From Harry Potter to Horrible Bosses, some of the year's biggest films will be released on DVD, Blu-Ray and 3D in the run up to Christmas, giving movie-lovers plenty to be merry about.
Here's our run-down of the best upcoming releases for this festive season... .
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2
The spell-binding saga reaches its climax with the second part of its final instalment. Will boy wizard Harry and his friends be able to stop the ghoulish Lord Voldemort and his evil entourage?
There's only one way to find out and that's to pick it up on DVD or Blu-Ray from December 2.
The Inbetweeners Movie
What happens when you take four amorous, clueless school leavers for a lads' holiday in sun-soaked Malia? The results have to be seen to be believed, but you can expect nudity, booze-fuelled antics and cringe-inducing attempts at 'romance'.
This is definitely not one for kids and you'll be able to buy it on DVD and Blu-Ray from December 12.
Captain America: The First Avenger
See all-American hero Steve Rogers' transformation into superhero Captain America as he takes on the evil Red Skull and his nefarious Nazi henchmen.
Expect high-octane, explosive action and the 'star-spangled man with a plan' saving the day on DVD, Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray from December 5.
The Hangover part II
If you know anything about the first Hangover film then you'll know to expect Stu, Alan and Phil to end up in an absolute mess after a heavy night on the drink. This time, however, the boys are in Thailand and suffer their worst hangover to date.
With thieving monkeys, mobsters and facial tattoos involved, you're in for a laugh when the Hangover part II is released on DVD and Blu-Ray on December 5.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
See how Charlton Heston eventually comes to be held captive by those 'damn dirty apes' in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, from December 12.
James Franco stars in this visually-stunning prequel to The Planet of the Apes, telling us the tale of how earth came to be ruled by a race of super-intelligent apes. The film will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray.
