- Wow, don't know where you live but if BlockBlister has the best selection
- of foreign movies in your area, then the pickins must be slim.

- The town I live in (Boulder, CO) has this great video store called the
- Video Station. The people who work there love film and are very, very
- knowledgable about it. The have a huge selection of foreign movies.

- Every town deserves a store like that. I remember my days college
- days in Montana.....Would've killed to have a store even as lame
- as LackLuster Video move into town.
