Movies to GoGo was a DVD Delivery business in Brighton – launched before the likes of LoveFilm! The collection was more Indie Film Club than BlockBuster, and had a fantastic membership… To join, you were encouraged to get a bit ‘noir-ish’, slide into the slighty sleazy GoGo club with an invite from The Maverick, to meet The Scrutineer and be led into the GoGo World. Films were categorised within The Street, which was made up of a variety of rather interesting ‘places’. But, even though GoGo delivered within half an hour (just like pizza), unfortunately, the little independent was squeezed out of the frame in 2006…
The email that launched the site:
Sent out before the allotted Opening Time. Subject: Movies to GoGo – Brighton’s film delivery service…
The Maverick hit town recently… with a boot full of DVDs; some rare stuff, lots of interesting titles, the sort that you couldn’t find in those mainstream dives, no matter how hard you poked around!
– we talked… infact, we struck up a deal.
“Yeh”, I said, reaching for the Scotch “You can keep your films at my Club… but all business has to be legit and Patrons will have to become Club members, Oh, and no underage punks – that clear?”
He studied me carefully, with sharp blue eyes.
“Let’s get this straight” he scowled, “When they visit the Club, they choose what they wanna watch, they make an order, and I deliver to their door – And I deliver it then, later, or whenever they Goddamn choose, OK?”
“OK, babe!” I responded, taken aback by his attitude…
The fella puzzled me. We arranged to open the Club at midday. Here’s the address… MoviestoGoGo

Before entering The Street, you’d have to seek membership at Club GoGo
