Do you remember the last movie you rented from Blockbuster?

I drove by a Blockbuster in 2012, went in and found Star Trek: First Contact. That was the last movie I ever physically rented.

I believe Aliens, although that could have been Movie Gallery.
For sure, the last thing I rented was the Batman Begins video game for XBox back in 2005.

I stopped renting but started buying their discounted movies with my old roommate for years. No idea what the last video I rented was.
When I did rent I rented from a place called Showbiz Video on Burbank in Baton Rouge. Rarely rented from Blockbuster.

Not sure of title. It was some Alysa Milano movie from the mid-90s where I wanted to see the boobies. This was before we got the internet at our house.
I was never a movie guy growing up. By the time I got into watching movies, steaming and Redbox were things

I remember doing well at a Hollywood Video liquidation sale. I have a lot of DVDs from there.

Damn. It would have been around 2006ish.
I don't remember the movie but I do know that was when they were doing their whole "NO LATE FEES!" push and then when I got hit with a massive late free (I guess it was a new release) and switched completely to Netflix.
This memory does kinda make me miss getting the actual physical DVDs in the mail from Netflix. Plus the ritual of arranging your DVDs in order. And then getting that surprise new release that you didn't think you would get for several weeks. Simpler times...

I have no idea what the last movie I rented was, but I know the last time I rented from one was at the old north gate Blockbuster my sophomore year at LSU, back when the act was "Blockbuster & chill."

I have no clue about blockbuster. When I was in college me and my buddies started watching LOST since we'd heard good things so we rented the DVDs from a local video store until we got caught up to the current season. This woudl have probably been around 2007.

we literally hit up BB every single week. I blame my old roommate for my movie-buying addiction.
IIRC they had deals and movies were like $6.99, $9.99, and $11.99. And they always ran deals like "buy three get one free" or better. We racked up.

Circa 2007 a buddy of mine and I rented Mr. Brooks. He had just been to a wedding the weekend before and the reception was at one of the locations they used for filming and when he found that out we decided to watch it. That's the last Blockbuster rental that comes to mind anyway
