Opinions about the greatest movies ever made will always differ and there are many lists available. This list is our own considered opinion.
We believe DVDs are still an excellent value for the movie enthusiast. Especially when they include a 'special features' section.
Special features give an invaluable insight into how a movie was made. They can include views from the actors, producers, writers and directors. This information is not generally included when streaming a movie.
Although streaming is the most common way to watch movies today, DVDs are a great option to physically own your favourite must-keep films.
