User Reviews of Kims Video and Music

Rude & Unhelpful Employees

I've been going to Kim's for some time-- at first, just to rent videos for my boss, but then on my own when I was curious if they had any new foreign cinema releases. I went in on a couple of occasions during...

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have purchased quite a few DVD's from Kim's in the East Village because of their great selection. However, after purchasing a factory sealed DVD that was missing the actual DVD in the case, I was treated...

Important & Classic!

Kims video is so important for all film buffs and people that still buy CDs. This is pretty much a classic haunt for St Marks. I loaded up on tons of great music here Ska, Jazz, Punk, Funk, Drum and Bass you...

Confusing!

Save me from Kim's Video. I appreciate their broad selection, but finding anything there is utterly maddening. Yes, it's ostensibly organized by director, but it is also organized by genre and count...

Very large collection of movies to rent

Can't find a particular movie in your local video store? Kim's is the place to go. They have an extensive collection and will tell you over the phone if they stock your movie. The only bad thing is...

Best for obscure titles

I went shopping for my brother's birthday, my brother being the hardest person in the world to shop for. I found a DVD of "Destroy All Monsters", a Godzilla movie that even Amazon didn't have at the time. Now,...

The best around by Lisa M. at InsiderPages

Kims basically has everything you could want from a store. Their music and dvd selection is known for really hard to find obscurities. Because of their wide selection, you can pretty much bet that they'll have...

Specializes in foreign and cult classics and everything in between.

There was a time I thought I just had to have every one of David Lynch's films and some of his older works is really difficult to locate. Kim's video was the only place that I could purchase Eraserhea...

my favorite video & music store by s. m. at InsiderPages

Good selection manned by arrogant, artsy, video-snobs by kimberly B. at InsiderPages
