That sucks. The Best Buy near me is very good for DVDs. They have 7 aisles of DVDs. The only thing that sucks about them is they don't get foreign films or Criterions unless they were popular films(i.e. Crouching Tiger, Chasing Amy, etc)

I worked at Best buy for about six months last year. I will never again step foot in another Best Buy ever again. They don't carry any Criterions, they never put out all their inventory and any computer toting DVDTalk member knows more about their media dept. than the employees do.
Do not support best buy. Buy from online merchants as much as possible and I even recommend WalMart over Best Buy.

Best Buy: Turn on the Crap!
Mileage may vary. My local Best Buy had Maniac tins, Wicker Man boxes, The Story of Riki-Oh, a decent amount of anime, varied Criterions (All That Heaven Allows, Black Narcissus, Charade, The Third Man, Brazil, Armageddon), Suspiria LEs out the wazoo... I didn't look for Baraka because I still haven't heard a reason the new SE of Baraka is any different from what I have.

You have to realize Best Buy does a lot more than just sell DVDs. If they were a dedicated DVD store then I would expect them to sell a more varied selection than they do. But that isn't what they are about, they are an all-purpose entertainment/computer/appliance store. There's no way they can carry the entire catalog of DVDs out there. They carry what they think the average customer would be interested in buying, not obscure titles that maybe one or 2 people might be interested in.
Their CD selection is a lot worse than their DVD selection. I don't have mainstream tastes, but the stuff I listen to does have a fairly large audience and they never carry any of it.

The BBs within my reach now have a wide variety of Criterion DVDs (even have Seven Samurai). I make a point not to ask the employees any questions because they are nuts (in general). I make my research on the internet and off to BB to browse and shop.

I despise Best Buy.

If you can't stand idiots and masses in B&M, order online!
You order will be delivered to your door step, you don't even have to deal with your postman if you wish
I like going to B&M, as well as ordering online, because it's still fun to browse through DVDs at a B&M...
