I lived in Connecticut for many years when I was younger but that was before The Archive was a shop…read moreand it's a place I've been wanting to hit up for years. I recently got into collecting Criterion releases and thanks to some open time, I was able to head out to Bridgeport on a recent trip out east and finally give this place a shot. From the moment you walk into The Archive you are completely surrounded by Blu rays, DVDs, 4Ks, VHS tapes, and every single thing that could possibly exist next to them. This place has every inch of the walls decorated, every shelf is full of movies, and all three rooms are slam packed with cool stuff. I spent probably an hour talking movies with the staff, digging through all the different sections, and it took a whole lot of restraint to not leave with 30+ movies (can't really fit that on a plane). Due to space restrictions for the flight home, I was only able to pick one thing up but Days of Heaven is safely at home in LA now and a proud member of the collection. Overall, The Archive is definitely one of the best stores the nutmeg state has to offer. The decorations were cool, the movie selection was absolutely unbeatable, the staff was knowledgeable, and it was definitely one of the best movie hunting experiences I've had in many, many years.

The Archive is a physical media retail store that opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut in June 2017…read more It was founded by friends and business partners Brandon Upson, James Neurath, Ryan Emerson and Ralph Stevens. The shop is the brick & mortar division of Vinegar Syndrome: a film restoration and distribution company that specializes in protecting and preserving genre films (mainly produced between the 1960s and 1980s). The company was founded in 2012 by Emerson and business partner Joe Rubin and named for the acidic smell of deteriorating film. It is considered a boutique Blu-ray label and to date has released well over 800 titles on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD. The Archive is dedicated to selling movies and music in a wide variety of physical media formats. Consumers will find all sorts of new and used titles available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, Betamax, Laserdisc, Vinyl, CD, and Cassette tape. A second location opened in Aurora (CO) in October 2022 and a third (named 'Vinegar Syndrome') opened in Toronto (ON) in October 2023. I've been doing business with the Archive for a number of years now. I'm a huge fan of collecting physical media. Although streaming media seems to be the way to go now, streaming services are only as good as your internet connection, the quality is too compressed and titles are disappearing all the time. I like having an actual vinyl record or 4K disc in my hands. Physical formats are also usually loaded with all sorts of liner notes, posters and bonus features that you won't get with streaming services. I try to stop at the shop every few months or so. While I sometimes leave empty handed, other times I leave with some great finds. They often carry great film releases from labels like Arrow Video, Blue Underground, The Criterion Collection, Severin Films, Shout! Factory, and of course Vinegar Syndrome. At times, the shop will even get a limited amount of new releases weeks before they are available on Amazon. If you're a fan of physical media then you need to get to the Archive right away!

I just read a lot of the negative reviews here. I think…read morepeople are forgetting that this is a THRIFT STORE. ISLAND THRIFT IS A GREAT THRIFT STORE! They have amazing sales. You have to know their sales schedule and policies. They give seniors discount Monday through Wednesday or Thursday . You just have to ask. On Wednesdays nearly the whole store is half price--Sundays also. They have sale days on clothing where all clothing is half off, it might be even be 75% off. Again find out their sales policies. They also have fitting rooms--nice sized ,not fancy. You don't want to go barefoot in them, but they have them. I've been in thrift stores with no fitting rooms and you just have to hope the clothing you buy would fit. At Northern thrift you can try on clothes and they have MIRRORS -- again nothing fancy or elegant but it's functional. I have found amazing things here. Yes some things are overpriced. Somethings are ridiculously UNDERPRICED . If you're a Thrifter, you know the value of this place. I once found a John Hardy Sterling Silver picture frame. I paid $1.50 for it. It originally sold for $600. It resales online for $300. It was heavily tarnished and just needed to be polished. This is the kind of place you can find treasures if you know what you're looking for. Another time I saw an unusual vase. while I was there, I researched it and found the vase online on eBay. It sells on eBay for $1000. I paid 20 for it. Then I found other pieces that matched this amazing ceramic vase. It must have been bought as a collection. Originally made in Paris in the 1920s. I have it packed away right now. I haven't decided what to do with it. But what I bought was worth a couple thousand dollars. And I paid $100 for all the pieces. I like to imagine it was something somebody collected on their honeymoon. The grandchildren didn't recognize the value of it and just brought it all to the thrift store. Again, you have to have an eye for what's valuable. If you do, you can find amazing things. But if you're lazy and just want come in and see that everything is low, low priced --you might be disappointed. You have to look, you have to search, but you can find truly amazing and valuable items-- including in the clothing section. They have plenty of cashiers to accommodate the sometimes long lines on sales days. The bathrooms are kept clean. I go there often and see many of the same people who go there every day looking for finds. I'm not a reseller, but I know these people are and they are there all the time. Obviously, they see the value of this place. Recently, I've needed some pots for a new convection stove top. I got amazing high-quality pots there for five dollars. I've been to several other thrift stores with no luck but at Island Thrift I usually find what I need as well as amazing furniture and decorative pieces. Go, and go often. Something great is waiting there for you!
