Movie Madness Video is a nonprofit video rental shop and museum of film history in Portland, Oregon's Sunnyside neighborhood, in the United States.[1][2][3][4]

## History

[edit]

The store was opened by Hollywood film editor Mike Clark in 1991.[5]

In October 2017, Hollywood Theatre launched a Kickstarter campaign to purchase and preserve the store.[6][7][8] The theatre acquired ownership in 2018 and Movie Madness is slated to be relocated across the street from Hollywood Theatre.[9]
