5 stars, and let me tell you why. Film Buff is the the only equivelent to the much loved Suspect and Queen Video movie rental shops this far out west. You wont find 10 copies of the latest blockbuster film for rent but there is a good chance you can find that indie, foriegn or classic film you've been trying to hunt down and watch. In fact you don't even have to step but three feet in the door until you encounter a standing rack of semi-obscure films picked out by the staff that would make for great viewing. They also have a very good selection of TV series box sets (this is where I was able to find Rollergirls and Life on Mars).
What else? The place also doubles as a cafe and ice cream parlor. Need a latte and a table to sit at as you and your SO deliberate over whether to rent Pride and Prejudice or Kung Fu Hustle? You can do it at Film Buff. Need some Atomic Chocolate ice cream to munch on as you decide between watching Dr. Strangelove or Hadashi no Gen? They got that too. Oh, and the ice cream is only $2.50 for a big scoop!
The staff are not exactly film geeks but they are knowledgeable and friendly enough in helping you find what you are looking for. If you live in the nieghborhood this is the video rental place you want to got to.
