Video-Rental Store

Readers' Pick: BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO

Multiple locations
Selection has to be the biggest perk at these video stores. Their well-stocked shelves of new releases means not going home empty-handed even on Friday and Saturday nights. Most of the tapes don't have to be returned for five days, so there's plenty of time to finish watching epics such as "Titanic" and crow around the house, "I'm king of the world!" Hollywood Video was the star of second place.

Our Pick: HOLLYWOOD VIDEO

Multiple locations
Just about any video buff can find something to take home at these chain stores. In addition to a solid selection of new releases, they offer choices in classic and foreign films. There are DVDs available, video games, even books on tape. Customers are given five days to view their favorite films so, again, there's no rush.
