Stardust Video & Coffee is also located in the hipster mecca of Winter Park. It is conveniently located across the street from Park Ave. CDs. Stardust tends to offer a more Bohemian ambiance than Austin's Coffee and the selection isn't as good. However, Stardust prides itself in its massive indie film collection. When I was in high school I used to come here to find rare films. They had an impressive collection of B-Movies, Foreign, Indie, Documentary and Cult films (except someone never returned the VHS copy of The Holy Mountain). The entire collection was easily organized by genre and even director. So if one wanted to view the entire Todd Solondz catalog it was organized in such a way. That was then. On a recent trip to Stardust I found quite the surprise. There is an empty space where the movie collection used to stand. It seems the space is now used for lounging and listening to pretentious music. The collection now hangs on one wall; an amalgamation of no more than fifty films.
