I “loaned” my copy of _Female Trouble_ to a friend, and it has vanished into the “loaned to friend” alternate universe. What are the best sites to buy videos? Not so much new movies; but cult, silent, foreign, “off-titles?” ---

This will sound wierd but Ebay has been my favorite place to find the-hard-to-find things. I’ve gotten some very good vhs movies from there… often brand new (even if they were older) and for extremely great prices. I typed in _Female Trouble_ and it came back with 25 items… not all of them the video itself, but just about every kinda memorabilia associated with that name too. Happy hunting. ---

Oooooh, but I hate eBay. _Haaaaaate_ it. What’s the name of that big mail-order video company that has a phonebook-sized catalog? I’m drawing a total blank. ---

Well, there’s [Critics’ Choice Video & DVD](http://ccvideo.com/), and there’s always [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/). I used to use an outfit called Home Film Festival; however, I haven’t used them since they became [Video Library](http://www.vlibrary.com/vlibrary/), so I don’t know how good they are now, but you could check 'em out. ---

OK, I just went nuts . . . Ordered _Female Trouble, The Wild Wild World of Jayne Mansfield, The Dumbest Blonde_ (a Jaynie TV appearance), _Women in Revolt_, and _MST3K_’s Shorts No. 3 collection . . .
