5 Stars: I'll go out of my way to visit Videotheque (by JM M.)

My first impression of this video store was that I could throw a dart and be content to rent whatever it hit. The staff hand pick the store's films with such care that the crap is already filtered out! At most video stores it's an effort just to find SOMETHING interesting, but here it takes effort to decide which great film to take home because we're presented with a plethora of intriguing choices. Films are organized by television series, directors, foreign films and their country of origin, and genre. There's a great documentary section situated next to staff picks that range from sagacious to hilarious! The staff at Videotheque are wonderful. One staffer even drives out from Claremont once a week because it's that much fun to hang out at Videotheque! It's a joy just to go in and visit with this team of people, plus Mission Street is a great area to visit. So, drive out, get a movie, have some coffee at Buster's and enjoy yourself.

PROS: Staff, no crap to weed through on shelves, located in great area.
CONS: It's not around the corner, but WELL worth the drive.
