Greatest Video Stores

[LostEraser]

I'm sure there was a topic like this here sometime but I couldn't find one in the search engine. Now I know most people just do Netflix nowadays but I was wondering what the best video stores are everyone here has been to. I live in LA so the best ones I've found here are:

Rocket Video in Hollywood
Vidiots in Santa Monica
Cinephile in West LA
Eddie Brants in Studio City

I used to live in the Bay Area and my favorites ones there are:

Le Video in San Fransisco
Leather Tounge Video in San Fransisco
Reel Video in Berkely

Another good one is Scarecrow Video in Seattle. That's probably my favorite one of all time actually. I go there whenever I visit.  

Anyways, let me know what all your guys's favorite Video Stores in the world are (or just redirect me to the real thread if there's one already out there that I missed).

Four Star Video in Madison. Easily the best one in the city and, I would bet, the state.

Thanks Lost Eraser. I live in Ventura, CA and every once and a while I go to LA to Ameoba's. I've been looking for some other stores in LA to go to so, yeah thanks again.

what is the point of this? very few ppl live in the same area.

why not a "best local shoe repair" thread, it would be just as valid/pointless.

Four Star Video in Madison. Easily the best one in the city and, I would bet, the state.

agreed.  Roger Ebert gave it Four Stars.

May my favorite one rest in peace.  Dollar Video, with its many incarnations here, was always the best.  Totally great staff and a wonderful  "cult classics" section which basically gave me all my film education in my junior and senior years of high school.  Sadly, two years later they called it quits because a chain was moving right down the street.

Video Vault in Alexandria, VA or the DC metro area.  IT's s great shop with 5 floors.  THat is the only place I found super-old John Water's films.  They have an extensive cult section.

I swear this ain't a plug, but...Laser Blaser in West L.A. (on Pico just east of Overland) has the greatest selection of DVD's for rent anywhere.  They also have Laserdiscs for rent.  There's also a video store on the corner of Hillhurst and Franklin, forgot the name, but they have a great selection (especially VHS titles that are way out of print).  Vidiots in Santa Monica is great as well.

Sadly, I don't live in L.A. anymore, hence I can't patronize these fine stores.  

Scarecrow in Seattle is great; there are plenty in the Bay Area.  It helps to reside in a large metropolitan area.
