A hilarious cult classic with such a fresh and original plotline, Be Kind Rewind deserves more attention than it has.

Jerry and Mike are two video store workers who make their own homemade renditions of classic films when the VHS tapes go blank. Their DIY movies become a local hit and they run a successful business of cheesy homemade movies, but the clichéd trouble of saving the moving video store runs into the plotline.

Be Kind Rewind is a cult classic and, like I said, has a creative and original plotline for most movies. It seems almost like the basis of a YouTube series, but works its way in well to make a feature length film full of cardboard produced movies on the streets of Harlem. Mos Def and Jack Black are superb in this movie and the acting, writing, and story are all spot on. Definitely check this one out when you can, you won't regret it.
