This is the best local “video” store I have ever had. Video Vision is situated on Carlisle Street in St Kilda and has the best selection of DVD’s possible. How I know this is because I have a test. I am a huge film lover and there was a film I watched when I was younger called “Don’s Plum” and have never found a copy since due to the fact it had a very limited release as it was boycotted by actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire as the whole film is in black and white and is overexposed. I actually really liked it and no DVD store has ever had it, let alone heard of it. Until now. Not only did they have it in, the “film buff” behind the desk told me the history of the film and gave me recommendations on other films I probably hadn’t seen.

This is the nature of the store and is understandable due to the fact there are sections dedicated to “100 films you have to see before you die” (made by the staff) and “Highly recommended” (again by the staff) but due to their undoubtedly good knowledge it makes selecting films easy. If that’s not your thing there are also sections categorized by Director’s name, Academy Award winners, Stoner flicks, Chick flicks, Arthouse, Foreign, Nostalgic, Cult and more! It’s a film lover’s paradise. It’s almost too good at times as they have films that aren’t registered to Australia’s region and will only work on some DVD players. Again, this just shows they are committed and the one time they didn’t have a film I wanted, they were happy to order it in and probably took it quite personal.
