Fifty Shades Darker, starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota, arrives onto DVD and Bu-Ray from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Based on the bestselling novels by author E. L. James, Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele return in the must-have Unrated Edition.

After they previous breakup, a broken-hearted Christian Grey (Dornan) tries to win back Anastasia Steele (Johnson) into his life. Before giving him a second chance, Anastasia demands a new arrangement. As the two try to find trust and stability in their relationship, shadowy figures from Christian’s past begin to resurface.

Here are 5 reasons you should get 50 Shades Darker on DVD and Blu-Ray.

5. Might As Well See The Sequel!

So let’s be honest here. How many of you saw the Fifty Shades sequel by yourself? And how many of you saw it with your significant other, who has also read the books? Well, that answers why you should get the second installment, as a birthday or valentines gift.

4. You Can’t Say No To Kim Basinger!

Ever since the L.A. Confidential actress took home her Oscar, she has picked out roles here and then. Always a welcome sight to see, the 8 Mile actress oozes seduction and feistiness as Elena Lincoln,. Not only is she Grey’s business partner, she also happens to be former lover. I just love her scenes as Lincoln holds her own against Anastasia.

3. Eric Johnson’s In it!

Smallville fans will recognize Johnson as the rival interest, high school football star Whitney Fordman. Then the Supernatural actor became a leading man of his own show, Flash Gordon. Johnson steals the spotlight as Christian’s rival, Jack Hyde, and amps up his charisma as Ana’s boss. It’s great knowing we’ll be seeing more of Hyde in the upcoming sequel, Fifty Shades Free.

1. You Gotta Love Dakota Johnson!

The Suspiria starlet isn’t holding back as she tries to make a name for herself. The daughter of Don Johnson (Miami Vice) and Melanie Griffith (Working Girl) proves once again she is a fearless actress. Johnson alludes sexiness in her steamy scenes and  toughness in her dramatic moments.
