There will be no sequel for Kitsap County’s last remaining movie rental shop, no surprise ending or post-credit teaser. It’s impending closure is truly the end of an era.

After more than three decades of business on Bainbridge, Silver Screen Video is now preparing to shutter its doors for good. The stock is being sold off, heavily discounted, as dismayed and somber customers have been saying their goodbyes.

That’s not melodrama, either.

Shop owner Colin Randall said he’s seen more than a few take a sad last look around the place, even as the shelves are picked over by bargain hunters and treasure seekers.

Regulars, Randall said, the die-hard renters who kept the beloved anachronism alive when all others of its ilk fell at the feet of Red Box and digital services, were truly dedicated customers.

“That’s all we have left,” he said. “We lost over 90 percent of our business. Anybody that comes in regularly, one-in-10, pretty much, of our customers are the regular ones and they’re the only ones that have stayed. It’s a small group of people.”

For all movie lovers, though, the shop’s closure may prove an unexpected boon, as its wares are all for sale — DVDs, Blu Rays, shelves, posters and all — until it’s true last day of business on Wednesday, May 31. Randall began selling everything off on the first of the month, and the response has been supportive — if a little melancholic.

“We’ve sold several thousand DVDs already,” he said. “It’s been interesting to see how capable people are at separating the good from the bad. People come up with a stack and everything in it’s fantastic.”

From the Oscar winners section and the BBC offerings as well, Randall said, a multitude of titles have already found new homes. More mainstream fare too, he added, is being safely relocated.

“All the ‘Star Wars’ are gone,” Randall laughed. “Except for ‘Empire Strikes Back.’”

A discerning clientele is, actually, what kept the shop open this long, Randall said. The shop was renowned for its well-curated selection of hard-to-find foreign films, BBC shows and documentaries, all of which proved popular fare on Bainbridge, as well as rotating special sections arranged by interest, including seasonal titles, employee favorites and even memorial sections for recently deceased celebrities like Bill Paxton and John Hurt.

All movies are being discounted 25 percent off the marked price now, and will be 50 percent off starting on Saturday, May 27. There is also a large section of $2 DVDs in the store’s annex section. Hours are noon to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and noon to 9 p.m. Saturday. Call 206-842-0261 for more information.

The shop has had a long, storied history on Bainbridge.

Originally called Viking Video and located on Winslow Way, the store moved to its current location (325 Tormey Lane) in 2014.

Randall, a former staff member, bought the place after it was set to close that year, but an outcry of protest from its fanatic fans forced the previous owner to reconsider. Ultimately, the store stayed open but much of the extra inventory was sold off and the shop was downsized and relocated to the current, and final, location.

That part of the story, however, doesn’t seem quite as well-known: about half the existing customers never came to the new location Randall said. And that wasn’t the last blow dealt Kitsap County’s final video store, either. The hits kept coming, even faster than the new boss expected.

Randall had always intended to close the shop, he said, but his expected timeline quickened after first, the Kitsap Regional Library, who had long purchased in bulk used copies of new releases from the shop for distribution to all the county’s branches, suddenly canceled their contract, and then his landlord doubled the rent.

“When I got the place I was planning on closing it — which is an unusual thing, to acquire a business that you plan on closing,” Randall said. “Having that in mind made this easier, both emotionally and sort of logistically.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”

His landlord informed Randall that the shop and its annex are eventually to be turned into residential units.

Randall, too, is set to depart Bainbridge shortly after the closing of his shop, riding into the sunset bound for his next great adventure like the hero in so many of the films that once graced his store’s shelves. The final owner of Silver Screen Video is moving to Hood River, Oregon, and is getting married. Ask him what’s next work-wise, and all he can tell you is what’s definitely not.

“We will not be doing movie rentals in Hood River; they’ve got three Red Boxes,” he said. “I’m sure that satisfies 95 percent of the demands.”

If there were to be a film about the triumphs and trials of Kitsap County’s last remaining movie rental shop, Randall said he would want Wes Anderson (he of “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums” fame) to direct.
