One of the better video rental places I've been to in the country
I'll see if it changes once the school year starts, and change my rating accordingly.
This place has quite a bit of variety ranging from box office hits to foreign films to cult classics. Although it was kind of hard to find a particular film with each shelf having multiple movie genres on it, the friendly cashier helped me to locate the film I was looking for. The rental itself was a tad on the pricey side when compared to services like Redbox. However, their large selection of films is unmatched. If you consider yourself a movie buff or if you just want to watch something new, then you should definitely check this place out.
tl;dr call ahead before you go on a whim, or it may not be open.
Their hours may as well be by appointment during the summer. I've gone there several times to see a sign in the window saying they're closed, and on a couple occasions no sign of explanation, just nothing there but a sign saying they should be open. This is also a new issue since I moved back to town this summer, it wasn't an issue in summers past.
Great experience, and I really appreciate that they exist. It's a service that netflix and redbox don't provide with greater selections of movies and the ability to rent same night.
BUT
Amazing selection of films. For any complaints you may have read, this is volunteer-run. Organizations like this need to be supported.
This store probably has the best DVD selection in the state - especially if your taste runs towards cult, indie, and foreign films.
