Long before Netflix and chill.. there was Blockbuster and chill

There was just something about getting that hot date on a friday night while your parents were out of town, and heading down to the local blockbuster to pick out the perfect set of movies for the night.

And for all you small town peeps, we had this instead of blockbuster

Walking into that amazing movie library, you would immediately head to see if that newest release was in stock. You had to make sure you got there before the weekend rush though because everyone was ready for some blockbuster and chill... especially on a rainy weekend.

And you couldnt check out without getting a tub of popcorn, the night was not complete without that tub of buttery awesomeness!

And remember.... Be kind, Please Rewind

pfft
my local movie rental store was inside a gas station and had every B horror movie from the 70s and 80s
it usually got new releases about 2 years after they were released
week long rentals were $1

What will tomorrow's oleyeller retro thread be?
Posted on 2/18/16 at 8:03 am to oleyeller
This wasn't even that long ago. Is it worthy of a nostalgia thread?

Awesome times

Worked at a blockbuster for a while in college. Great times.
Want to know why you never got the new release? All of us employees had them out our houses for our chill sessions after work.

Blockbuster's deal where they sent you a movie in the mail was awesome. I lived in the fraternity house and would get a movie in the mail, then return it to the Blockbuster on State St. and get a free rental. I made the most out of that deal for sure.

We didn't even bother with movies. Long ago, MTV used to play music videos 24hrs per day. The question "Wanna come in a watch videos?" was the secret code back then.

Greatest part of my childhood was on Friday on our way home pulling into the movie rental place(it was literally a 800sqft converted house on Hwy 16) and getting to choose 3 movies and 1 Nintendo game.

I got sick of the rewind fees. Nearly blew up a store over a rewind dispute.

My home town still has a "family video". It's out in the middle of the country. these things still exist in small towns.

Man I miss video rental stores.

But do remember the days of renting the VCR? You had to put down a ridiculous deposit, grab this giant suitcase VCR and rent a few movies or laser discs.

I remember Hollywood

Video USA had a 5 for 5 for 5$ deal where you could rent 5 VHS tapes for 5 days for a fiver. It was sweet. Bonking the gf at her parents house with cheesy old horror flicks to cover the sounds

If you ever scratched up a PlayStation disc or fricked up an N64 cartridge, it was nice to know you could cop the game from Blockbuster and replace the rental with your fricked up copy
This Bud's for you Blockbuster
