“Essential Art House–50 Years of Janus Films”
JANUS, $650 *
What do you get the film geek who has everything? It’s a trick question; no film geek has everything. Still, they’ll come awfully close with this set that includes 50 of the greatest films ever made.
“Six Feet Under–The Complete Series Gift Set”
HBO, $279.98
The clever headstone packaging alone will appeal to anyone’s inner undertaker, but this boxed set offers every episode of the cult fave for a price that amounts to less than buying each individual seasons.
“Saturday Night Live–The Complete First Season”
UNIVERSAL, $69.98
This collection is the first time the late-night comedy show has been released in season sets, beginning with 1975’s first. Which means original musical performers, too–like ABBA!
“Dazed and Confused”
CRITERION, $39.95
Richard Linklater’s cult favorite will take any fan of the ’70s back. And the oodles of bonus features and supplementary materials will keep them busy until next year.
“Friends–The Complete Series”
Warner Bros., $299.98
Yeah, the reruns air constantly, but if they like some “Friends,” they like all of “Friends,” making this massive set their best friend.
“Superman Ultimate Collector’s Edition”
WARNER BROS., $99.98
This metal-housed, 14-disc box of all five “Superman” films to date contains more super-features than any fan could possibly imagine.
“Forbidden Planet”
WARNER BROS., $59.98
The classic ’50s sci-fi flick has aged remarkably well, both for its ideas and special effects, so that’s reason enough to snag this special edition. As a sweet bonus, the box includes a little Robby the Robot doll.
“An Inconvenient Truth”
PARAMOUNT, $29.99
What can be more convenient than a DVD that comes prepackaged with a gift card printed on it? The case is recyclable too.
