Films for escapists

	The Illusionist [DVD] [2006] Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £2.18 Good old fashioned story telling, a beautifully woven plot and visually striking. "The Illusionist" is a wonderful piece of escapism.
	Batman Begins - 1 Disc Edition [DVD] [2005] Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.48 Another example of masterful story telling. Rounded out by a superb cast and flawless visuals.
	Back To The Future Trilogy [DVD] [1985] Buy new: £19.78 / Used from: £7.07 A classic series that it's impossible not to love, despite the 80s vibe
	The Prestige [DVD] [2006] Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £1.79 Requires careful attention to get the most out of all the clever twists and turns, but its totally worth it.
	Spirited Away [DVD] Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.95 Imaginative, heartfelt and magical. Enjoyable even for those who are not hard-core anime fans.
	Memoirs of a Geisha [DVD] [2005] Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.47 Features the most gorgeous art direction I've seen in a while. The book's worth a read too!
	Atonement [DVD] [2007] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.24 I'm not usually a fan of Keira Knightley, but she is a poignant presence in this film. I defy anybody to watch this film without feeling their heartstrings stir. The cinematography is also stunning.
	The Painted Veil [DVD] [2007] Buy new: £4.08 / Used from: £2.40 A tear jerker that took me by surprise with its sensitive exploration of two people falling in love in the midst of an epidemic.
	Casablanca [1942] [DVD] Buy new: £2.97 / Used from: £2.65 Probably the sexiest love affair to ever grace the silver screen.
	Superbad (2 Disc Extended Edition) [2007] [DVD] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.14 Pure gross-out humour... but damn funny
	Beauty and the Beast [DVD] [1991] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] Buy used from: £17.99 Not called a classic for nothing. A masterful romance for both adults and children
	Hairspray (2007) [DVD] Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £2.24 Impossible to watch without smiling.
	Stardust [DVD] [2007] Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.15 Magic and adventure are abundant in this gem of a film
	The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition Box Set) [DVD] Buy new: £14.98 / Used from: £13.49 Possibly the ultimate escapist film, takes you entirely to a whole other world.
	Legally Blonde [DVD] [2001] Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £0.62 Utterly implausible and relentlessly silly, but it made the idea of being a lawyer much more appealing
