iTunes is running a pair of sales this week on a number of popular digital HD movies.

Along with the Disney promotion, iTunes is also offering a number of Oscar-winning movies for under $10, including a nice selection of films with leading ladies. Our top picks from both are below.

After launching a very notable iTunes movie bundle sale on Tuesday, we’ve spotted a handful of new digital film offers this morning. iTunes is now offering new decade bundles that include 10 films for $19.99. There’s upwards of $80 of worth of value here, as many of these individual movies typically sell for $8 each. Of course, each purchase will become a permanent addition to your collection.
Today is one of those rare occasions when iTunes actually has a screaming deal for movie lovers. You can buy the Big Action 10-Film Collection in HD for just $24.99, which is about the same it’d cost you to buy just 2 of the movies individually. It includes a bunch of high-adrenaline titles like The Expendables, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Rambo: First Blood, Kick-Ass, Reservoir Dogs, Gangs of New York and others. This bundle is a terrific way to beef up your movie collection without spending a ton of cash.
