    This may be the only video store to survive the Netflix era. They have the most obscure movies from alllllll over the planet. Pay the 20$ membership, it's worth it if you're a movie fan.

    When you can't find your favorite Hungarian psychological thriller online or at the Blockbuster, it is time to head inside the "Black Box"! Boite Noire is the posher alternative to your video rental service. Basically their selection is astounding. The store has two floors, the basement being dedicated to World cinema rentals. When they write "World cinema" they mean it: this is the only place you can find actual Japanese movies they show in Japan as opposed to selected international releases. Also the only place to go for little known cinema (Finnish? anyone?).
    You can buy and rent, they are very big on renting: take notes of their specials (Wednesday: 3 Documentaries for 1, Mondays: 3/1 student specials!). I am much more of a buyer and it bothers me that their selection of videos to buy is limited.

    The Mont-Royal place is lovely and spacious, chances are if you don't have a particular country of producer in mind, you'll get lost! Fear not, the employees are here to help you and they are extremely well informed. Thing is, you have to go to them, in their "Information" corner. The shop also has a small selection of snacks to munch on while watching your flick, as well as memorabilia.

    Boîte Noire Boutique Vidéo (La)
    376, avenue du Mont-Royal Est, Montréal, QC H2T 1P9
    N° de téléphone : 514-287-1249 - Real Adress, they moved.

    Open until 11 pm pretty much ever day.

    Good place to rent movies. They have a huge selection of old movie, classic and Independant.

    i would say that the first store is mainly to purchase some DVD, mostly New DVD but also an ok selection of Used.

    Basement floor and some part of main floor is 100% Rental. Still lot of VHS for Répetoire movies, but more and more, old movies are being produce in DVD so we got more rental.

    Price is okay, not the best feature of that place. The way to rent is really «open» and fees to continue rental are not completly crazy like so much video club are.

    Overall: Possible rental: HUGE
    Sales: Average
    Really accessible.

    Excellent video rental place. In the month or so that I've been visiting BN, I've watched more brilliant, oddball films than ever before. Membership is worth it.
