More holiday gift ideas for made-in-Boston film fans

Still on the hunt for a perfect gift for that made-in-Boston movie fan? Don't fret.

With more than a dozen big-budget flicks shot in Massachusetts in 2009 ranging from Kevin James' romantic comedy "Zookeeper" to Ben Affleck's heist flick "The Town," inspiration is literally around the corner.

Here are a few additional holiday gift ideas--roused by films recently shot in town and others already released in theaters--pulled from the influx of made-in-Boston movie action:

'The Lightkeepers' screening
The Cape Cod-shot flick "The Lightkeepers," starring Richard Dreyfuss and Blythe Danner, will have an exclusive two-week run beginning Christmas Day at the Cape Cinema located at 35 Hope Lane in Dennis. The story centers on a lighthouse keeper in 1912 who, having disavowed any association with females, must deal with the appearance of two attractive women who move into a nearby cottage for the summer.

Also, Dreyfuss is slotted to unveil his new flick in person at 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 27. The actor will give a brief talk on the Dreyfuss Initiative, a nonprofit corporation formed to revive, elevate and enhance the teaching of civics in the U.S. His talk will be followed by a Q&A. This will be Dreyfuss's only public appearance at the cinema. Tickets are $20. Click here for details.

Boston Gliders
Who knew that the goofball antics of a misfit security guard in and his cast of mall-rat pals would segue … or is it Segway … its way into slacker infamy? Tap into the "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" within by gifting one of those Boston Gliders Segway Adventures here.

Boston Movie Tours
Speaking of film-inspired tours, the crew over at Boston Movie Tours are offering gift certificates for their Theater-On-Wheels bus tours returning to the streets of Boston in April here.

However, below are a few locally shot movies available on DVD for the die-hard movie buff:

'The Child King'

'What Doesn't Kill You'
This hidden gem had a brief theatrical run in NYC and Los Angeles and a premiere at the Boston International Film Festival. The real-life crime drama "What Doesn't Kill You," originally titled "Real Men Cry," is set in Boston and stars Ethan Hawke and Mark Ruffalo as childhood friends "who grew up in an Irish-Catholic neighborhood where small-time crimes were as common as confessionals." Fast forward 15 years where the duo is trapped in a cycle of scoring quick cash, drug addiction and an ever-changing South Boston landscape. Click here to purchase.
