Cinefile is a diamond in the rough! One of the last of a dying breed, the independent video store. They have super specific sections like PT Anderson or de Palma, criterion, you name it. Really fun to check this place out.

Since I love Rasputin I had to check this place out. Wow! All the classic music I like at great prices. Lots of Grateful dead CD's. They open an hour earlier on Sundays than Rasputin so they missed my business. A must stop.

Great selection. Great prices for used CDs and DVDs. Lots of floor space. Close to home. Best surprises are when I wander over to a section of interesting titles to physically look at and compare that do not pop into mind when sitting at a computer and buying online.

It's the best! If you're at all interested in movies, you're going to CineFile. They've got almost everything. It's great for both coming in with a list or browsing without an agenda. Top-tier selection of region-coded discs so you can see all sorts of international insanity. The guys who work there...

The best place to look for new or old video games in L.A., outside of the internet. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. More than fair pricing on sales and buy backs. My only complaints is the parking in that area is just bad in general.

Cool selection of lots of very hard to find titles that are NOT streaming. Helpful staff and good hours. Rates are reasonable, especially if you get a monthly plan. Highest recommendation.

When I ask for recommendations they reply with questions of their own, such as what genre or time period are you in the mood for, followed by a dialogue which completes with an excellent choice. Thanks guys, you maybe far from where I live but it is always worth the drive

I absolutely love this place. They have such a big collection! They also do exchanges too if you have items in your collection that you want to share with the world. I've gotten at least five used DVDs from this place. I've also given them at least eight from my collection.

Finally made it here. While not as large or as well-stocked as the Hollywood location, I found a number of CDs in classical to round out my collection, and a near mint AC-DC record for $20. A bit steep, but it yielded a first pressing that was pristine and pleasing.

Just go, there are not many better than the Haight street Amoeba. I've shopped for vinyl all over the west coast and this place is a mecca. They don't have everything but they have more you'll want than money in your pocket.

I rarely venture into the music section of this establishment mainly because I'm a cineaphile. I'm pretty sure I have never walked out of Amoeba without a few dvd's in my hand. I'm addicted to buying movies and sometimes they have unbelievable deals in their clearance section.
