I am a reformed girl-- I have seen the light that is smaller, independent video rental stores. The best in my opinion is Scarecrow Video. Now, I admit, Blockbuster video has been a long-standing family practice. But now that my movie tastes have grown I have to look elsewhere for movies. The Blockbuster selection is shameful! The "New Release" wall is littered with releases that date back more than a year! Want an older movie on DVD? I doubt they have updated their stock to include that. And the foreign film selection? RETARDED. I tried to get a copy of La Dolce Vita and was told it was lost by a customer and when inquiring as to when the next one would be ordered for the store I was given a "I doubt we will at all". Umm... thanks, but no thanks. I'm tired of this chainstore and am now given wholly to Scarecrow.

Blockbuster typically has a very poor selection. They are overpriced (in comparison to the competitors) and they tend to have the censored versions of movies when uncensored versions are available. To boot..these folks have been in trouble more than once for their business practices. Another added bonus every time I have ever gone to this place there is like 1 person working the checkout and there is a huge line of people! Not worth the hassle. Try NetFlix!
