Be Kind. Rewind.  

It really was something kinda special! Movie rental places were so fun!

The best experience of our lives. Simpler times before social media.

I wish kids nowadays could experience that. The hours you could spend just trying to figure out what you want to watch. Then trying to rewind it and then it messes up so you have to use your fingers to get it to work again. The memories of it will always be there

I remember those days..... Lady You are So Beautiful ❤🌹

I miss video rental stores

One Blockbuster left in the whole world.

grew up in early 2k, the best friday nights were indeed walking into blockbuster

Also don't forget Hollywood videos and game crazy! Both are unforgettable experiences in their own right! ❤

Oh my gosh! A clearly Canadian! I used to love drinking those when i was younger!!!

Yesss!! Roaming the aisles, picking a bunch, and then whittling them down. Meeting other regulars. The "adult" section in the back.... Miss that experience.

early 2000s babies also had this experience. holds a special place in my heart

I love that top!!! Reminds me of my old fuzzy blacklight posters! 🤗

That shirt! Love it!

When the new release was in stock, a new level of happy was reached

Some of my fondest memories 😭♥️

Gosh, it's like yesterday I went out with my mom after school and went to blockbuster to get videos and games. Those were the days. When I see this stuff, I feel like a care free kid again! Thank you for this content!

I miss blockbuster. It was always an outing after school on Friday’s or on a Saturday with our Dad or Grandmother. My Grandmother’s first language wasn’t English, so my sister and I got away with renting Chucky and other films we shouldn’t have been watching and if the cover looked innocent enough she didn’t know. Sweet beautiful soul lol ❤❤❤

I hate that we can't do this anymore. I wish they would come back it was so much better then what we have now.

Friday night’s were so cool because we had the weekend ahead and we rented 2 or 3 movies, judging just by watching the cover. Next door we had a TCBY ice cream store.

The only benefit to the digital experience when it comes to movies now through the internet is you never have to worry about the digital file running out of copies. But everything else about the experience of going to get a movie in a video game that you were going to play for the weekend is something you're never going to get back again

This was better than going to the toy store!

Bro we gotta go back in time

Man, this one got me. We'd rent a single player game and a multiplayer game. Me and my brothers would take turns trying to finish the single player game before we had to return it and when friends would ride their bikes over, we played the multiplayer games. I didn't have many good memories from my childhood, but this one I hold near and dear to my heart.

Why did this make me tear up

I miss blockbusters

Dude that shirt is 🔥

Roller rink was the place on a Friday night in jersey as a kid. Or a bowling alley

Blockbuster, Pizza hut, Snacks from the gas station and Nintendo games. The perfect Friday and Saturday night.

I miss it... a lot

There was a movie rental place near my house called sunrise movie rental and it had a cat that lived in the store ❤❤❤

I remember needing to get my movie approved before my parents allowed it in the pile. 😅

The Clearly Canadian!

I think that's what has changed. Not many reasons or places to go as a family. Most people are glued to their cellphone screen

Its funny that you showed pizza hut for the pizza because where i grew up the block buster was right beside the pizza hut. We would order pur pizza and go next door to blockbuster and rent our movies or if i was lucky i could rent pokemon and a gameboy colour

It was called family time, and damn I miss it

We never had the money for the pizza part. But I'm not going to lie I was one of those kids that ended stealing games. Suikoden 2 was by best grab.

Except when your dad took you there too late and all the new releases were fine and your had to go through all the other isles trying to find something to watch. There was no way you’d go back empty handed.

I go to the one in bend

A block buster rental a larger pep pizza and a 2 liter coke please someone build a friggin Time Machine already

Don't forget about harassing the clerk to see if Titanic was still on hold!

Wait your forgetting about Kmart or caldors. Going to Kmart or caldors before blockbuster to get whatever you needed for the sleepover at a friends house and staying up until like 10 or 11 pm and watching movies or playing video games with your friends and everybody had their own sleeping bags and pillows was the best time on the weekends

Yo and there was also toys for the new like anime and cartoons that's what I look forward to

Yeah i bet you blockbuster really wishes they had bought up netflix for 50M when the offer was made in 2000!

Streaming services and ordering Uber Eats sounds boring. Blockbuster should still be around today :'(

Hollywood Video

You know I was definitely born in the wrong generation because I love old technology and things and hate new things( or just don’t really like them) except for my iPad 8th generation because I got that for my birthday

Until Enron fucked everything up lol

I think you should change the angle of your camera 🤔.

I like when Hollywood Video came in. They seemed to be more on point. Larger selection. And they had a Gane Crazy then GameStop in store.
