Our nearest DVD rental store is Blockbuster, but I've never liked their emphasis on multiple copies of new releases and hardly any copies of anything actually interesting.
The Film Shop on Broadway Market however has their DVDs arranged by genre and then by director, as they clearly advocate the auteur theory of film. They also have a list of 100 films they think you ought to see, which I've seen about 75 titles from. It's slightly snobby, but I do love being able to find a good film that I've never heard of, and it certainly can offer that. I also like knowing I can go there and easily find any classic film I care to think of, and a good selection of interesting new stuff as well.
They've decorated the store with tapestries based on classic film posters, which I like a lot.
