• Brat Pack Collection - Breakfast Club / About Last Night / St Elmo's Fire | DVD | (27/02/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  The Breakfast Club (Dir. John Hughes 1985): Without doubt John Hughes' The Breakfast Club is one of the greatest teen movies of all-time if not the best. Without it we might not have witnessed the phenomenal rise of the 'Brat Pack'; the group of actors synonymous with the teen films of the '80s. They were five teenage students with nothing in common faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their High School library. At 7am they had nothing to say but

• Mickey's Magical Christmas - Snowed In At The House Of Mouse | DVD | (17/11/2003) from £4.25   |  Saving you £7.74 (182.12%)   |  RRP £11.99

  Though promoted as a "full-length holiday movie", Mickey's Magical Christmas is more of a Christmas special spin-off from Disney's House of Mouse TV series. The premise is something like an animated Muppet Show: Mickey, Goofy and Donald run a nightclub for an audience of Disney characters, with plenty of songs, skits and cartoons. There's not much story to this holiday special--Mickey whips up an impromptu party for stranded guests and instils a "Humbug" quacking Donald with the holiday spirit--but it's full of sight gags and comic bits with dozens of Disney characters, from Ludwig von Duck to Pumba and Timmon. The special begins with the short Pluto's Christmas Tree and ends with the entire 1983 short film Mickey's Christmas Carol. However, the highlight is a comic retelling of The Nutcracker with Donald as a reluctant Mouse King (complete with phony Mickey Mouse ears) and John Cleese as the exasperated narrator. The special is utterly unmemorable as a whole, but nonetheless bright, light, cute and sure to keep the attentions of young tots. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

• Enid Blyton's The Famous Five - Five On Treasure Island | DVD | (13/09/2010) from £15.15   |  Saving you £2.84 (18.75%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Five on a Treasure Island (1957) adapted from Enid Blyton's perennially popular first Famous Five novel is a ripping adventure tale for kids and adults alike presented in eight exciting installments. Close to the spirit of the book this Children's Film Foundation serial is full of adventure mystery and lashings of ginger ale. The author herself helped to cast the film which follows the celebrated gang as they investigate strange goings-on at Kirrin Castle. Will the intrepid Five manage to foil dastardly antique shop owner Luke Undown's desperate attempt to steal Kirrin's treasure from under Uncle Quentin's nose? With enthusiastic and memorable performances from the well cast young actors this is a delightful serial which no Famous Five fan will want to be without.

  Wagner's passionate opera about a medieval minstrel torn between the temptations of sacred and profane love is seen here. A distinguished cast is headed by Richard Cassilly who was perhaps the leading exponent of Tannhauser at this time; Eva Marton is the radiant Elisabeth; Tatiana Troyanos a musically and dramatically stunning Venus.

• The Girl Who Knew Too Much | Blu Ray | (17/11/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  With a nod to Hitchcock and a wink in the direction of Agatha Christie The Girl Who Knew Too Much inadvertently created a genre that would dominate Italian cinema for years to come: the giallo. A young American secretary with a taste for lurid paperbacks witnesses a murder whilst visiting Rome - or does she? Nobody will believe her but she appears to have stumbled upon the work of a serial killer active ten years earlier. The victims' surnames began A B and C... and hers begins with the letter D! Starring the striking Letícia Román and John Saxon (Enter the Dragon Tenebrae A Nightmare on Elm Street) The Girl Who Knew Too Much is presented in both its original Italian version and the longer US cut entitled Evil Eye that was re-edited and re-scored by American International Pictures. Special Features: High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentation of two versions of the film: The Girl Who Knew Too Much - the original Italian version; and Evil Eye - the re-edited and re-scored US version prepared by American International Pictures Original uncompressed 2.0 mono PCM audio for both versions Optional English subtitles for The Girl Who Knew Too Much Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for Evil Eye Audio commentary by Mario Bava's biographer Tim Lucas Introduction by writer and critic Alan Jones All About the Girl - Filmmakers Luigi Cozzi (The Killer Must Kill Again) and Richard Stanley (Dust Devil) alongside authors Alan Jones (Profondo Argento) and Mikel Koven (La Dolce Morte) reflect on Mario Bava's classic giallo International trailer US trailer Reversible Sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphreys Illustrated collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by Kier-La Janisse.

