I've just got myself a new kindle fire, mostly for box set's and movies though I will be using spotify too. Looking for some over ear closed back headphones, from Amazon would help and sub £50. Should I be looking for something specifically for films?

£50 will get you some AKG Y50s. They are on ear not over ear so there is [i]some[/i] sound leakage... I've got the Bluetooth version and I'm impressed.
They get pretty good reviews:

For home use I have some over ear Sennheisers. They don't leak sound at all.. The nearest equivalent now would be the sennheiser HD 429S, they're within budget too....

Audio-Technica M20Xs. The Y50s maybe ok for films but they're garbage for music.

I have a pair of AKG K450's and they are very good.
On ear but little sound leakage and very comfortable. They fold up and have a single replaceable cable so you don't trash the headphones when the cable dies.

Highly recommended and bang on budget - I use them rather than over ear ones these days
