Our History......

 

 

 After spending many years working in Los Angeles, first as a

film editor and later as a post production supervisor for MGM

and Warner Bros. Portland native Mike Clark decided it was

time to move back home and try to fulfill his dream of creating

a one kind video store.

 

 

 On April 12, 1991 with only 2000 titles Mike opened the doors to

Movie Madness for the first time. When he first opened, the store

was only 800 square feet and Mike was the only employee. The

first few years were tough but with the exceptional public

support for his rare and hard to find films Mike knew he was

on to something.

 

 

  As the store grew Mike continued to acquire the rare and

 obscure films wherever he could find them as well as all

 the latest theatrical releases. Then in 1995 Mike was given

 the opportunity to purchase a dress worn by Diane Keaton

 in the classic film "Godfather II". and "The Museum Of Motion

 Picture History" was born. Many more costumes and props

 followed and Mike now has over 100 pieces in his ever

 growing collection.

 

 

  In the fall of 2007, over 16 years after he first opened his doors

 Mike put the finishing touches on his dream, with the opening

 of our newly remodeled store. Movie Madness now has over

 70,000 titles packed into 6000 square feet of floor space. So if

 you've never been to Movie Madness or if you haven't been in

 recently you really have to come down and see our store.

 We think it's more than just a video store, it's an experience

 unlike any other.

 

 

 We at Movie Madness would like to

take this opportunity to thank each

and every one of our customers for

helping Mike realize his dream.
