The local video store had better memories. Free popcorn, old movies got moved to the basement so they had this huge selection. Critters is still one of my favourites from what I discovered down there.
Blockbuster days were fine too. I was around 16 and was friends with the manager. We had gone to the same high school, he was that cool slightly older dude you looked up to. We always would shoot shit about movies and he would have recommendations.
My family must have spent a lot on rentals. But we didnt go to theatres very often so trade off I guess. At least the library was free lol. I borrowed the animated Hobbit movie so many times Im surprised the tape didnt get damaged at some point.
