When coming to Madrid and realizing that I was going to have to cancel my Netflix subscription, I almost didn't board the plane... That's how important watching movies is to me; I try to watch 3-4 a week at the minimum, so I needed something.
Per the recommendation of a friend, I stopped in this place when passing by one day and decided to have a look-see. At first I was confused at the order and seemingly random collection, but after a second I realized this place is a video store with integrity.
There is a wonderful balance of films from France, Spain, Germany, the US and probably more. One of my favorite things is that some of the movies are organized by director so instead of browsing large sections by genre you can choose your movie by style, which is so important for whatever mood you're in. Sofia Coppola will provide a different night than David Lynch...
The lady behind the counter was super helpful and recommended that I go to the shop in Tirso, which I will be doing very soon.
Only complaint is the price; all movies were over 3 euro(I think) for 2 nights. However, if you are a local you can get a months membership for 20 euro and I think it's unlimited. If that's the case, it's a bargain for the selection of films they have.
