Videotheque is a little hidden gem in the heart of South Pasadena. There's an infinite selection of vintage classic features to choose from along with current movies. If you have a dvd that's been sitting around, dust it off, visit this place and cozy-up with a vintage classic.

Foreign films, classics, documentaries, cult movies, hard to find, and everything in between films to rent. Very cool shop. If they don't have it, you can request it! Their new location is up and running. Friendly and helpful staff.

Videotheque is the beating indie heart of South Pasadena. As corporate chain stores of every ilk rob this small town of its identity, Videotheque gives it personality. I say this knowing that South Pas is letting this gem go. Apparently, the landlord wants too much for the rent. Videotheque is taking its incredible selection and knowledgeable staff and moving to Highland Park. I'll be following. Now my only reason to go to South Pas is the library.

Right now, in the summer of 2023, Videotheque is the best place to rent physical media. That includes the new and welcome iteration of Vidiots. Videotheque and includes brand new releases of older classics as well as brand new releases of latest movies. A total gem. Hope there move to new digs in Highland Park goes smoothly

If you are a movie lover, you have to at least check the Viodetheque once! They have an array of movies, various genres, nicely organized. I could spend hours in here since the selection is very good, they have more obscure titles on DVD, VHS, cool posters. Decent sized store. I don't live in South Pasadena area, otherwise I would come here often and rent from there. But if you love movies and live in the area, give this place a shot! It's more to fun to chat about movies with like minded peeps, you might discover a hidden gem or at least enjoy a fun conversation!

Videotheque is an overlooked gem of LA and Hollywood history! It's primarily a DVD rental store, which I didn't realize until halfway through my visit. But you can also buy used Blu-Rays, DVDs, and VHS. It's all layed out by niche or category, so if you're super into Akira Kurosawa you can find all of his movies in one place. Or if you want to rent a specific Agfa rerelease, those are lumped together on their own shelf.It's really a fascinating ode to movie-lovers and it feels special just looking around in the cramped aisles.Oh, and they have arcade cabinets for you to play as well!

Really cool dvd rental place. Really great selection of movies. I did not do enough research before coming as i did not realize going in it was mostly a dvd rental place. That threw me off initially. At first i couldn't decipher where the for sale section was vs what was for rent. Their section of dvds for sale wasn't huge but understandable as that isn't their main line of business.The first time I came I ended up renting some dvds and being a new customer, had to fill out some paperwork. The staff member that helped me looked beyond miserable and not friendly at all. Maybe he was having an off day but he was not personable and left me with a bad taste of the place. I can't imagine ever bringing that attitude to my work, but maybe I'm just old fashioned. As someone who loves film I don't understand how you can be so sad surrounded by all these films and people who love movies!?!The second time I came to return my dvds and I had a much better experience. I bought some dvds and blu-rays and the guy working was much friendlier. Can't speak enough on how important customer service is as I was ready to write this place off after my first visit. Overall I probably won't come back as I tend to just rent dvds from the library, but if I am ever looking for more unique/hard to find foreign movies I might stop by!

really feels like you walk into a whole different place inside. the numerous shelves of dvds/vhs tapes, the posters, the vinyls!!! i didn't even know they had that. i loved browsing the classic movies especially as i'm a big fan of those, and i absolutely loved the categories of numerous actors and actresses they had on display. i didn't have the chance to buy or rent anything from here when i first visited a few days ago, but i definitely will be coming back!

This shoppe has Sunday afternoon written all over it. If you are serious about film, this is your place. Less than a two minute walk from the Gold Line Station.Caution: visiting here may become habit forming!

From a previous review, this sums up my experience every single time. I come here almost every Saturday:"The staff here is not personable for the most part. I'm grateful for this place, but the staff is pretty much hit or miss with their attitude and welcoming vibe......It's almost like they'll help you but only because they have to and they're just kind of there you don't feel like they're happy to see you and won't do any small talk or anything like that. You're just kind of tolerated as a customer, that's the feeling I get from their front staff."
