Awesome Selection - I like this place a lot, unlike normal DVD stores its not all bright lights and 30 copies of that new teen comedy romance staring some recently upskirted hollywood train wreck. Its actually a very calm place and the floorboards are all sanded and the light is muted and it almost makes you want to curl up on the floor and start watching some film on your psp or portable DVD player - I actually don't have either of these so I have to wait until I get home.
The selection is huge, upstairs DVDs are arranged by director which can be a little confusing if like me you never pay attention to who directed what. Downstairs there's a huge selection of foreign language films, art films, experimental and all that jazz (yes there is a music section). I managed to escape with 2 american indie films and 1 musical (its not got that much singing in it and the costumes are awesome) nd it came to 6 quid for the weekend - bargain.
The only slightly annoying thing about this place is that its full of really knowledgeable film people (mainly the customers) so if you can't find that copy of Mean Girls and you ask the cashier if its in stock you instantly feel like a philistine, this probably isn't a problem for most people but it can be quite tricky when you have a secret penchant for teen comedy romances and the Fast & the Furious series.
