::An essential part of Wellington. If this goes under, culture is truly dead.

::Andrew (the owner) and all the staff are always efficient and polite. Their extensive knowledge of movies is useful when I'm trying to remember a title or looking for a similar movie to one I like. I fell out of the habit of regularly going here years ago after I moved to Upper Hutt from Aro Valley (although I work in Wellington city) then saw in the news (15 months ago) that they were in danger of closing. They started offering quarterly/3 month unlimited rental deals and I bought one and have continued to do so every three months. They are great value as my son and I watch multiple movies (and sometimes a TV series) every week. I regularly walk from work to there at lunchtime or after work to return titles and get new ones (although they also offer a courier/post service around New Zealand).We have watched everything from the latest releases to a movie made 90 years ago. I have caught up with classic films that I somehow never got around to watching, rewatched favourite movies that I haven't seen in ages and watched recommended new films that I missed at the cinema. Aro St Video has 21,000 movie titles & 2,000 TV shows (including a few hundred movies on video that have never been released on DVD). My son and I now have a video player as well so we have started watching those, too! Aro St Video has a far greater selection than any online pay streaming service offers. Plus they have many titles than cannot be obtained at all from Netflix, Lightbox, etc. I hope they continue to stay open for many years yet and I encourage everyone to go and have a look for yourself. Membership is free and you can start by hiring just one weekly rental title or new overnight release (or buy a 10 trip card that offers discounted rentals). In the words of Jackie Chan - "Just do it!"
