The 21 best gifts for movie lovers this holiday season

Price: $19.99 Every Christmas movie is someone’s favorite Christmas movie. And maybe for someone you know, it’s , the 1988 retelling of “A Christmas Carol” starring Bill Murray as a modern-day Ebenezer Scrooge. Directed by Richard Donner, it mixes broad comedy and some pretty dark stuff for a holiday cocktail with a kick. In honor of the film’s 35th anniversary, Paramount is putting out a newly remastered version of the film in a box set with over 50 minutes of special features (remember those?), some of which have never been released before. It certainly makes a better gift than a bath towel or even a VHS. [Cindy White]

Price: $24.99The retro look of the crate stamp design on this handy Indiana Jones tote is neat, and Army green goes with everything, so it can take you from the university to the jungle and back. This would make a great gift on its own, but you can also fill it with a collection of smaller items if you really want to wow the recipient. Carry on the theme and throw in some things that would come in handy on an urban adventure, or make it more personalized—it’s up to you. Any way you choose to give it, this tote makes a statement, and that statement is: “I really like Indiana Jones.” [Cindy White]

Price: $36.99Action figures are fun in general, but the amount of accessories that this one comes with is what makes it special. The Feral Predator figure, based on the creature in , comes with a full complement of armor and weapons, plus interchangeable hands and mandibles. Plus, the packaging makes it easy for collectors to display without taking it out of the box. [Jen Lennon]

Price: $89.99Get all five Twilight Saga films in one sleek package with this SteelBook Blu-Ray set. The collection includes behind-the-scenes featurettes, audio commentary from director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and extended and deleted scenes. And, since the visuals have always been a key part of Twilight, you can customize the cover of each case with a set of interchangeable cards. This edition also comes with both standard and 4k Blu-rays, so it should work with a wide range of devices. [Jen Lennon]

Price: $33.00John Wick went out with a bang—and a whole lot of bodies in his wake—earlier this year in . It was a fitting end for the stylish assassin, but if you can’t get enough of Keanu Reeves’ signature deadpan, unflappable coolness, this 4.6-inch figure does a pretty good job of capturing his likeness. The swagger, the weapons, the blood, the slightly disheveled suit—it’s all there in one cute little package. [Jen Lennon]

Price: $60.00If your loved ones can never get Kenough (sorry) of Barbie-related merch, the fuzzy sherpa hoodie worn by Ken at the end of the movie is available directly from Mattel. It comes in unisex sizing, from small to 3X, so you should be able to find the right fit for anyone on your list. Mattel is currently taking pre-orders for shipping on December 15, so it should arrive in plenty of time to open and snuggle into on Christmas morning. [Cindy White]

Price: $134.99Sure, everyone who wants to own a copy of probably already has one, but does their version include a special featurette of James Cameron conducting “tests” to see whether or not Jack could have fit on that door? No, it does not, because that’s a perk you only get with the 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition. And while that might seem like a silly reason to buy another copy, aren’t the holidays supposed to be about putting aside petty differences and coming together in celebration of what we have? This holiday season, give your favorite Titanic fan the gift of finally being able to set aside their difference of opinion with Cameron and let them rest easy in the knowledge that Jack’s death was scientifically accurate. [Jen Lennon]

Price: $31.50Show the Marvel fan in your life that you love them 3,000 by giving them this recently released deep dive into the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from the development of the first Iron Man film to this year’s release of Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania. Written by a trio of authors who are superfans themselves—Dave Gonzales, Gavin Edwards, and Joanna Robinson—it features revealing insights and interviews with actors, directors, writers, and producers and offers a look behind the scenes you won’t find anywhere else. [Cindy White]

Price: $55.00We’re not going to lie to you: this is just a foam replica of E.T. It doesn’t have any fancy accessories, it’s not even a plush toy that’d be nice to squeeze. What it is, though, is a 1-foot-tall replica of the iconic extraterrestrial. That means he’s perfect for perching ominously on top of a bookshelf, hiding behind a bathroom door to surprise unsuspecting guests, or simply standing in the corner of your bedroom, watching you sleep every night. He can bring joy, warmth, or terror, depending on what you do with him—and what else could you really ask for in a holiday gift? [Jen Lennon]

Price: $480.00Okay, yes: this prop is crazy expensive. It’s not for most people on your gift list. But if you have a particularly persnickety film fan in your life, the kind who owns every Blu-ray under the sun and likes to spend their lunch breaks perusing , maybe this 12.5-inch glass replica of David’s bottle from would look nice in one of their collection cases. It’s limited to 750 pieces, so while it’s not an original, it’s still rare. And come on, it looks pretty cool, right? [Jen Lennon]