• Magnolia - Single Disc Set (1999) | DVD | (02/01/2000) from £8.40   |  Saving you £7.59 (90.36%)   |  RRP £15.99

• Sleeper | DVD | (19/02/2001) from £9.43   |  Saving you £6.56 (69.57%)   |  RRP £15.99

  If Interiors was Woody Allen's Bergman movie, and Stardust Memories was his Fellini movie, then you could say that Sleeper is his Buster Keaton movie. Relying more on visual/conceptual/slapstick gags than his trademark verbal wit, Sleeper is probably the funniest of what would become known as Allen's "early, funny films" and a milestone in his development as a director. Allen plays Miles Monroe, cryogenically frozen in 1973 (he went into the hospital for an ulcer operation) and thawed 200 years later. Society has become a sterile, Big Brother-controlled dystopia, and Miles joins the underground resistance--joined by a pampered rich woman (Diane Keaton at her bubbliest). Among the most famous gags are Miles' attempt to impersonate a domestic-servant robot; the Orgasmatron, a futuristic home appliance that provides instant pleasure; a McDonald's sign boasting how many trillions the chain has served; and an inflatable suit that provides the means for a quick getaway. The kooky thawing scenes were later blatantly (and admittedly) ripped off by Mike Myers in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. --Jim Emerson

• Bad Santa | DVD | (14/11/2005) from £4.91   |  Saving you £15.08 (307.13%)   |  RRP £19.99

• Out For Justice | DVD | (22/11/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Steven Seagal has always been an awkward action hero. Initially, he had a certain amount of credibility thanks to his nebulous association with secret government agencies and mastery of Aikido, which helped to excuse his bad acting. But as a self-righteous action hero in the vein of Schwarzenegger and Stallone, Seagal fell into unintentional self-parody faster and more dramatically than either of his two predecessors. In Out for Justice, Seagal plays Gino Felino, a Brooklyn-born cop known and respected by everyone--both good and bad--in his neighbourhood. The worst of the baddies is Richie Madano (William Forsythe), a crack-smoking killer who murders his partner and terrorises all. Technically, Felino is a terrible cop--touching evidence at murder scenes, stealing evidence, intimidating witnesses--but only by breaking those rules can he bring in this horrible criminal. As his soon-to-be-ex-wife discovers, he does everything because he cares too much. Julianna Margulies (ER) has a small but thankless role as Richie's hooker girlfriend, and Gina Gershon (Bound, Showgirls) has an equally thankless role as his foul-mouthed, bar-owning sister. --Andy Spletzer, Amazon.com

• Comancheros, The / The Undefeated | DVD | (02/06/2003) from £10.78   |  Saving you £4.21 (39.05%)   |  RRP £14.99

  This is a John Wayne Western double-bill featuring The Comancheros (1961) and The Undefeated (1969). Nobody made a fuss about The Comancheros when it came out, yet it has proved to be among the most enduringly entertaining of John Wayne's later Westerns. The Duke, just beginning to crease and thicken toward Rooster Cogburn proportions, plays a veteran Texas Ranger named Jake Cutter who joins forces with a New Orleans dandy (Stuart Whitman) to subdue rampaging Indians and the evil white men behind their uprising. The Comancheros was the last credit for Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), who, ravaged by cancer, ceded much of the direction to Wayne (uncredited) and action specialist Cliff Lyons. With support from Wayne stalwarts James Edward Grant (co-screenplay) and William Clothier (camera), the first of many rousing Elmer Bernstein scores for a Wayne picture and a big, flavourful cast including Lee Marvin (the once and future Liberty Valance), Nehemiah Persoff, Bruce Cabot, and Guinn "Big Boy" Williams (in his last movie), they made a broad, cheerfully bloodthirsty adventure movie for red-meat-eating audiences of all ages. In The Undefeated Wayne and Rock Hudson each play a Civil War commander who, after the ceasefire, lead a community of folks into Mexico to make a fresh start. Hudson is a Southern gentleman; Wayne commanded the Yankee cavalry at Shiloh, where Hudson's brother died. Nevertheless, Rock, with his extended family, and Duke, with his troop of cowboys and 3,000 horses to sell to Emperor Maximilian, soon join forces to outgun banditos and beam paternally over the budding romance between their respective daughter and son. Lingering North-South animosities are celebrated in an obligatory communal fistfight, and the showdown with both Maximilian's lancers and the rebel Juaristas is disconcertingly perfunctory. --Richard T Jameson

