010207_bats.jpgHappy Bats saved Mount Pleasant from the mind-melting mediocrity that is the corporate behemoth Blockbuster. For years the ubiquitous yellow and blue monster was the only source for rentals, until the winged mammals landed in 2004 armed with Criterion Collection DVDs and the best in independent cinema. A lot of the cozy store is organised by director: Kurosawa, Lynch, Allen, Korine, Von Trier, Malick et al. but they have all the guilty pleasures too, including an 80s section. The bats themselves are happy, and have no desire to suck you dry if you happen to be late, they'll also special order anything your little heart desires.

I second Sean. They have all the movies you want to see that the other guys don't have.
