Hi there: Can anyone recommend a source that publishes cumulative Top DVD Rentals lists?
The only online source I found is IMDB's - which includes the information but isn't cumulative, and is viewable only week by week, back to 1998. Box Office Mojo didn't seem to have what I wanted either. A faculty member is looking for a cumulative measure of popularity. I've referred him to a good Box Office list, but he would like more than ticket sales. He is also interested in Variety's "All-Time Film Rental Champs" lists, but it appears that the term "film rental" in this case refers to the cost exhibitors pay to rent films from distributors, not video rental. Aside from that, does anyone know if these lists are still published? Any help would be most appreciated. And Happy New Year!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
