Bette’s Flicks, formerly Video Droid, is a DVD/Blu-Ray rental store with a wide selection of current and classic favorites. Not only are we cheaper than on-demand, but we also receive new titles a month before Netflix. Our small staff is friendly, knowledgeable and open for giving movie suggestions. We are just about the LAST video store in Marin, so you won’t find a better place for both new and old film releases!

Please Note: If you have any urgent questions regarding movie reservations or what movies are currently in stock, it is best to call us directly at 415-924-2679 to ensure a prompt response. We do not have an answering machine, so if we do not pick up, we are either not available or it is before/after we’ve closed.

Regarding our closing times: Google has our closing time listed as 10:00pm every night, but we close at 9:00pm Sunday through Thursdays. We’re sorry for any inconvenience.

What our customers say about Bette’s Ficks:

“Bette is always up on the movies and can direct you to the type you may enjoy. I always leave extra time when I go there to chat with her and Keith, her son. They have a large section of Black & White’s 1940’s Noir (ask Keith). Bette & the friendly staff really know their movies. They are very helpful and there is a great selection. Stop in!” – Carmen Jones

“I was not a renter of videos until I serendipitously found this marvelous, fun store with personality.  The complete antithesis of a Big Box.  Love it. It seems as though  Bette knows every movie ever made and always has great suggestions that fit what I like…or something for my grandkids to watch or…for whatever purpose.  Now I rent videos.” – Lee L.

“There is something to be said about being able to browse and instantly get the movie you’re in the mood for, as opposed to waiting a couple days for it to come via netflix.
The selection is my favorite, I’ve discovered many british series through them, and there are a lot of weird movies I hadn’t even heard of before like Darkman and Old Boy. It’s also nice having the store’s owner running the shop almost every day.”  – Katsu T.

“Love this place. Bette’s a big fan of British film and TV – whether contemporary or from the past.  Huge selection.  Our kid loves picking out family movies – it’s a treat for him that’s so much better than going through the clunky Comcast TV menus…
Also, the staff are really flexible on pricing – they knock down late fees to near nothing.” – Pete B.

“This place is a little like a great bookstore. The have incredible customer service. If you want old movies, this is the place. Bette’s is small, but they have great movies and go out of their way to help you.” – Alex S.

“I love this store. They have great suggestions in U.S. current and foreign current. I have seen many unusual films that I would not have know about, thanks to a great staff.” – Susan K.

    Do you have Drop the Dead Donkey? it’s a British comedy series from the 1990s. Got a BAFTA and great reviews. About a Rupert Murdoch-like character.

  6. bettesflicks says:

    Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately we don’t have that one, a lot of our British series are more recent titles from the 00’s and up. That’s not to say we don’t have some British series from the 90’s though.
