Appears to be quite a few reductions on steelbooks (also spotted the lego movie for £7.99 and Tarzan 3D for around £12). Worth a gander on boxing day.
Shot entirely on location in the wild Amazonian jungle near Machu Picchu Aguirre Wrath of God stars the legendarily volatile Klaus Kinski (Nosferatu the Vampyre) as Don Lope de Aguirre a power-crazed sixteenth-century explorer who leads a troupe of conquistadors on a doomed expedition in search of El Dorado the fabled 'City of Gold'. A visceral ambitious exploration of megalomania and savage beauty Aguirre remains one of Herzog's most brilliant achievements and one of German cinema's totemic masterpieces. This specially designed limited edition Steelbook is released ahead of an extensive Werner Herzog box set from the BFI which will include newly remastered HD presentations of 17 of his greatest feature films and shorts. Special Features: Limited Edition Steelbook Original Mono Audio (German and English) Alternative 5.1 Surround Audio (German) Original Theatrical Trailer Stills Gallery The Unprecedented Defence of the Fortress Deutschkreuz (1967 16 mins): symbolic drama about four young men hiding from an imagined enemy Last Words (1968 13 mins): short film about the last man to leave a former leper colony Precautions Against Fanatics (1969 11 mins): short satire about horse-racing enthusiasts Fata Morgana (1971 77 mins): hallucinatory film exploring mirages and the Mayan creation myth Feature-length audio commentary with Werner Herzog for both Aguirre Wrath of God and Fata Morgana Fully illustrated booklet with a new essay by Laurie Johnston full film credits and on-set photographs

Masterpiece, bargain price.
Also includes another notable Herzog feature, Fata Morgana, as well as three of his 60's era short films - and a booklet!

Dreadful. I always use advice from Rotten Tomatoes who say it's a masterpiece. I lasted an hour before I couldn't take any more

Sorry about that; did you check at the till? Only ask as I also saw Harlock Space Pirate today for the same price (at a different store)

No, I didn't take it to the till, the queue was huge and I couldn't really face waiting for 20 mins only to be told it was priced at the marked price on the ticket. If I get the chance I might head back at some point over the next few days. Looks like your local has some decent bargains though.
One thing I did see was the PS4 Far Cry 4/Far Cry Primal double pack reduced. It was showing as £17.99 on one copy and £20.99 on another??!! Who knows what price they would have charged you. It was sitting just below The Last Guardian priced at £50!!!!
