Whatever you choose for the movie lover in your life, be sure to choose the gift based on the recipient’s loves and interests, not your own! Choose themes and gifts based on what you already know about the person, or get someone to do some Sam Spade-ing or James Bond-ing for you to find out all the [L.A.] confidential facts about the person you’re buying for. If you have a general idea of some gifts he or she would like or genres that make their heart skip a beat, round up the usual suspects and choose from among them; you’ll be sure to find the perfect gift somewhere in there! Here is The Mayor’s and The District Attorney’s compilation of The Best Gifts For The Movie Lover.
Movie Passes – Duh! They love movies, and surely nothing more than going to the movie house for a full screen explosion in the pants. Sure they have to deal with people feeding at the troth or talking to so and so on their mobile during the movie; but in their hearts they know what really matters is that they didn’t pay for it, you did. Get them in pairs, you never know – your film lover could get a date someday. Ladies?
Gift Certificates – Choice. It’s what makes or break a life, why would you want to kill your movie lover with another Deer Sweater? Get them a certificate to a mall or audio/video store that sells all sorts of goodies. They will love you for it, no one wants to end up with a DVD they already have, and Hollywood double dips enough, ZING!
Blank DVDs / DVD Burning Software – Be it for their computer or software to allow them to record their favorite television movies or VHS films to DVD, some DVD burning software is a must for the true movie lover. Good burning software can cost anywhere from $50 on up, sometimes even less. Let them watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia any way they can. It’s what Jesus would want.
Movie Posters/Other Accessories – If your favorite movie viewer has a personal room in which they bunker down to watch films all the time, consider helping them deck out their personal quarters by providing them with all the posters, collectibles, and other movie-related accessories you can think of. Be creative; gifts like these can range from a framed T-shirt, a life-sized cardboard cutout of a favorite movie actor or character, or even a personalized director’s chair! Imagine that douche look on their face every time they sit on that thing.
A Movie Magazine Subscription – If your movie lover loves being kept up to date for all the latest and upcoming films (and they can’t get on CoF for some reason), consider going in on a subscription to an entertainment magazine. Check out some of these film-focused magazines (link). Several of these magazines have the advantage of having online offerings as well; but nothing proves more charming for the movie-fan than receiving the latest in movie news right at their own front door. Subscriptions to these magazines can cost anywhere from around $12 and up a year and include anywhere from 10-12 issues, typically.
