Most unique and interesting selection of video rentals in LA -- stuff you'd never find at blockbuster!
Video Rentals with Character A video rental store clearly run by humans, Vidiots is peppered with quirky signs and suggestions that would never be allowed at a large chain. For example, they have at least one movie that is free with any rental (I guess one of the employees really wants people to see it) and at the front counter they have signs indicating that they will not serve you if you are talking on your cell phone.
This is the best video store in LA and in the country. They have something for everyone. Think of it like video on demand in a video store. If you are tired of going to Blockbuster and looking for something a bit different you can find it at Vidiots. If you want to see every James Bond film ever made they've got it or an interesting movie from the 50s or 60s they've got it. A true place for movie lovers.
This is the best video / dvd rental store I've been able to find in Socal. Imagine -- not a single decent video store in the Pasadena area. Sheesh. Anyway, Vidiots has the nerdiest staff of all time, that probably knows that movie you can't quite remember. Long lines, and the nerds can be surly -- but if you gotta go all the way to Venice from La Canada to get a decent foreign film, you're looking for knowledge, not charm.
Great local video store. The alternative to Blockbuster. They have a great selection of rare and hard to find videos. They have movies catagorized by director and genre. Their prices are cheaper than most stores and they offer prepaid cards for an even bigger discount. SOme times hard to find new releases on Friday Saturday nights and the store is difficult to navigate if you're in a hurry.
this is an AMAZING place to go if your looking for that "hard to find" cult movie...jammed packed with hundreds (if not thousands) of selections you can find almost anything. It's also very reasonably priced and very knowledgable staff. I great find!
