We've all got a movie fanatic in our lives. Maybe they can quote every Martin Scorsese film by heart or just like to cuddle up on the couch to binge the best rom-coms or Hallmark movies out there. But if you're not a diehard cinephile, it can be challenging to find unique gift ideas a film buff would genuinely appreciate. Let's face it: They likely already own every boxset collection and have all the streaming services. Don't stress, though. To help you out, we've rounded up the best gifts for movie lovers, including recommendations from our gift experts.

Trust us, these movie-themed gifts are the reel deal. They're thoughtful, creative and sure to be treasured for years to come, even over their vintage DVD and VHS collection! Whether it's a snack bowl that can be placed right on top of their go-to tumbler or a set of UNO cards (with a Barbie-themed twist), we've got presents any cinephile will love.

The best part? Most gift ideas on this list are $50 or less, so you can find something great even if you're not shopping for an occasion where a more expensive gift might be appropriate. You can even bundle a few presents together if you want to really wow them this year.
