End of an Era

Topic: Film & TV | Indianapolis Living

Posted: Wed, Dec 29, 2004

I received some sad news yesterday: the Video Vault is going out of business. This independently-owned video store had the best selection of old, foreign, and art-house movies in Indianapolis. The Lutz family owned this business for more than 19 years, and are finally unable to compete with the likes of BlockBastard, WalMart, and NetFlix.

I stopped by the Vault yesterday to pay my late fees (!) and picked up some of their stock, which they're selling off. I got the following, and promised Matt Lutz I would give them good homes:

Rope (1948)
Psycho (1961)
Marnie (1964)
Torn Curtain (1966)
Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
Funny Girl (1968)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
M*A*S*H (1970)
Gandhi (1982)
The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
Aladdin (1992)
Leon (The Professional) (1994)
Babe (1995)
Mrs. Brown (1997)
Living Out Loud (1998)
An Ideal Husband (1999)
Enigma (2001)
Hero (2002, released in US in 2004)

I'm very bummed about this closure. Not only do I prefer to support an independently-owned video store, but these are really nice people.
