I certainly agree we've been better served in the UK in the past, but things have been going downhill for a while, I think we have been particularly lucky here because the managers used to have a say in their stock and because of the high student population World Cinema was pretty much guaranteed to rent well.

Now the managers have little or no say, the students (and me) are well served for older films but lacking on newer releases. All decisions are made by desk jockey's who would not recognise a good foreign film if it smacked them in the face, all they care about is money, money and more money.

In the end I'll be driven to on-line rental but certainly not with either Blockbuster or Choices.

Cheers Trev.
