I worked at 7-24 Videos & More, in Parkdale. I loved recommending, discussing, and debating films with customers. Then I discovered the amazing DVD collection at the Toronto Public Library.
In addition to DVDs, you can also stream films using Kanopy and Hoopla. Remember when you’d hold up a DVD case and ask, “How’s this?” In the spirit of an opinionated video store clerk, here are our answers.

CREEM: AMERICA'S ONLY ROCK 'N' ROLL MAGAZINE
From an underground newspaper to an influential magazine, second only to Rolling Stone, this doc chronicles the rise and demise of Creem. It was interesting to learn about the magazine we were familiar with but too young to enjoy. Long live rock n roll!
DEEP IN THE HEART
Also titled Handgun, this 1983 revenge-film deals with sexual violence and its aftermath. What sets it apart is the feminist lens. Karen Young gives a stellar performance. It deserves to be more widely known.
WALKABOUT
A 1971 survival film. A brother and sister get abandoned in the Australian outback and rely on an Aboriginal youth to help them survive. A brilliant, heartbreaking allegory for the exploitation of colonialism.
EDDINGTON
If this is the type of art being made after Covid, we are never going to heal. What starts out as an interesting commentary ends up an ultra-violent mess. Maybe there is a point, but we didn’t want to spend any more time exploring it.
