    On the topic of being a geek / nerd / etc...

    If I've got a roster of movies I'd like to buy that might be deemed "obscure" by most standards (aka non-US made, oft low budget, or possibly even foreign language based movies)... is there a good LOCAL source OTHER than Best Buy to go find them?

    I'd prefer not to mail order if I don't have to (Amazon)... but I'm finding some of these I'm looking for Best Buy just doesn't carry - and the 18 year old hippy lettuce'd out help there often doesn't even know how to look up if they can get it let alone ever had the braincells enough to know the movie genre it'd fall under (you should have heard the conversation I had with this zombie there about 'Equillibrium'... oye vey!)

    Soooo...

    Anyone know of any good alternative sources to the Big Box Best Buy and/or Amazon?
    ...Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

    Are these asian imports? Cantoneese perhaps? Try "Criteron Collection" They have a TON of the old JOhn Woo, Chow Yun Fat type filcks.

    If you have a list, send it to me, I have some pretty obscure flicks too

    I'm hoarding my copy of "The Blood of Heroes" , but I think the Black and Read (reed that red) at 80th and Wads has an interesting selection of used media of all sorts.