Price: $29.99Cinephiles will want to pour over all the details in this account of the making of David Lynch’s controversial 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Author Max Evry spent years collecting stories from the production as told by the artists and creatives who where there, including Lynch and members of the cast. For aspiring filmmakers and casual fans alike, it’s a fascinating look at the chaos that often goes hand in hand with creative genius. The limited first edition comes with red-foil gilded pages and a black satin ribbon bookmark. A fancy addition to any home library or coffee table. [Cindy White]

 Price: $89.99The horror buff in your life will appreciate this 12-inch-tall action figure of Billy the Puppet from the franchise. He’s got his cute little tricycle, some sparkly red shoes, and when you press a button, you can hear his signature sinister laugh. Just think of all the joy he could bring, sitting on top of your fireplace mantle quietly judging your every move. He’d certainly motivate you to be on your best behavior; he’s like an Elf on the Shelf, except somehow even more sinister. [Jen Lennon]

Price: $189.95Neon-yellow roller blades probably weren’t very high on anyone’s list last year, but that was before Barbie came out and made them cool again. After all, Ken literally goes nowhere without them. These babies are so bright you might need to add in a pair of shades just to look at them. And while you’re at it, might as well toss in and a to complete the look. In case you don’t want to go with “Barbie bright yellow” you can choose from seven other colorways, including solid black, “sahara” (white, pale orange, and tan), “fairy floss” (pastels), and “monochrome marble.” The yellow ones are the only style that has the Barbie branding, though. [Cindy White]

Price: $195We’re willing to bet there’s a decent amount of overlap in the Venn diagram of “Lord Of The Rings fans” and “mechanical keyboard enthusiasts,” and if you’ve got a special someone in your life who falls firmly in that middle section, this is the perfect holiday gift. This particular set comes with a custom LOTR-themed keyboard, but you can buy if your favorite nerd already has a board just waiting for some sweet new caps. And if you’re not fluent in Sindarin, don’t worry: this set has Latin sublegends to help you out. [Jen Lennon]

Price: $16.99No more scrolling listlessly through the same Netflix offerings while your partner apathetically flicks through all the Postmates restaurants you’ve ordered from a dozen times already. These cute little dice make it easier to plan a date night. One die chooses the cuisine, the other chooses the movie genre. The food die comes with American, Barbecue, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, and Seafood choices, while the movie die can land on Thriller, Romance, Comedy, Horror, Action, or Drama. If you’re really looking to up your game, try matching the movie to both the genre and the food. Land on seafood and thriller? Enjoy some takoyaki for an unforgettable viewing of . [Jen Lennon]

Price: $49Give the gift of beauty with this dramatic eye makeup set inspired by Sofia Coppola’s film Priscilla and the real-life style icon herself. It comes with eyeliner, mascara, and a reusable guide so anyone can recreate that famous winged eye look. Designed by Donni Davy, the award-winning makeup artist best known for her work on HBO’s Euphoria, for her Half Magic line, these products are all vegan and cruelty-free. We know Elvis would approve; he did sing “Don’t Be Cruel,” after all. [Cindy White]

Price: $15.99 eachEven monsters like to enjoy a nice film every once in a while. These cute little blind-box action figures feature nine classic Universal monsters, including Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy, at the movies. Packed with thoughtful details like the Creature from the Black Lagoon enjoying some nice sardines and Dracula with a glass of … wine … these 2.36-inch figures make for perfect stocking stuffers. There’s also an ultra-limited Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which you have a 1/108 probability of snagging in each box. [Jen Lennon]

Price: $24.99If the internet has taught us anything, it’s that animals wearing costumes might just be the cutest thing ever. And we think that goodwill should be extended to animals of all types, including rubber ones, like this little duck living his best life in a custom-fit RoboCop costume. And don’t get it twisted: the suit doesn’t come off. This duck is RoboCop. Tubbz ducks are usually too top-heavy to effectively float in water, but we can attest that they still look great staring menacingly at you from the side of the bathtub. [Jen Lennon]

Price: $35Commemorate the film that sent a whole generation of children to therapy with this soft vinyl toy. After the Iron Giant is destroyed protecting a town from a nuclear missile, the only thing that remains of him is one single, solitary bolt. It’s heartbreaking, and a truly terrible thing to remember, even if the ending is a little more hopeful about his chances of survival. But if you know anyone who really needs to be taken down a peg this year, toss this little gem in their stocking. It’ll put a damper on any holiday celebration. Or maybe they’ll just be confused. Either way, you win. [Jen Lennon]

 Price: $45For those who dream of summer all year round, the cool kids at A24 have you covered with this beach towel that mimics a digital camera frame, complete with the anamorphic 2.39:1 aspect ratio printed along the border. Known within the industry as the ratio of choice for shooting cinematic landscapes, it’s also the perfect size for spreading out and enjoying the landscape with your own two eyes. Besides the classic grey, it comes in pink, blue, and red for a lively pop of color. [Cindy White]
