Baltimore's volunteer-run video library—basically, an old-school video-rental store, with a non-profit twist. We offer 40,000+ titles on the blu-ray, DVD, 4K UHD, and VHS formats.

Location: 2545 N. Howard St.
Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 3-9pm.
dat’s right.

and dat number makes us officially the largest-ever video-rental collection in Baltimore! (the late, great Video Americain reported owning in the 30,000s as it closed).

Thanks to everyone who’s helped us grow to thisamazing size from our humble beginnings with ~8900 titles in 2018!

Presenting BEYOND VIDEO’s ALL-TIME TOP-RENTING TITLES! We opened our doors 6 years ago; here are the 250+ titles you’ve taken home the most.

It’s so inspiring to see what people choose to rent when everything’s under one roof (rather than finding out if they’re streaming on GooblooPlus or Meepmox).

Hi Bluesky! We're Beyond Video, a non-profit video-rental library in Bmore run entirely by film-loving volunteers. We've crowdsourced 37,000+ films on DVD, blu, VHS, and 4K one title at a time.

Got a disc (or 10) to send our way this holiday season? Our wish lists are here: beyondvideo.org/donate/

At the hilarious time of 4:20 Eastern on this day, Beyond Video passed 100,000 rentals with a 3-disc loan.

Sadly, none were Half-Baked, Harold and Kumar, or Cheech and Chong-related.

All the same, thanks to everyone who chose physical media over streaming even one of those 100,000 times.

This number is a landmark for us. We opened in 2018 with a modest collection of 8900 items. As of today, our collection is officially 4 times as large as it was the day we opened.

Thanks to everyone who's helped us not only grow but thrive over the years!

For fellow watchers of The Curse: it’s probably not entirely irrelevant that IRL Benny Safdie’s great-uncle Moshe Safdie designed (and resided within) Montreal’s iconic brutalist apartment building Habitat 67

Hitting up Vinegar Syndrome's Black Friday sale? Why not tag on a blu-ray for Bmore's non-profit video library?

Whether your taste runs to Killer Condom or Ninja in the Claws of the CIA, our cult section's future is in your grimy hands!
