Family video or Blockbuster? Looks like Family Video.

I always thought Blockbuster was the best thing around, and would never go away.

Thought the same about CD's as well.

Our three kids were born in ‘96, ‘98 and ‘01. They have very fond memories of going to Blockbuster on Friday nights or Saturday afternoons when they were little.

I thought family night was walking thru the adults only section. No kids at that time pedo.

 

[The Tradition]

Yup. Go to the video store and pick out a movie, then drive by the pizza shop for a pie, and then family night.

Eeeh The 80's were better. We were poor so we had to rent a VCR from Video Update. It came in this giant cushioned bag. I was always bummed if we got there and all the VCR's were rented out. I loved the smell of the VCR tapes when I would eject them and put the back in the cover.

One time I rented Dark Side of the moon and left it on the counter. I called them when I got home and they said it wasn't there. They charged me $80 for that damn tape.

I worked at the service desk of the grocery store in high school so if there were VCRs left at the end of the night they would let us take them home for free. We just had to return them the next afternoon. We thought that was the greatest thing to ever happen to us. Only rich people had VCRs.

Grew up across the street from a movie store. Started as some silver logo with a star in the early 90s…can’t remember the name before it turned to Video update and lastly Movie Gallery.

I remember waiting at the return bin waiting for the top movies to return.

I didn't have a family...but I usually had beers, a 1/4 gram of weed and enough money for a movie and Little Ceasers pizza.
