If you're looking for something ultra specific, Limelight Video will likely be able to fill the niche.
With sections dedicated to directors, countries, and foreign languages, the store houses more than 25,000 titles. The staff is always helpful, just don't be deterred by the attitude with waivers from aloof to indifferent.
Expect to find plenty of British film and tv, Canadian films, and plenty of independent movies. That being said, you'll also be able to find the big commercial new releases here. And for those still on VHS, this place will sustain you with movies for a few years yet. -

Ooooo. Should I give Limelight five stars? Ummmmm, not quite. It's pretty small, and the young, dorky staff can be annoying.
I love Limelight though. I took several Film classes during my time at UBC and Limelight never let me down when I was searching for those elusive IRA-and-Mexican-related films (can you guess which Film classes I took?).
I would like to stress that Limelight is not a specialty video store. They have an amazing selection of obscure films, but they also have a good 'New Releases' section upon which they depend for steady business.
Try Limelight before expensive Video Matica or teeny Black Dog (although I looove Black Dog...heh heh). -

I adore Limelight. They always have whatever I want to see - new release or ANYTHING older than that. I love their selection of foreign films and TV shows. The staff are really nice and accommodating and treat you like a person without that whole "it's policy" line when it comes to late fees, etc.
