Customers often ask us why we still carry VHS. Well, the truth is, a lot of important films still haven't made it into the 21st century, and are patiently awaiting their Region 1 DVD debut. Others were briefly released on DVD, only to go out of print, sending the price of second hand copies skyrocketing (if you can even find one second hand). For the month of February we've decided to gather all these films conveniently on our feature shelf. Chances are you can't find many of them elsewhere.

It was only when we started digging that we realized just how many of these rarities we have. The shelf is overflowing and we're still finding more in the store! Here are a few that stand out:

200 MOTELS (Tony Palmer and Frank Zappa. 1971. USA)
COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN (Robert Altman. 1982. USA)
THE GARDEN (Derek Jarman. 1990. UK)
GREED (Erich von Stroheim. 1924. USA)
JOHNNY STECCHINO (Roberto Benigni. 1991.Itay)
LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA (Aki Kaurismaki. 1989. Finland)
THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (Orson Welles. 1942. USA)
THREADS (Mick Jackson. 1984. UK)
TOM WAITS: BIG TIME (Chris Blum. 1988. USA)
TOUTE UNE NUIT (Chantal Akerman. 1982. FRANCE)
TRUST (Hal Hartley. 1990. UK)

Don't have a VCR? Not to worry. We've got one you can rent by the week.
