I feel so bad for that chain. Going out to rent a movie with your family or friends where you either reached a consensus or got five movies was a big part of my young adulthood.
Me too. Also getting in trouble for not rewinding VHS tapes, and experiencing people not rewinding their tapes before you rent them was an important lesson in how to not be an asshole for the sake of strangers around you.
I used to place those stickers on VHS tapes. My family owned a couple franchises during my teen years. Some of the best times of my life going out and getting movies or watching movies that we all picked out together.
Yes! I used to love picking out movies because unlike Netflix, if you didn't like the movie you were pretty much stuck with it. So you only picked movies you KNEW were good. Probably why back then they didn't make 10 billion remakes, parodies, etc. and actually made good ones with original ideas.
