The Video Underground

1. The Video Underground

4.5 star rating
37 reviews

Category: Videos and Video Game Rental, Music & DVD's

Underground video is great. They have all your favorite John Candy films, from Uncle Buck to Planes Trains and Automobiles. The girl Alex who works there is John Candy's niece, and is a walking encyclopedia of JC trivia. All in all, a great video store.
