[A part of Video Stores in Films tribute.]
Video Connections is more like a shelter than a job for Scotty Pelk (Melik Malkasian). Unfortunately, his passion about films is the reason for his bosses to consider him an ineffective employee and, finally, fire him. While we watching him at work, many films are also visible.

David Dobkin’s Shangai Knights (2003).
Joel & Ethan Coen’s O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris (2002), Wes Anderson’s Rushmore (1998).
John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982).
Renny Harlin’s Cliffhanger (1993).
