Holiday Gift Ideas Gift Guide: Movie fanatics
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 5:31 PM
Our film editor Matt Brunson has a great job — he watches movies and writes about them for a living. While I'm slaving away in front of my desk doing that regular 9 to 5, he's watching some great (and some not-so-great) films. He's a true film geek, and if you know of someone who is too, maybe you should get them something from Matt's list of gift ideas below. And may the force be with you. (Or not?)
• Tauntaun Sleeping Bag – Perfect for the Star Wars fan on your list, this sleeping bag is shaped like the creature that terrorized Luke Skywalker at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. And yes, the interior of the item is made to look like the beast’s own innards, as we saw when Han Solo cut open the Tauntaun and stuffed Luke inside. ($99.)
• Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XVI – The latest four-film collection not only includes a Tom Servo figurine (to match the Crow figurine issued earlier this year) but, for the sake of the season, includes among its celluloid turkeys the legendary 1959 Mexican import Santa Claus, in which the jolly fat man battles … Satan! ($64.99.)
• Movie Posters – Give the gift of film art this holiday season. Movieposter.com offers all manner of movie graphics, including posters for all the latest releases. (Their current top five: The Twilight Saga: New Moon; Brothers; Disney’s A Christmas Carol; Armored; 2012.) (Prices vary)
• New Moon Action Figures – Now you can make the hunky boys of the Twilight saga do your bidding! Uh, all seven inches of them (no dirty jokes, please). (Prices vary; available at various Web sites)
• Harry Potter Years 1-6 Giftset – The latest Potter adventure, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has just been released on DVD, but if you know someone who doesn’t own any of the films in the series, how about picking up this cost-conscious collection that includes all six magical movies? ($69.98)
