Big Daddy's DVD Shop has décor comprised of retro robots and vintage projectors. The Junction's leading rental joint is a charmingly compact bastion of film geek chic. Big Daddy's library is premised on a curatorial, rather than all-consuming, approach, and features what feels like a handpicked selection of documentaries, indie gems, foreign flicks, and Hollywood classics. To get the most bang for your mid-week buck, visit on Tuesday or Wednesday and enjoy two films for the price of one.
