I just noticed this place when I was driving to town yesterday. According to their website, Sequim is only one of the two locations in Washington. I’d never heard of them before seeing the sign. Their sign says .99¢ movie rentals, but their site says from .99¢ so I’m not sure on the prices. Where do you rent movies?
i never rent movies! i did that with my parents, wow, now already 20 years ago…. we do goto the movies a lot (although i think its rather expensive), and sometimes we buy dvds at the used bookstore… but we have to watch it on laptops as we dont have a TV!
Don’t rent much. Sometimes watch on-demand movies from Netflix. Use to rent from Blockbuster until they suddenly closed their store and left town. Things sure have changed.
I have a number of Canal Plus channels and they have most of the newish movies and TV shows. Other than that i download via Pirate Bay.
I read the article about this place…They are .99 but charge this per day, so if you keep it 2 days it’s 1.99. I cannot say enough for Netflix! We’ve belonged since 2003 and at one time had 6 out at a time. Now we are down to 3. The streaming feature is great and we enjoy that but most of the “new” films are not on that. We are movie people and rent a vast assortment..I love the foreign films and my speciality is Sci Fi or Horror (but not the gruesome slashers). Despite what some complain about with Netflix, I’ve never had a problem with them. As fast as I return them , they send me new ones. It sure beats the drive-up , go in and pick something out.
I’m with Pat. Netflix has my vote. Watched a BBC miniseries last night, that I might never had rented.
I’m big on Netflix too, we’ve been using them since before we moved here. We don’t have TV so that’s our prime source of movies. I really like the streaming, but keep a through-the-mail account too because we enjoy foreign movies and need the subtitles and don’t have that through the streaming. We also have a Blockbuster online account because they get some movies 28 days before Netflix and we can also get games through them (which we like to try out before buying.) We’ll also pick movies up at the library now and then too.
I missed the article on it Pat. Don’t know which paper it was in, but we only subscribe to the Peninsula Daily News.
Shannon, the article was in the Sequim Gazette about a month back. I hope he can make a go of it but how do you compete against Netflix?
We rent from a store called Hastings but if we like the movie or have seen it before we’ll just buy it usually. Soon I think Netflix is going to kill off all the bigger places. My favorite Hollywood Video closed last year because they couldn’t compete.
I usually prefer to go to a movie theater. The experience of sitting in the dark and having my whole head filled with the movie is so much better than watching on TV and getting distracted.
Your comment
We are not enrolled in Netflix, but rent a lot of movies from both Red Box as well as Blockbuster kiosks for $1.00/day. Both groups frequently offer free rentals also when you rent one or two movies. Have not been to a movie theatre in years – prefer to watch at home and not be subjected to people talking behind you, cell phones ringing, babies crying as well as the very loud sound effects in the theatres.
Netflix has my vote! We’ve used it since 2004 & have had great service. Like you, Shannon, we don’t have a TV hookup. I love that I can keep a long list, add to it, and then just have them come in the mail. A friend originally talked me into trying it and once I did I never looked back. I didn’t much care for the people I dealt with at Blockbuster and often couldn’t find what I wanted because anything not mainstream could end up buried anywhere and staff was no help finding it.
