Checked whether they would pass the torture test - the Passenger, and they list it in their inventory.Good sign. Are they any close to you?
Follow Ups:
Checked Americain Video. None of its stores is near me.Best Video is a possibility, although I fear my wife would kick my ass when she discovered that I paid nearly $20 for one 3 day rental. ;-)
A friend also told me about Netflix, but after doing a search here and reading some of the discouraging comments about them, I decided to skip joining.
Actually, I have done what you suggest and visited each store in my yellow pages that wasn't a giant video chain. Ironically, after I posted my note yesterday, I was mentioning my woes to a coworker and he alerted me to "The Freak Shack" located about 6 miles from my house. I paid a visit last night, and although they had some unique stuff, they were about 1/5 the size of my current indie store, so everything they had that I was interested in... I had rented already from my current store.
One thing I haven't done, yet, is to make a list from all the recs I've kept track from this board and take it to Tom (my current store) and have him run through the list to see what he has. In the past, I just asked about 1 or 2 films going on memory.
The Passenger, eh? Checked the archives for your comments and also imdb.com. Sounds very interesting. I'll see if Tom or Freak Shack have it.
Rented "Cement Garden" from the FS last night. Weird...but thought provoking.
Stay tuned and THANKS!

Anoter interesting option is buying used tapes on Amazon. Just a few days ago someone was looking for a rather obscure film, and we could not find it anywhere, and my store didn't have it either.So I checked the Amazon and there it was, the used tape for just $9.99. That's much less than the rental from the bestvideo, and might be just another valuable alternative allowing you to build a nice library.
