Where is a good place to buy DVDs of 80s movies
as in today, not online?

Near(ish) me there is: Tesco, Borders, Fopp, and probably some shitty chav place that used to be Virgin before going bust 4 times. All require some effort so I can't just go browsing. I'm on a deadline.

I am particularly looking for John Hughes movies. Today. Such urgency.

I always found Fopp
to have a good range and obscure films. Can you not get their phone number and give them a quick ring before you go in?

That's why you are a genius, missus!
This I'll do.

I'm pretty sure Fopp went bankrupt a while ago

Ignorning Al but hearing someone else say
something about Fopp.

They were bought by various people, ours is now called Head, which makes me laugh

Have you got
one of these near you?
www.cex.co.uk/stores/
they normally have all sorts of weird and oldschool stuff in, usually for about £3.

Too late!
I got 8 DVDs for £30 from Fopp and Borders. You're right about 20th Century Flicks or whatever it's called though. I'd forgotten about that. It's been a long time since I lived in Clifton.
