DVD Rentals in USA
Lot of people ask where i rent my DVD's.Thought i will give some links for getting good DVD's in USA for everyone.
One of the best rental site for USA is http://www.mypicks.us/.The business model is same as netflix.From all the sites i have seen they are the best.Very professional.But their collection right now is not that great.
If you want to select from a huge collection then u have to go to erosentertainment((http://www.erosentertainment.com/eros_us/indexus1024.asp)).U can rent from them also, but they are just pathetic, when it comes to customer service.
This was the conversation between me and the Customer service(rather one telephone operator who takes care of everything at the office).

Telephone operator:No sir, iam not talking about weather here,Iam talking about weather in india.The DVD has to come from there.
Me:WHAT !!!!!!!!
You can buy bengalimovies from http://www.bdbazar.com/nshop/ but this is only for sales.Rent a bangla movie(http://www.rentabanglamovie.com/) is a rental site run by abdul khan.He is an independent guy who does all by himself.Hand Written address, stamped envelopes etc.You can even pay by check AFTER watching the movie.But make sure that the DVD ur renting has subtitles(if you are not a bengali), as many of his movies does not have subtitles.
what else there is always netflix.They do have some good movies.Apu trilogy, vanaprastham,salaam bombay,party,utsaab and quite a few shyam benegal movies.I wrote to them to include govind nihalani,ghatak's and mrinal sen classic.Let's c.
