Horkley's Movie Rentals, Massive Soda, and Snacks

For the best overall movie-renting experience, Horkley's is by far the best deal. Not only are the movies cheap ($), but you can one-stop-shop and buy snacks while you're there.

Of course, we couldn't talk about Horkley's without mentioning its trademark... a behemoth of a drink: a 44 oz cup for 75 cents. Be sure to keep the cup, because refills (normally 60 cents) are only 35 cents on "Thirsty Thursday!"

In comparison, Netflix does gives you a lot of bang for your buck (There's a link to it up at the top). Not only do you stream movies over the internet, but you get all the DVDs you want with no late fees (your plan determines how many dvds you have out at a time.)

RedBox (found at Broulim's, Walgreens, and Wal-Mart, and also linked to at the top) is the cheapest movie rental service (if you only take DVDs into account), but sometimes you need more than a disc. So if Netflix's monthly subscription turns you away and Redbox just doesn't cover what you need, it's good to know you still have some options in town.

Movies, snacks, drinks… all you need are some friends to share it with. How do you decide who to invite to your movie parties? Where do you usually hold them? Your place? a friend's? Or somewhere else? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments section.
