These Are the Ultimate Holiday Gifts for the Movie Lover in Your Life
Are you struggling with what to buy for that movie lover in your life this holiday season? Look no further—for ELLE Decor’s annual guide to the season’s best gifts, we created six vignettes that drew their inspiration from our favorite movie sets of the year, including Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood, Hustlers, Little Women, The Irishman, and more. Read on to see our picks for the home and fashion accessories that will make your loved ones want to head straight to the theater—or to the nearest sofa for a binge-watching marathon.
ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD
The cast of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood is as high-wattage as they come, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie in starring roles. But we’d rather talk about the set design—join us on a wild ride back in time to 1969 Los Angeles as you peruse the gift ideas below.
HUSTLERS
Featuring Champagne-room heists and Bergdorf Goodman shopping sprees (compliments of unconscious investment bankers), Lorene Scafaria’s Hustlers, starring Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu, certainly has it all. The overabundance of luxury in New York City before the 2008 crash was a natural for our gift guide—you’re sure to find the perfect present for that high roller in your life.
LITTLE WOMEN
Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, the latest adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic coming-of-age tale—this one is star-studded, featuring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Laura Dern, and Meryl Streep—will be in theaters this Christmas, and we can’t wait to lose ourselves in the lush, pastoral sets depicting the March family’s quiet country life. Until then, this picnic in the park will do quite nicely.
JUDY
Renée Zellweger’s dazzling portrayal of Judy Garland headlines Rupert Goold’s Judy, which gives viewers a glimpse into both the glamour and the private heartbreak of an unraveling Hollywood icon. Here, Garland’s lonely hotel suite provides the tableau for gifts to help you spend your own decadent day in bed.
THE IRISHMAN
The Irishman marks the acclaimed, long-awaited reunion of director Martin Scorsese with stars Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci; this time they’re joined by Al Pacino, who plays Jimmy Hoffa. Its dimly lit scenes of the postwar mafia underworld are filled with foulmouthed, murderous mobsters and corrupt politicians, but that doesn’t mean you can’t draw some aboveboard gifting inspiration for this holiday season.
THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD
Dev Patel stars as the title character in this ode to Charles Dickens’s Victorian-era England, directed by Armando Iannucci, as we follow along with a series of adventures in the young man’s quest to become a writer. The Personal History of David Copperfield is now slated to be released in May 2020, but this deep dive into Victoriana was just too good for us to pass up here. Can you blame us?
