Christmas Gift Guide: Top 10 DVDs and Blu-Rays
A DVD makes a perfect gift. Everyone knows that. Although obviously it helps when the DVD is good – a copy of collected My Little Pony episodes might not go down all too well with a 20-year-old Call of Duty fan.
So to help you pick the best car-themed DVD or Blu-Ray for your motor mad family member we’ve written a top 10. We’ve concentrated on newer movies – we’re assuming the classics like Bullitt are already in your collection on Betamax or Laserdisc.
Rush (15) - £5.00
Following the rivalry between 70s F1 stars James Hunt and Niki Lauda, this film often strays from the truth but is nonetheless spectacular, moving and beautiful. It’s also graphic and sometimes difficult to watch, but it captures the dangerous thrill of racing better than (probably) anything else committed to celluloid.
The racing sequences are visceral and the acting is excellent. Chris Hemsworth captures the Hunt’s playboy personality brilliantly, while Bruhl plays the calculating and meticulous Lauda just as well. It’s a must for any motorsports fan, but it’s also a great film full stop.
