For the movie lover or film fan in your life there are lots of good gifts you can get them, but what exactly would they love and appreciate getting? Most likely they have the DVDs of their favorite films. What about original movie posters or memorabilia like props or costumes or other items from a movie set?
Due to heightened security around celebrities, getting autographs from film stars is more challenging than ever. There are places to get authenticated autographs. Your local bookstores may have books on Hollywood, the film industry and biographies on their favorite actors. Here is a holiday gift guide with plenty of ideas to get the movie lover you know.
Movie Posters
This is a favorite collector’s item among movie aficionados, especially the rare and original movie posters from bygone eras. Your best bet is to try Movie Posters Warehouse online. They list the Top Selling Posters such as “Star Wars”, “Casablanca”, “Jaws” and “The Godfather.” You’ll find them listed by decade, genre and theme.
Movie Memorabilia
Besides checking out eBay you can go online to Premiere Props. They are the world’s largest entertainment memorabilia store located in El Segundo, California. With each purchase you will receive a signed and embossed seal Certificate of Authenticity. Premiere Props works directly with major film studios and productions companies. This is the way to go to get that special gift for a movie lover.
Celebrity Autographs
These can be tricky, because you don’t know the mood of a celebrity if you approach them in person, especially when they’re not working. The safest and most convenient way is through the Autograph Store. They have in-store autograph collectors who attend celebrity events in L.A., New York, South Beach and other industry hot spots. Of course, these are also certified with a tamper-proof hologram seal within each autograph.
Film Books
Your local Barnes & Noble bookstore may have some of these film books on hand. Robert Osborne is the quintessential writer on the history of Hollywood, the Academy Awards, Studio System Era and much more. You can also find movie star biographies and the makings of great epic films.
