Flik's Video to Go is a local video rental service that offers both pick-up and delivery in addition to in-person rental. However, since it is not capable of directly competing with Blockbuster, it does have standard 3-day rentals and late fees. It also charges normal prices of ~$3 per rental. It has a wide selection of current releases. It also has international and adult titles for those interested. Its location near Rittenhouse Square is also convenient. When I have not been able to find an arthouse flick at a mainstream video rental place (like City of God, for example) because they at most have one or two copies, I have always found the movie in stock at Flik's. The videos themselves are also behind the counter so you have to ask the clerk if a particular title is in - which can also be time-saving if you know what you want to begin with.
