Every year we see classic movies getting re-packaged and re-released, more often than not offering true film fans little extra for their hard-earned cash, but 2011 has given us some greats; a few brilliant stand-alone releases, and a couple of boxsets you just can’t ignore (four of which can be seen below, and purchased directly from amazon.co.uk by clicking their respective titles); beginning with one of the most famous film franchises in history…
Harry Potter 1-8, Best Comedy Films, Best Superhero Films, Best Children’s Films, Best Family Films
Star Wars: The Complete Saga
was released on Blu-ray earlier this year, and brings all six films into the hi-def world with a bang; including over 40 hours of bonus materials, and three separate releases (the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, and the complete saga); that make it one of the year’s best buys.
Star Wars really has never been seen like this before, and as the saga comes to Blu-ray with 6.1 DTS Surround Sound, a host of deleted and extended scenes, some never-before-seen footage sourced from the Lucasfilm archives, and all the interviews, commentaries, and featurettes the fans have loved in the past, there’s never been a better time to revisit Luke, Han, Chewy, Leia, Yoda, Vader, C3P0, R2D2 and some of cinema’s most iconic scenes, by taking a look back to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
