Casino Royal was the last movie I remember. The last memory I have was renting Gears of War 2 and the clerk removing the disc and shoving it in my face and saying no scratches. I guess implying it better not come back scratched up or something. It was awkward.

I don't remember the last movie I rented from a Blockbuster, but I do still have my card.

No idea on rental, but I know during our local one's going out of business sale, I bought a few. Pretty sure I got There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men for like $4 a piece.

Not sure of the movie, but I remember the circumstance. I worked at a bank branch where only the drive through was open on Saturday. We'd have a teller run the drive through, and a banking officer just sitting there doing nothing unless a problem came up.

So I would watch movies on my laptop.

Before Blockbuster bit the bullet, someone had given me a $5 gift card for Christmas. I went to the Blockbuster on Vets near Bonnabel. When I tried to use the gift card to rent a movie, I was told that they were no longer accepting gift cards. They started closing their stores a month later.

I don't still have a Blockbuster card, but I used to mange one back in the day, and I still remember my employee number (which also acted as an account number even after I quit.)

Pretty sure it was one of the Saw movies but I don’t remember which one it was. Either 2 or 3

Not Blockbuster, but before the video store in my town closed the last movie I rented there was Ironman.

May 21, 2011. If you remember Harold Camping predicted the rapture would take place they night so my roommate and I thought it would be fun to get drunk and watch Left Behind and make fun of how terrible that movie is. Pretty sure he forgot to take it back for a while and had a late fee on his account when they went out of business

The Core. It kicked arse.
Was basically Armageddon but in the opposite direction.

Not sure. But it was in st Augustine when I was dating my now wife of almost 14 years around 2005.

I know we rented eternal sunshine of the spotless mind near the end.
