If you're looking for the next film to take centre stage in your upcoming movie night, then you will find plenty of contenders on the plethora of streaming platforms at your fingertips.
There are times when you are craving something in particular, but it is nowhere to be found. That's why physical media is still so important. You can be safe in the knowledge that your favourite movies are tucked away on the shelf.
And if you are looking to jump into the world of Middle-earth with your next film night, then we have spotted the perfect Amazon Prime Day deal. You can pick up the complete The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 4K Blu-ray, including both the theatrical and extended releases, for a discounted price of £60 at Amazon.
That's the cheapest we have seen the trilogy this year, although it's not the lowest price we have seen it drop to since its release. You also have to be an Amazon Prime Video member to snag this deal, so remember to bear this in mind.
If one of the most successful and influential trilogies of the last 30 years has somehow passed you by, let us fill you in.
The first instalment in the series (The Fellowship of the Ring) sees our meek protagonist Frodo's begin his perilous journey to make sure the powerful One Ring does not fall into the wrong hands. In the rest of the trilogy, we follow Frodo and his band of companions as he puts everything on the line to complete his quest.
The theatrical release runs for just under 9 hours, and the extended version comes in at over 11 hours. That's a lot of time to spend with our friends from the Shire.
I've watched the movies countless times, with both versions delivering a masterclass in world-building and drawing me into the magical land of Middle-earth.
You can find the standard versions of the films on HBO Max, but there's no sign of the extended releases on the streaming service. There is the option to buy or rent from other platforms such as Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV, but that does not have the same certainty as holding the discs in your hands.
And then there is the superior picture and sound quality to consider. Even the best streaming service cannot match a 4K Blu-ray's more detailed, sharper image and fuller-feeling audio.
So, if you are sick of searching for the full Lord of the Rings editions on streaming services, then this is a great solution, especially at such a good price of £60 at Amazon.
