There are several dozen excellent movies that are eligible for the discount at Gruv, but we’ve hand-picked a few of our favorites for you to check out below.

HBO’s adaptation of The Last Of Us manages to remain loyal to the source material while still finding room to inject its own original story beats into Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic narrative.
$25
You can tell a lot about someone by asking which of the Edgar Wright Cornetto trilogy films is their favorite (it’s Shaun of the Dead for me). This six-disc collection includes 4K versions of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End, in addition to their respective bonus features.
Beetlejuice
