We appreciate the cinematic experience – whether that's tucking into a bag of popcorn in a crowded theatre of like-minded movie fans or dimming the lights in your living room and booting up the Blu-ray player.

And we know we aren’t alone, so we’ve curated the top gifts for film lovers to ensure you get the perfect present for the cinephiles in your life.

We’ve found options at every price point, including tasteful posters that your giftee can use to showcase their favourite flicks, a home projector that beams a 100-inch picture to their wall, and a conversation-starting coffee table book.

Don’t miss our curated buying guides on the best gifts for gamers, gifts for music lovers, photography gifts, and technology gifts too.

This versatile gift card

Amazon eGift Card

eGift Card

If your giftee is a digital collector, a gift card is a great way to let them choose what film to buy next. We think Amazon is a reliable option as it has a huge collection of digital content to choose from, but if you're buying for a dedicated iOS user, they may prefer an Apple card so they can buy it via iTunes.
