Ten DVDs that I bought that I’m going to watch again soon. I’ve watched most of these before, but a DVD these days is so inexpensive, you might as well buy a few – most nights the television is rubbish, for all its nine hundred odd channels.

• Raging Bull (so good I bought it twice for £3 each time)
• Life is Beautiful
• We Were Soldiers
• The Mission
• Local Hero
• Zidane – A 21st Century Portrait
• The Big Lebowski
• Seamus Heaney: Out of the Marvellous
• Syriana
• The Killing Fields
• When We Were Kings
• Friday Night Lights
• Any Given Sunday
