I didn't know there were still any West Coast Videos still around. All the ones in MA closed I believe

There are still a few around here but they all suck. They are all dark and dingy.

Used to live about six blocks from that place (almost a year back). They have a decent selection of titles, not to mention several TV on DVD sets (sealed). If stuff is on sale there could be some good deals to be had. :)

yeah started Wednesday May 7 at 11am and will run for "about a month"

i managed to score a robocop criterion for around 6 bucks and some change
most tv show sets range from about 12.88 (curb your enthusiasm) to 14.00 (the L word, south park)
New releaeses come to about 3 for 34.95 and regular releases (which are very mixed and varied) are 3 for 19.99.

Stranger than Paradise (bought)
The Third Man
Murmur of the Heart
Au Revoir Les Enfants
F for Fake
Diabolique
Throne of Blood
Chasing Amy
Royal Tannenbaums

Were you thinking of something else, perhaps? That's not out on Criterion...

Thanks for the update!

WEEDEDOUT 05-08-08 12:48 PM

yeah i have no idea what it was then.

Most West Coast Videos were bought out or closed in the Phila area in the 90's. That particular location wasn't bad though. If I still lived near Phila, I would check it out.

rehmus 05-08-08 02:07 PM

haha, i guess that's a no.

icarwngs55 05-08-08 06:03 PM

Wow, I remember the one in Royersford, PA a long time ago. I'm not sure I knew they were a chain.

There's a store called "West Coast" Video on the east coast? Funny.
