Perhaps even better, purchase them a movie that they already have (afterall since they’re cinephiles, and they’ve seen a great many movies already, making them more likely to purchase items they already have). This is why I would advise against this option unless the film buff in your life has been actively promoting some particular movie recently. If so you should go for it. Movies are definitely a good option for movie lovers. However, be cautious when you purchase a gift. Keep a copy of the receipt, and don’t get annoyed if someone requires you to return your present.
If you’re looking to upgrade however don’t want to be burdened by making sure that you don’t buy the wrong one, Netflix is your answer. Netflix lets the cinephile in your life access to a variety of films from old to the brand new, international to domestic, indie to blockbuster and more. The good thing about this is that they can pick the films they want to see, while you make a payment for your subscription. Netflix Gifts are available in a range of plans, and in various lengths.
You can buy your film fan only the streaming package, or choose an option that lets you stream as well as up to 3, 2, or 3 DVDs available at the same time. All of these packages are available in lengths ranging from one month to one year. For example streaming packages that lasts for 6 months costs approximately $48. You can also opt for two DVDs released at the same time for a year for around $180. Whatever you decide to do is, it’s bound to please the movie lover you have in your family.

There are a lot of books available for this kind of people. For example, 1001 Movies You must Watch before You die to 1,000 Films that Will Change Your Life to 100 Most Popular Movies to Rent That You’ve Never Before heard of, to even more specific ones such as 101 Horror Movies You Must see before You Die.

So, magazine subscriptions catering to these kinds of customers are also a good option. This includes both online and print kinds. However, I’ll say that you should look beyond the mainstream ones such as Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stones and others. Instead, consider items like “Boxoffice Magazine”, “Hollywood Reporter”, “Premiere’and “Empire” (UK) MovieMaker or Filmmaker Magazine.

If the film lover you know doesn’t have the shelves to display your collection, or is having a hard time finding shelf room, then getting a brand new rack, shelf, or shelf is a sensible and a great present to your film buff in helping manage that growing collection and bring organization to it.
