettes, interviews, deleted scenes, and three music videos.

Poltergeist: The Legacy – Season One £9.99

Despite the Poltergeist name, there seems to be no real connection between Poltergeist: The Legacy and the films, aside from it being intended as a spin-off from them. The series tells the story of the members of a secret society (known as the Legacy), and their efforts to protect humans from occult dangers.

All 22 installments from the first year can be found in the Poltergeist: The Legacy – Season One boxset. A total of four seasons were produced, but it’s unclear whether these will be released at any point in the future.

Play.com have this set available for £9.99 – for more information, click here.

Tropic Thunder: Special Edition £9.43

Tropic Thunder is an action satire that stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr. as a group of prima donna actors making a Vietnam War movie when their fed-up writer and director decides to drop them in the middle of a jungle – forcing them to portray their roles without the comforts of a film set.

The Tropic Thunder: Special Edition release is a three disc set that comes with all sorts of goodies. The first contains an extended version of the movie (running an extra 14 minutes in length) and a couple of audio commentaries, whilst the second holds five featurettes, deleted scenes, and the "Rain Of Madness" documentary – the third disc is a digital copy of the film which can be played in portable media devices.

Time Bandits: 25th Anniversary Edition £3.93

Time Bandits is a 1981 fantasy film written, produced and directed by Terry Gilliam. It’s a twisted adventure that sees a young schoolboy swept along in a crime spree through the holes of history by a gang of small thieves – they can entertain a testy Napoleon, outsmart a not-too-bright Robin Hood, trick the heroic King Agamemnon and destroy the dark forces of Evil, but will they survive the very astounding wrath of The Supreme Being himself?

The Time Bandits: 25th Anniversary Edition DVD comes with two discs that are packed full of extra features. The first has an audio commentary with Gilliam and some of the cast, whilst the second has interviews, a deleted scene script and storyboards, and some other short bits and bobs.

Prehistoric Park was a docu-fiction mini-series that aired on ITV1 in 2006. David Jason narrated the programme, while Nigel Marvin presented – the fictional component being the theme that Marvin goes back to various geological time periods, and brings back live specimens of extinct animals to be displayed in the fictional park of the series’ name.

The DVD contains all six installments, along with a photo gallery, original storyboards, and a featurette titled "Building The Impossible" which looks at the making of the show.

The Manchurian Candidate, The Sum Of All Fears And Rules Of Engagement Triple Pack £5.83

Quite often you’ll find that buying double or triple packs can be something of a lottery – there’s usually at least one decent film, but on the flip side there’s usually at least one absolute stinker as well!

It’s good news then that The Manchurian Candidate, The Sum Of All Fears and Rules Of Engagement triple pack is one such example that breaks the rule. The 2004 re-imagining of The Manchurian Candidate in particular is excellent, whilst the other two are enjoyable action/drama movies.

If you fancy this, click here to buy it for £5.83 from The Hut.

Back To The Future Trilogy: Ultimate Edition £8.89

It’s hard to imagine now that the time travel device in the first Back To The Future film was originally planned to be a fridge – only for the production team to decide it might be a bit dangerous if any kids tried to do the same thing! There was never any intention in doing a sequel either, but thank the Lord that they did.

The Back To The Future Trilogy: Ultimate Edition boxset contains all three entries in the series, which each come with hours and hours of bonus material. Also included is a bonus disc that holds all of the stuff that was missing from the previous DVD release (an audio track, deleted scenes, and a Huey Lewis And The Music video being the highlights).
