Need a movie fix, but you're over The Grove? Stay in for a flick instead—after a trip to Rocket, that is. The store is well-known for a great stock of indies, so if you can't find something you want to see, then slap yourself, or have a member of the helpful staff do it for you.

Membership is $30 for one year or $60 for life. It's not necessary for renting (you can set up an account for free), but frequent visitors will find the membership pays off: rental prices drop from $3.52 to $2.44, everything's 2-for-1 on Tuesday and Thursdays, and holding privileges are instated. Members and non-members alike can also invest in bulk coupons to lower prices.—Lonny Pugh
