1"LOVE ACTUALLY"

Delightful holiday romp set in England with Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Laura Linney, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy. "10th Anniversary Edition" boasts Blu-ray, DVD, digital copy and UltraViolet variants, plus a heart ornament . A $9.99 giveaway from Amazon.

2"IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE"

No worries. The heartiest of holiday films (and most controversial of colorized projects), Frank Capra's 1946 gem is yours in black and white or color on this Blu-ray double feature. ($19-$39.)

3"DESPICABLE ME 2"

That rare sequel better regarded than the original, with Steve Carell voicing once super bad, now super dad Gru. About $20 in Blu-ray/DVD/digital HD/UltraViolet.

4ROLLING STONES

"Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live" has circa 2013 "lads" letting loose outdoors, still in fine musical form and essentially doing the same show it cost hundreds per ticket to see here. ($12-$20 in Blu-ray or DVD.)

5BEATLES

"The Beatles On Air-Live at the BBC, Volume One and Two" takes us back to the Fab Four's hardworking, irrepressible youth with a double CD disc set that's been remastered and refined with better source tapes, and a second CD, previously released. Lotsa covers that'll be new to you. (Less than $20 each.)
