20th Century Flicks

About

A video shop for the ages, owned and run by a small but astute band of film fanatics, complete with a small cinema you can hire to watch movies in.

Story

Well, I'm David Taylor, a white male with scruffy hair and a particular fondness for American independent cinema from the 90s. I also have an alarming ability to recall film index numbers without referring to the computer; information which has presumably replaced important memories from my childhood.

Then there's David White. He's an 80s Hollywood cinema expert with a closely-groomed head and glasses. Him and his ladyfriend have just created their first child. He also has a passion for classic British horror and 80s coming-of-age dramas.

We're not all called Dave. Adam Hart is an itinerant hobo who has nonetheless managed to remain in orbit of the video shop the past two decades. He has little time for Hollywood, preferring tales of underdogs from far-away places. He is also our main reviewer and his dry summations are often key deciders in what our customers end up taking home.

Rob Browne is the longest serving member of staff. He started when it opened and though he now has a proper job as a teaching assistant in a local school, he remains a valued part-time fixture behind the counter. His film tastes range from 'Anything With Kate Beckinsale In' all the way to 'Anything With Julianne Moore In'.
