The staff will help you pick the right movie for the right occasion. They have a good selection of foreign films/docs/tv shows. Oh, it's also walking distance from my house. Did I mention free popcorn?
First off, this place has the best ice cream in the world. Grab a kiddie cone and browse the rentables, heavy on classics and outsider goodness. I even scored an old VHS copy of Dario Argento's "Deep Red" from the clearance rack for $2 on my first visit.
A great selection of cult and other classics, docs, foreign film, horror and campy goodness, festival selections and all the best new releases fill the shelves; the owner and the gang behind the counter are friendly and knowledgeable (and know you); and there's an great cafe and ice cream parlour right inside. It's a winning combo that has made this place something of a local hangout in the warmer months, with the benches and steps outside full of neighbourhood folks, fams, couples and dogs.
they have a really exceptional selection of foreign films, documentaries, Canadiana, mini series and TV shows, and rare films. Not your average Blockbuster or Rogers. Plus, they serve up some of the best icecream in town. A total neighbourhood fixture.