• Ncis: Seasons 1-13 | DVD | (11/12/2017) from £89.99   |  Saving you £-17.73 (N/A%)   |  RRP £72.26

More than just an action-packed drama, NCIS shows the sometimes complex, always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together under high-stress situations.

• Jungle Book | DVD | (27/03/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Disney's 1967 animated feature The Jungle Book seems even more entertaining now than it did upon first release, with a hall-of-fame vocal performance by Phil Harris as Baloo, the genial bear friend of feral child Mowgli. Loosely based on Rudyard Kipling's original, the film goes its own way as Disney animation will, but the strong characters and smart casting (George Sanders as the villainous tiger, Shere Khan) make it one of the studio's stronger feature-length cartoons. Songs include "The Bare Necessities" and "Trust in Me". --Tom Keogh

• The Last Panthers | Blu Ray | (07/03/2016) from £13.24   |  Saving you £16.75 (126.51%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Samantha Morton, Tahar Rahim and John Hurt star in The Last Panthers, a thrilling six-part crime drama series for Sky Atlantic and CANAL+. Based on real events, The Last Panthers delivers full-blown action, big emotion, cinematic vision and storylines worthy of a Greek tragedy. At the beginning of the millennium, capital cities across Europe - from London to Liechtenstein - were targeted in a series of daring jewellery robberies. They were carried out by the ˜Pink Panthers' a gang famed for their bold daylight raids and movie-style getaways. But after terrorising Europe's jewellers for a decade, they suddenly disappeared. Now, a heist in the south of France bears all the hallmarks of the Panthers. Apart from one tragic difference: the death of a little girl during the getaway. The death sparks a series of events across Europe that sets a British insurance loss adjuster, a French-Algerian cop and a Serbian soldier-turned-diamond thief on a dramatic and dangerous collision course. What starts with diamonds, leads to guns, drugs, high-finance and involves the corridors of power in the EU, the City of London and the murky world of Europe's criminal underworld. Through the eyes of our main characters we travel back and forth between London, Marseille, Belgrade and Bosnia and between the dark days of the 1995 Balkan conflict, through the evolution of organized crime in Europe, to the modern day world of gangsters and Euro banks and its new breed of criminal - the ˜Banskters'

• Executive Decision | DVD | (24/05/1999) from £5.26   |  Saving you £8.73 (165.97%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Steven Seagal gets killed during the first 20 minutes of this enjoyable thriller, so Executive Decision scores points for ingenuity because it immediately improves when you realise that Seagal's role is just a heroic cameo. That leaves Kurt Russell to star as an American intelligence expert who (due to Seagal's untimely demise) finds himself leading a strike force against Islamic terrorists who have seized in-flight control of a 747 jetliner with 400 passengers. It's not all that different from Air Force One, but the formula story perks right along with considerable suspense as Russell's cohorts (Oliver Platt, Joe Morton) try to defuse a chemical bomb that could wipe out (you guessed it) the entire Eastern seaboard. John Leguizamo plays one of the US commandos attempting to stop the violent hijackers and Halle Berry co-stars as a flight attendant who risks her life to assist Russell's rescue team. As action movies go, Executive Decision marked an impressive directorial debut for veteran film editor Stuart Baird. --Jeff Shannon
