Any good VHS movies to rent tonight at Blockbuster?

[Deleted User]

Better yet would be to get a VHS to DVD recorder, and bunch blank dvd's....

I used to do two VHS' one with the original movie or whatever the other a blank tape recording it.

One time me and my cousin saw this cover and of course, we had to rent it

It's a classic we still talk about it today

Haahh, Shakes!! I love this movie.. One of Bobcat's early works! Damn he's a good comic!

One of my favs, stupid silly comedy, but a classic. Even has one of the Beatles in it!

IMO the video game industry wouldn't be near as big today if not for the ability to rent games in the 80's and 90's.

Yep when I was a kid, it was a friday night tradition. Parents would rent a few movies, and I would rent a game or two. Good times!

I personally miss things like blockbuster. netflix may be convenient, but quite frankly it's just another reason people are becoming so isolated, never leaving home for anything. I think it's destroying the family unit tbh, because everyone is off doing their own thing.

A what at what?

Oh damn, Scott never knew. Blockbuster was a video rental store. I think the final one closed before they was born. You could rent vhs and dvd there. You could also rent video games. They were quite popular. At the time, Netflix was a service that would mail you dvds. GameFly and RedOctane were services that mailed you video games. Blockbuster and Hollywood video couldn’t compete with. I think I have a blockbuster card somewhere in our garage. You had to be a member to rent there. It was like a library card. WAIT! DO THEY EVEN HAVE LIBRARY CARDS NOW??

supposedly blockbuster had the opportunity to buy netflix for like 30 million dollars before it got big. possibly the biggest mistake that company ever made.

Believe it or not there is one still open to this day, there were two but I think the other shut down in 2020.

Being GenZ is no excuse. I'm sixteen years old and I used to watch a VHS of Toy Story at my grandma's all the time when I was five.

Then again, you're younger than me.

If you like nostalgia that's fine by me, it's just that I don't like people when they shame others for not knowing something or complaining about today's generation.
"back in my day vhs' where the best, how did you not know thing existed?!?!, kids nowadays are so spoiled!" etc.
