Absolutely awesome! We walked in, and the guy asked us if it was our first time. We said yes. He responded, «These are Hollywood movies» (motioning to a small selection of DVDs) «and this is porn» (motioning to the other two acres of the store). He even helped us try to find an old poster to use as wrapping paper for our friend’s birthday porn. Perfect!

Hell yeah!
Read the directions on renting a movie and you will be rewarded as I was. 2 clerks standing there working said:
«Is this your first time here?»
«Yup»
“At least you read the directions we have posted”
«Yes I did. (with credit card ready)»
Your first movie is on the house!
Fantastic!
So I watched G.I.Joe for free! Returned it before 11pm the next day. Otherwise it would’ve been $ 3.50. They have later releases for $ 1. Awesome selection of titles. Funny how the movies rated G-​R occupy 1⁄6 of the store and the 5⁄6 of the store is all porn and porn goods! LOL.
Another thing: when the clerk went to get the movie, he checked the box before giving it to me and inside was a porn movie. Whoops! SO he got another box and G.I.Joe was in there. That means some person thought they got a porno and instead got G.I.Joe! Hahahahahahahhahahahahah! That didn’t come in handy! LOL

Usually when you go into a store right before closing the people working are rude or at the least give you the stink eye. That is sooo not the case here. We entered and the guys were SUPER nice, helpful and funny. They were so nice in fact that we’re going to go here from now on rather than the other nob hill spots. They have a lot of new releases, and are open late, and if your into movies of a different sort (xxx) we were surprised to see the insane selection they carried… overall GREAT place

So excited to see… «Dollar a day» movies?! That’s practically free!
It’s a sunday night during a rainy down pour… this calls for some movies, maybe I’ll rent three… maybe more!
Once inside I turn a bright color of red. Lots of unfamiliar looking movies… and toys to take to bed.
Friendly staff did the math and pointed me past the large collection of videos on the XXX path.
I’m not tryin’ to be mean… porn just isn’t my scene. I tend to go for movies that are mainstream.
A seperate room had a few normal videos to view and I quickly decided on renting two.
With no other locals in line, I was out in no time and thankful to the helpful staff at Frontlyne.
From the outside it seems that this is the cheap movie store of your dreams.
But now you’ll know before you go — that here you’ll find more than a little peep show. :0!!!

This video store has a split personality as it rents a few not so new normal hollywood movies and a whole lot of triple X movies. At $ 1 per movie (the single X ones), it could easily make its way tru Broke-​Ass Stuart guide to cheap SF, but know that while you’re looking for the latest blockbuster that hit the shelves, several older dudes are searching for movies like ‘Dumb Blond Twins With Deep Throats’, or ‘Dude, That’s My Mom!’. So yeah, it can be uncomfortable.: /​Unless XXX is what you’re looking for.

Frontlyne is a good store to rent porn for cheap. where else could you get porn for no less than $ 4 a day at the most? Freindly staff but needs work on getting more updated selection of titles.

Frontlyne is a hilarious store.
I was excited to see a non-​Blockbuster movie shop in my neighborhood. From the outside it looks like a regular ol’ mom and pop video store with posters of the latest new releases posted on the front window.
You walk in, and there’s a single shelf of mainstream movies and then the rest of the store is hardcore pornography. There’s even a «rubber goods» section in the back.
I laughed and asked the woman at the counter where the rest of the regular videos were. She said «they’re all pretty regular to me, honey».
