I miss video stores when on Friday night you'd go with friends or family trying to find the perfect movie for everybody to watch. Taking turns choosing movies "okay this week it's my turn to choose the movie". The same thing happens now with streaming but it's not as fun to me as physically going into the video store to rent.

[@Anarchist86ed]

As I read your comment I can see out my window a family video with garbage bins outside of it and a property for sale sign. It's officially over for video rental stores.

[@olympian3]

For whatever reason, a movie felt more meaningful or valuable back then. I feel like back then it was because sometimes we had fewer connections to the outside world, so having a new movie every weekend was such a novel, fun thing. At least it was for me as a kid, especially in the summers when I would go on summer vacation to a place which didn't have television or radio, but there were movies for rent.
