The Movie Fan

I am actually surprised that I have never been to The Movie Fan before since I have lived here all my life. I went today after work and I was very surprised with it. I walk in and to my right there are chairs with magazines and lights everywhere. It wasn’t crowded at all when I went, so I was a little curious about the whole experience. The movie I chose for my project is Titanic so I looked around for that and I couldn’t find it, so I went up to the front desk and asked the guy if he had it. He told me where I could find it and I got it without any problems. He was so precise with his answer; he said go to aisle six and go down three sections. I loved the environment it had. There were cut outs of candy boxes on the walls, lights everywhere, and had a movie playing. The whole store had the “family owned” feel to it, which I love. Comparing The Movie Fan to where I normally go rent movies at Family Video, I saw many differences. First of all, Family Video does not sell any movie posters. The Movie Fan had tons of posters on the walls and also for sale. I thought that was a great, unique idea because college kids love to put posters up in their dorms and apartments. One thing that I liked about Family Video more is that they cleaned your DVD right before you rent it. I didn’t see the owner clean my movies, so I’m not sure if they do..but I don’t think he did. No one likes getting scratched up movies that skip, so I highly recommend any movie rental store to do that. One distinctive characteristic about The Movie Fan is that you bring up the little slip of paper to the front counter and then the owner goes to the back and finds the movie. I think that’s a very organized way of doing business. I am watching a movie that I rented from there and it hasn’t skipped once. So from my one experience at The Movie Fan, I would definitely recommend it to any movie lover.
