Definitely the best movie rental store Ive ever used. And Im old school, so Ive used plenty and I used to work at one. Insane inventory that covers basically some of whatever you may be interested in. And whats special and useful about this store is that they have very unusual, and hard to find material that you simply will not be able to find/rent anywhere else in the city; nor find on Netflix for that matter. But theyve got new releases and the regular Hollywood fare too (cuz why not?). And their prices are reasonable. I know it may sound like Im the owner putting up a fake review, but Im not. Im a movie freak that appreciates this store and wants other people like myself to know about this place so that 1) They can enjoy it, and 2) Help keep this place active so that I can keep enjoying it. Peace...

First this is first rate by ANY decade standards, including the height of movie rental stores. In this time, all the more a tribute to its excellence. Best owners, workers, feel, selections including rare Asian horror, great directors, and always a helpful staff. Plus super great rates! Cool shirts. The place is also really well organized. Unlike getting overload on Netflix cues, this invites a fun engagement with material. Everything about this place is fun and great.

They have the absolute LARGEST selection of movies. Dont have a VCR? No problem! They have them to rent along with other devices. They sell movies, books and vinyl. The rates are better than Redbox and you get to speak with people. The people that work there are friendly and know a lot about movies. Their foreign movie collection cant be beat! If you are a movie snob or not this is the place! I cant say enough great things about this place. Just go!!

I went here sometime in 2012 or something. What selection of films. I bought The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh, Demons III: The Ogre, Children shouldnt play with dead things and Black Demons. I mean, come on, name one other store that carries a selection like that? Would go more often, but I live in Sweden...

Ive been looking for a relic like this since I moved to the city, but apparently not very hard. Great giant collection of odd and esoteric movies as well as more well known titles. Friendly staff and infinitely affordable. They probably have that movie you cant find streaming anywhere.

This place is incredible and has the largest selection of films that I ha e ever seen. Renting for here is so much more satisfying that watching on Netflix. I try and go here every week and pick up 2 or 3 films. Been doing this for over a year now and I have yet to be disappointed.

Rude person at the front desk 9/24 evening. I went in to ask if they had vinyls as well and got an impertinent response "Look around? Do you see any Vinyls here?". Suffice to say I wont be going there. Ever.

A video store to find film you cant get on cable, Netflix, or any other store. If youre into film check it out. Only three more reviews until I get my free Google mug!

This is the place to go to find the most obscure and weird cinema! Be prepared to spend some time browsing their full stocked shelves.
