Mokena video may be retiring but their movie knowledge helped our family enjoy over 40 yrs of VHS entertainment.

2024 I dropped by Mokena Video one day, and it completely impressed me. With a Blu-ray/DVD player at home, I enjoy renting movies and watching them at my leisure. There's something special about being able to pause and rewind if I miss something. Despite having three smart TVs for streaming, it doesn't quite compare to the experience of browsing physical rentals, and it's not as cost-effective. I have a fondness for both current releases and classics, as it feels like stepping into a time machine and experiencing different eras. Video Bob, the owner of Mokena Video, curates an incredible selection of films, many of which are unavailable elsewhere. It's unfortunate that movie rental shops are disappearing, leaving all movies under the control of big corporations. Netflix has even halted their DVD mailing service, and Redbox has limited selection in their machines, though streaming options are available at a higher cost. If Video Bob can hang on a bit longer, he could establish an exclusive business that may thrive in the near future. I truly hope there's a resurgence in this area. DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K players are affordable and durable, lasting for many years. It would be a shame to see this valuable resource disappear forever! Chuck Jager

Mr. Bob is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. If he doesn’t have something on hand he’ll let you know when he can get it, or how you can if he can’t. People young and old love this store and Mr. Bob.

I've been renting videos here since the 1990's. Im very pleased to see a family owned video store still in business. Mokena video has new releases plus thousands of older movies to choose from including movies that are only available on VHS.Edit: Due to Covid-19 and the economy, they have since downsized and I believe they only carry new releases.

They have downzied quite a bit but the collection is still top notch and the service is good.Only open Friday and the weekends tho, which should be fine for most renters anyway.

My family and I have been customers at Mokena Video since my parents moved to Mokena in summer 1993. That was back in the VHS days and they always offered a consistently great stock of new and old movies. There have also been many times when we have been looking for a hard-to-find title and even when they didn't have it, they ordered it. We used to also rent video games from Mokena Video, as well, but I am not certain if they still offer them. Our daughter has grown out of them now. I would definitely recommend Mokena Video to anyone who lives in the vicinity, especially if you are new to Mokena. It is great to still have a reliable place who knows you by face to rent movies from instead of on-line or at a kiosk.

Wide range of DVD inventory and plenty of hard to find VHS cassette tapes. Wish the Laserdisc and Beta/VHS format were still available.

This is the best place to find every movie! I love it! They have all the movies you can't find on streaming services. Highly recommend.

I have been going here since I was 13 years old, and believe me, they have the greatest selection of movies no longer available on any streaming services anywhere. They are still going strong despite the Covid hitting many places like this harder than others which day they have selection but really are truly limited on what they actually have anymore. If looking for anything if the old school persuasion give them a look and if not out, ask them at the desk. Bob is truly amazing at what he still has
