• Holiday Inn | DVD | (01/12/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Holiday Inn is the perennial Christmas-season favourite from 1942 that teams Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire as entertainers (and rival suitors of Marjorie Reynolds) running an inn that is only open on holidays. It's a great excuse for lots of singing and dancing, seamlessly wrapped in a catchy story, and Astaire's frequent director Mark Sandrich (Top Hat, Shall We Dance) doesn't let us down. The Irving Berlin numbers (each one connected to a different holiday) are winners, with Crosby's warm performance of "White Christmas" a movie touchstone. --Tom Keogh

• Liverpool Vs Leeds - 1965 F.A. Cup Final | DVD | (26/04/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  The 1965 FA Cup Final took place on 1 May 1965 at Wembley Stadium between Liverpool who had won the First Division the previous season but never the FA Cup and Leeds United who had won the Second Division Championship and been promoted the previous season however Leeds finished 2nd in the league in 1964-65 and Liverpool finished 7th. This engrossing tactical battle between two defence-minded teams was tough and uncompromising - a cynical and deliberate body check by Collins on Byrne fractured his collar bone in the 3rd minute. Byrne told Paisley but no one else and played on for a further 2 hours! Defensively Leeds were excellent but there was a lack of invention in their attack. The Collins-Bremner midfield machine for once failed to function their passes down the middle invariably mastered by Yeats and Smith. Liverpool on the other hand were always forcing their way forward with St. John and Hunt showing tremendous bursts of energy in particular. Every raid looked full of danger but Leeds survived. The game ran to extra time - the first Final to do so since 1947 and the additional period was played out in an atmosphere of great tension and drama before Liverpool were victorious and opened the floodgates to a stockpile of trophies under Shankly and Paisley.
