The best gifts to buy for movie lovers
We appreciate the cinematic experience – whether that's tucking into a bag of popcorn in a crowded theatre of like-minded movie fans or dimming the lights in your living room and booting up the Blu-ray player.
And we know we aren’t alone, so we’ve curated the top gifts for film lovers to ensure you get the perfect present for the cinephiles in your life.
We’ve found options at every price point, including tasteful posters that your giftee can use to showcase their favourite flicks, a home projector that beams a 100-inch picture to their wall, and a conversation-starting coffee table book.
Don’t miss our curated buying guides on the best gifts for gamers, gifts for music lovers, photography gifts, and technology gifts too.
The Popcorn – Luxury Socks For Film Lovers
£12.00 at notonthehighstreet.com
Nebula Mars 3 Air
With a sharp 1080P resolution, built-in Netflix, solid brightness in dark conditions and a small form factor that’s easy to move from room to room, this neat little portable projector is ideal for a family film night, whether you’re watching the Super Mario Bros movie or Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny on Disney+. All you need is the popcorn.
Die Hard minimalist poster
This minimalist Die Hard movie poster (based on one of the pivotal action scenes) looks striking and comes in a wide variety of sizes. The A2 option (£35) is a good size to go for if you’re unsure.
Sony 4K Ray Player
Sure, streaming is convenient, but physical media is far from gone. Blu-rays have superior picture quality for 4K films and are ideal for anyone with a home theatre setup, plus there’s the added bonus of never having to worry about the film disappearing from a streaming service without warning.
Marvel Cinematic Universe An Official Timeline
The Marvel cinematic universe was properly kicked off by Iron Man back in 2008, and in the years since there’s been an overwhelming volume of films and TV shows. This hardcover book is ideal for anyone struggling to keep up – giving the reader a detailed timeline of the entire series so far.
Google Chromecast 4K
For easy access to all of the best streaming services – Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video, YouTube and more – plus hands-free control and the ability to cast content from a phone, this is one of our top streaming devices. We prefer the 4K model, but it comes in a more affordable HD version, too.
Blade Runner Whisky Glasses
This set of iconic whisky glasses featured in the 1982 Blade Runner, with Harrison Ford’s character Deckard seen sipping from. There are two glasses in the box, and anyone who is a fan of the series will instantly recognise their angular design.
Personalised Enamel Popcorn Bowl
£22.00 at notonthehighstreet.com
Amazon eGift Card
If your giftee is a digital collector, a gift card is a great way to let them choose what film to buy next. We think Amazon is a reliable option as it has a huge collection of digital content to choose from, but if you're buying for a dedicated iOS user, they may prefer an Apple card so they can buy it via iTunes.
Movie night dice
Not sure what to watch? We know what it's like. Let a roll of the dice decide. For £7.99, there are six dice options to choose from – each has its own selection of film genres – or you can customise a dice for £16.99.
Oppenheimer 4K Blu-ray
We're sure you'd agree Christopher Nolan’s latest Oscar-winning cinematic epic deserves to be watched in the best possible quality.
Cineworld gift card
What’s a better gift for a film fan than the actual cinematic experience? Cineworld lets you add money (£10 to £100) on a card that will be sent via email or the post, with a free £5 card if you spend £30. If you choose to send the card in the post, there’s an option to have it arrive in a gift box, too.
Bose Smart Soundbar 600
With so much streaming content available these days, it’s no surprise that many of us are watching films from the comfort of our own homes. This Bose soundbar is one of our favourite ways to easily enhance the audio performance of basic TV speakers for film nights. You’ll be immersed in the storyline thanks to its directional speakers, and it has built-in Amazon Alexa and Bluetooth connectivity, too.
Amazon Fire TV 40-inch
This 40-inch Amazon TV is a good gift for a student or someone who has just moved into a new flat – the 1080p resolution is ideal for the size, it can be wall-mounted and it’s got all of the major streamers right on the main home screen, so there’s no need to invest in a separate streaming stick.
Lego Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Set
A gift for any Star Wars fans aged nine and up, this 474-piece Lego set lets you build Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing fighter, with adjustable wings and a space for the R2D2 droid. Bundled with characters including Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, this is just as great for a glass display shelf as a toy box.
