Right now there’s a Play.com 3 for 2 on Blu-Rays offer running, which features some very good titles at not-too-shabby prices.

Many big releases are included, such as Wall-E and Cloverfield, so I’m sure that you’ll find something of interest.

UPDATE: It’s worth bumping this back up a bit, as more has been added. Many of the James Bond HD releases are in there, along with the first four Batman films.

The Charles Dickens Collection £41.99

It’s hard to believe that for the sheer amount of quality novels he authored, Charles Dickens only lived to the age of 58. When you consider that he died in 1870, it’s equally impressive that many are still held in high regard – I have to say that I’m a bit partial to some of his books too, when I find the time.

The Charles Dickens Collection is a 12 disc boxset that contains eight BBC adaptations. A Christmas Carol, A Tale Of Two Cities, Oliver Twist, Pickwick Papers, Martin Chuzzlewit, Our Mutual Friend, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations are all decent and faithful to the source material.

Kung Fu Panda £6.93

The success of animated films continues with Kung Fu Panda, which has made just over half a billion dollars since its release. Not bad going for something that had been languishing in development hell since 1993.

When a malevolent snow leopard threatens The Valley Of Peace and its inhabitants, it falls upon Po, a panda more used to slacking off than facing great challenges, to master the ways of Kung Fu and defeat his rival…

The Little Mermaid: Special Edition £6

The Little Mermaid is a Disney animated film that is based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name. After a string of disappointments, this helped breath life back into the genre and kicked off a brilliant ten years for the House Of Mouse.

The Little Mermaid: Special Edition DVD is packed with bonus material. The first disc has a commentary and music video, whilst the second contains tons more (including deleted scenes, featurettes, and an extensive documentary on the making of the movie).

Tesco are selling this for £6 – click here for more details.

On The Buses Triple Pack £5.99

Even though the ITV series On The Buses wasn’t a favourite with the critics, audiences lapped up the antics of Butler, Blakey, and company. The success led to three feature-length films being made, with the first for a time being the top movie at the British box office.

The On The Buses triple pack contains all three spin-off films – On The Buses, Holiday On The Buses, and Mutiny On The Buses. Although younger viewers might not find them all that funny, older people will enjoy these movies greatly.

Quarantine £7.99

Quarantine is a remake of the Spanish horror film "Rec", and sees a television reporter stumble across some unknown infection in an an apartment building whilst making a report on the night shift of a Los Angeles fire station. How many of them will get out alive? Take a wild guess…

The DVD comes with an audio commentary by the director and producer, and a couple of featurettes on the making of the movie and the make-up design.

Willy Wonka Double Pack £4.49

Have you seen both of the cinematic versions of Roald Dahl’s classic childrens book Charlie And The Chocolate Factory? Undecided which is best?

Gene Wilder was the star of Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, whilst Johnny Depp took the lead role in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory – both are very good in their own rights (although I personally prefer the Wilder one).

Fast Food Nation £1.99

Whilst "Super Size Me" was quite ridiculous (eating burgers every day makes you unhealthy – who would have thought it?), the book "Fast Food Nation" at least looks at the influence the fast food industry has on the world at large. The film of the same name is very loosely based on the book, but is actually a drama instead of a documentary.

A couple of exclusive interviews and a featurette are the sum total of extra features to be found on the DVD. There’s also a trailer as well, however I think most people skip past them (at least I do anyway).

Play.com have this available for only £1.99 – for more information, click here.
