Buy used from: £25.00
One of my all time fave films in one of CDA Entertainments deluxe editions, complete with lobby cards, stills and that all important Senitype. Pity the disc itself didn't have the features of...
Ben Hur (4 Disc Special Edition) [1959]Ben Hur (4 Disc Special Edition) [1959]
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £5.99
... this gem! 4 discs does justice to the available archive material, including the original silent version!
The Perfect Storm (Deluxe Series) [2000]The Perfect Storm (Deluxe Series) [2000]
My first CDA boxset. Much maligned and written off as a "watch once wonder" by many, it really is worth a second chance.

Most recently aquired CDA boxset and at a bargain price (always useful) this one even has a hardback screenplay!

The Frighteners [1996]The Frighteners [1996]
Buy new: £19.99 / Used from: £5.49
No pop-up ghosts or anything, but this is a lost gem, and worth having for the cover image alone.
Hellboy (Director's Cut) [2004]Hellboy (Director's Cut) [2004]
Buy new: £14.48 / Used from: £8.80
More extras than hours in the day, a credit to the film-makers original vision from begining to end.

Buy used from: £12.94

Just a tip on this one- if you don't want to spend the next 6 months polishing fingerprints off the Sphere, leave it in its box!
Event Horizon (2 Disc Special Collector's Edition Shaped Box Set) [1997]Event Horizon (2 Disc Special Collector's Edition Shaped Box Set) [1997]
Buy used from: £18.99
Funny one this- either it isn't as limited as was first advertised, or it is and Amazon have got their hands on a secret stash of them; either way, worth getting before they disappear.
