Here is a place where the people working have a passion for movies. They can answer any questions you have, no matter how simple or specific. In addition, they write reviews of their own and post them on the wall for all the new releases. The collection is phenomenol filled with the basic genres as well as international films which you only hear about at the Oscars. To top it all off, the prices here are astoundingly cheap when you pay up-front for 25 movies, you get a special price which equals about $2.50 a movie.

There was a time I thought I just had to have every one of David Lynch's films and some of his older works is really difficult to locate. Kim's video was the only place that I could purchase Eraserhead...I thought that was quite an accomplishment. I also found a copy of a non-dubbed original language of Fellini's Casanova...that was really surprising.
Additionally, the staff is really knowledgeable about movies and yes at times I am the annoying customer who comes in to ask a really generalized stupid question like " uh...do you know that movie where the girl was wearing a dress and was murdered with a knife?"
Surprisingly enough, with enough effort ( from the kind sales people) I always find my movie. Cheers to you Kim!

Not only do they carry the manga series PRIEST, by Tokyo Pop but they also stock dolls, figurines and all kinds of collectible memorabilia! I love that I can call ahead and reserve a copy and how friendly and helpful their staff is. Their hours are convenient but they can get pretty crowded. I have a hell of a time finding parking but it is worth it!

Another great alternative to Kim's Video can be found at Tla, which is nicer, neater and better organized, even as it functions on the same basic cinema-nut premise as Kim's. Also, their computer systems and membership records are from this decade, so checking movies out doesn't take a gazillion years.

Tower Records is large loud and fully stocked with all of the newest DVD's, Cd's and anything music and/or movie related. You can find it smack dab in the heart of Times Square. It's great to hang out on the lower floors way they have the magazine/books, cafe and sofas. They also have movie theater on the lower level and a bathroom somewhere around. Stop by when they have sales and stock up.

More
Kim's Video is like a movie rental store in an independent movie with a quirky staff and interior design. It's all good though, and the staff seems to have somehow memorized every movie ever made. If you are at a loss as to what movie to rent the employees' picks are the best. Now for the really good part, they have movies that you will not find under the same roof anywhere else and they have the cheapest rentals in New York. If you think $1.25 for an older film or TV show, even just released, or $2.00 for a just released film that was in the theaters last month is expensive than there is no pleasing you.

I am a movie buff - I watch just about every kind of film from every decade since the silents. It is difficult to stump the staff at New York Video as they carry just about everything (and they order it as soon as it comes out). It is a small store and doesn't display titles like some of the big chains (instead, the covers are on LP album covers that you flip through).
The staff is EXTREMELY helpful. I have had many great conversations with them about films, coffee, the neighborhood....all in all, a pleasant place and I am proud to be a patron.

Well, to be honest I never really shopped for the best prices and quality for used CDs. But I do favor Tower Records on Broadway because I've bought a used CD at this location, the CDs always appear to be in mint condition.
Now the only complaint I have is that they're used CD selection is spread throughout the store. On all three floors you have a USED CD Section so make sure that if when your searching you look through all the sections.
Also if you call during the day during the week, the sales rep that answers the phone might be kind enough to actually look to see if they have a particular cd, which could save you subway ride.
Hope this was Helpful - Paul

My videoclub across the street has been like a dream come true to me (as I greatly appreciate movies!). Not only they provide me with a wide movie selection but also they make sure I know what I'm taking home to watch with my kids! Thank you so much for the good evenings me and my family have been spending together in front of the tv watching some go family entertainment!!

A MUST SEE - My absolute favorite DVD store - this place has it all and has it cheap. EO carries all the TOP 40 Hollywood hits and very rare/hard to find wares, too. Look here for that disc before going to Tower/Virgin - it's a lot cheaper and you'll find variety. EO has big Game, Adult, Foreign, Classics and Hits sections but they don't neglect Black, Anime, Budget (real cheap) & TV sections. You can even find an out of print bootleg if you're willing to look; you'll find that special gift for the movie buff .
