What People Are Saying About Vidiots

In Short – Vidiots is one of the few Westside video rental stores that specializes in independent film. It carries over 26,000 titles (2,500 are DVDs), and the weekend rental crowd rivals the two nearby Blockbusters. It stocks films from a mix of major and independent studios, as well as a wide range of foreign titles. Vidiots also offers a decent selection of fiction and non-fiction books for sale.
Lots of old school
by dylawat at Citysearch
great place, lots of Classics and rare finds. Bit out of the way, but worth the trip. The staff is knowledgable and friendly.
- Pros: rare movie
- Cons: bit far
The best video rental place...
by alipoo2002 at Citysearch
They have pretty much any movie ever made plus the finest selection of rare and obsure titles, documentaries, sci-fi, genre defying, art films, etc. The people that work there are all helpful and really conneseurs of film.
They also have really great, unique holiday cards when christmas comes around...very california-centric or goofy-beachy themes. Fun.
The Most Comprehensive Video Store
by tychovski at Citysearch
Vidiots has the greatest selection of Videos & DVD's I have ever seen. All genres and mediums are represented. The staff are not only very knowledgeable, but friendly and helpful as well. Street parking is available, but not reliable. Rental rates are quite reasonable, considering few other stores have half the selection they do. If you've been trying to find something you'd seen years ago, and no-one knows what you're talking about, Vidiots has two copies of it waiting.
- Pros: Selection, Knowledgeable
- Cons: Parking
