Watching movies can be so much fun. For some people, this is their passion. They watch all the movies they can get their hands on and then watch them over and over. Each night is a night into the realm of fantasy. If you have a movie lover in your life and you need to buy Christmas gifts, check out the possibilities that could brighten their eyes.
Sit Back and Watch
Watching movies can be fun and exciting. A movie lover can watch them any day of the week and over and over. There are so many to choose from.
New Releases:
New movies are released on DVD each day. Check out what has just come out and see types interest your movie lover. The new releases are the hottest ones out there and are much in demand. These might be higher priced and even hard to come by if the movie was the blockbuster of the year. Buying in advance can be a good idea if the movie looks to be selling out fast.
Classics:
Got a movie lover that loves the classics? I mean movies like Citizen Kane, Ben Hur, An Affair to Remember. These are the movies that last through the years and are loved by many. You do not always find these at the local video stores. Give a gift that the movie lover will cherish when they see their favorite that they can watch over and over.
Romance:
Do they love romance and the tear jerker movies? Check out the long line that await viewing. These are ones that are good for the night when a good cry is needed.
Action/Fantasy:
Do not bypass the action filled movies. Check out the Star Trek movies including the older ones. Check out the Transformers and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. There are more action packed movies than you can possibly count.
Give the gift of a movie and sit back and enjoy the view.
Don't Forget the Popcorn
You cannot watch a movie without popcorn. It is the essential movie food. Give the gift of wonderful popcorn.
You can find such a variety these days of the wonderful snack. Not only do you get the ones that drip with butter and make a wonderful mess. You can get cheesy popcorn, caramel corn, and garlic flavored. Buy it prepopped or ready for the popper.
If you do not know what your movie lover likes, buy a gormet package of various kinds. Buy the plain kind and create your own basket. You can add butter, Parmesan cheese (this is really good to eat), seasoning salt, and a big package of napkins.
Though many now use their microwaves to pop the corn, many others still preferred the taste of air popped or stove popped corn. There are several varieties of poppers out there for the popcorn lover.
Popcorn and movies are the perfect duo. Give a gift of entertainment and flavor.
A Bowl Full of Delight
You have the movie. You have the wonderful popcorn to munch on. Now what else can you get your movie lover that they will enjoy? The perfect popcorn bowl. It cannot be just any bowl from the kitchen. You need to have the ultimate in bowls.
It has to be large enough for at least two hours of movie watching. It needs to be strong to hold all the butter that is poured over it. It needs to have character.
Check ou the various styles of popcorn bowls that you can give your movie lover. In fact use the bowls as the base of a movie gift basket. You cannot go wrong with gifts like these.
More to Movies than Movies
Ok, your movie lover has every movie under the sun. Giving a movie as a gift could be the worst thing to do. They might even have all the types of popcorn available and the best bowls in the world. So what do you do now? Check into books about movies.
There are so many books on movies. There are guides for movies. There are companion guides to movies. There are books to go over the lives of each actor and the behind the scenes info.
If the person you are buying for is really big into movies, this could be a great gift for them. They will lean so much about the movies they love, the actors and actresses, and all the gossip they can get their hands on.
No DVD???????!!!!!!
You cannot watch a movie without the right technology. See if your movie lover's DVD is on the outs or if there is a new and improved one on the market that they will love.
The gift of a DVD is a great gift and does not have to cost a fortune. Pick out their favorite movie and gift wrap it with a DVD player. They will love it.
This gift could also be the beginnings of the hobby of creating a home theater. Who knows what you will start in their lives with such gifts.

Thanks RGraf. You did a great job here. I guess my Hubs are too political to dredge up enough advertising receipts to make it here on Hub pages. Thank goodness for some little retirement that I get. I'll have to start patterning my hubs more on ads than content, I think. Thanks, Don White

Attractive hub. I'm a movie lover, myself, and I like all the suggestions: maybe the popcorn bowls the best. I just watched "Bad Santa" again last night, with ole' Billy Bob Thornton, and laaaauuuuughhhhed and laughed! For some reason certain movies don't get old.
Tonight I'll watch "The Polar Express". Talk about a heart-warming Christmas story! And one that's fit for kids.
