Thought I'd share with you all. I have done this for FIL this year. I have yet to get the basket but it contains:
Several old Ealing Comedy DVDs (all around £3.50 - £4.50 on Amazon)
Packet of popcorn
Movie Clapperboard (few quid off ebay)
Book about old cinemas (£3.50 off Amazon)
I'm going to tie it all up in a basket in cellophane and tie with an old roll of camera film I have stuck in the drawer instead of a bow!
Halliwells Movie guide is fantastic too, we got him that last year and it is his bible!

Ooh I just thought I could do a female version for MIL. Singing in the Rain, Gone with the Wind (whatever is cheap!) with some chocolates, snuggly socks and tissues (for the weepies!) :j0
