King Hollywood Video

This is one awesome neighbourhood video store.
The deals — single movies are cheaper than any blockbusters or rogers and with their discounts it’s even better. Currently they have 2-​for-​1 deals on rentals on Mondays and discounts on old releases increasing the more you rent (perfect for TV on DVD marathons).
The selection — any new release I’ve ever looked for has been there. As others have said, their foreign and docs sections are great (as good as the average blockbuster, if not better).
Bonus? It’s not a chain store and they sell Ritter chocolate. Now that’s delicious.

One of the first things you do after moving into a neighbourhood is find where the local movie rental place is and get a membership. The second day after moving to King and Niagara, I walked across the street, credit card and ID in hand, to get a membership at what is now «King Hollywood Video» and what was then «Gone Hollywood Video». I’ve been renting there for nigh on six years and still find it to be delightfully independent, providing a list of titles that cover most of the bases. You can throw the odd stumper on a title that they’ve long since abandoned, but there is only so much space in the store.
It has been fun watching the store evolve, bringing on more and more different titles and categories as the neighbourhood market dictates. In my time, I’ve seen a section for «Documentaries» sprout up, and their «Foreign Film» section blossom beyond copies of «Das Boot», «La Femme Nikita», and «La Vita è bella».
Favourite part of the store is the back wall directly in front of the cash: Previously Viewed Movies. Again a space reclaiming move, multiple copies of fairly-​recent-​run films are available at truly reasonable prices. The longer you wait, the cheaper the deals get. Two, sometimes three DVDs for $ 20. They do the same sorts of deals for VHS (which is slowly on the way out) and their video game rentals (PS2, XBOX).
Come armed with your credit card and leave happy.
