Ahh the good old video store were you went direct to the horror movie section and choose the movie only by looking at the cover

[@jrodtopo]

Best cover I never watched: Uncle Sam wants you DEAD!

[@spudbudmorgan]

This nourishes me. Great idea executed well, well done :D

[@kristopherpistole]

Weird how many are from the 2000's. I wonder if it's because filmmakers making movies then were wanting to set scenes in their favorite place.

[@LPTV84]

It could be because, kids in the 80s grew up when these were new, worked in video stores in the 80s and 90s, and when they grew up by the 00s and 2010s, they became professional artists, and they decided to make stories in these places because they imagined stories happening in these places.

[@donmchoull]

Video stores were still fairly common in the 2000s, Blockbuster still had 4,000 stores in the United States at the start of 2010. But I'm sure you're right that some of it is people who had grown up with video stores or worked in video stores were making movies by that point

[@Badusername2000]

i went to the video store a lot as a kid in the 2000s, we went until redbox became a thing, and then we got netflix

[@KevKlopper]

I feel the 2000s movies were very self aware and reflecting on society maybe that played a role.

[@Danbo22987]

DVD’s we’re huge then

[@synthnation9857]

dude this video is like a treasure tomb to me! damn I wish I was grew up with video stores like this. it's so nice to see a tribute to this specific place that create a lot of good memories to people. (I just wish I had the chance to visit a place like this at least once tho)

[@iNCoMpeTeNtplAyS]

As with anything nostalgic, you dont. Either the movie you wanted wasn't there, the blurb in the back was a lie, or even worse:they were closed.

[@handsomeDRAC]

Sometimes, you got judged for some of the movie choices you make by the clerks. That's real.

[@bravozero6]

Its suffocating how souless times are now compared to the early 2000s and late 90s i grew up in

[@WaltherPPK007]

Very true man

[@islandbee]

That part in Muriel's Wedding was what I was waiting for. And, you actually included it. I can tell you watch a lot of movies. 😆

[@MondoMatty]

See: This is what the internet is for. Great work.

[@DrKirkDemenz]

Love everything about this. Well paced, wide range of clips and sources, great grouping. I'm going to wind up watching most of not all these.

[@RetroGaming-gp2ef]

A lot of movies and TV shows shown were in the early 2000s. As a kid I loved going to the video store and renting movies and video games.

[@terrak7609]

Great idea, well done,fun to watch! 👍

[@jonblablabla1014]

RIP the good ol days

[@LiatriisVorst]

this is an amazing compilation, thanks for this, makes me so nostalgic... Our last video store here just RECENTLY shut down, was amazing still going through its isles and actually picking movies and talking to the staff about them etc...

[@banesrb]

Great comeback video to the channel

[@donmchoull]

Thanks, probably not the best for the KZbin algorithm to go a year between uploading videos, and then upload something totally different from my more popular videos, but I'm not overly worried about that. Planning to make more videos, will see if I actually manage to get anything else up here in 2022

[@WilliamHaisch]

6:40 You haven’t seen Pulp Jesus until you’ve seen the director’s cut! 😂

[@ampdesign]

I am glad The Holiday (2006) made it.

[@travanti182]

Amazing!! Thanks for this!!

[@r.l.1953]

Very well done! Bravo! Encore! 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👌👌👌👌😃😃😃😃

[@lisaknox7722]

It used to be Blockbuster video. I really miss that store Theyd even had great Commercials.😢😢😢

[@williamleewolverine]

Some of my best childhood memories came from going to video stores like Blockbuster and Family Video.

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

hahahha. Pretty good compilation of video rentals scenes! :D Well done man :D Its back when people lived more

[@ChonkySlotDonkey]

Awesome!! Subscribed!

[@SodaVampire]

This makes me kinda emotional? I can smell that plasticy smell and hear the crinkle of candy bags.

[@giuseppelavecchia775]

Le videoteche erano fantastiche!

[@billypoker7822]

Good job Don!

[@AdrianMendoza23]

Fantastic.

[@willyounts3308]

This is soooooo great

[@middleschoolgravy]

Love this. The only big omission I could think of was the “titular line” sketch from UCB.

[@BenLindelof]

Good memories!

[@joelalexander4513]

Remote Control from 1988. Indeeeeeeed-DAH!!

[@tundraportal]

Very cool!

[@Bigal1982]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I needed this video

[@tropical8669]

If you look up Third rock from the sun they had an episode or more where they were inside a video store, also Parker Lewis can't loose where his parents owned a video store. If you do a part 2 make sure to include these. :)

[@trr5291]

I miss them a lot. Now I keep a video store in my house. But it's not the same.

[@NineInchNailer]

We all hought it would last forever.....

[@actnreact1321]

great video !

[@bloodeagle6458]

There's a couple more movies you coulda fit in there but still pretty cool

[@loscomandos9787]

[@bloodeagle6458]

They will never understand

[@the_dailies]

Any chance you could add a list of all the references? Would love to watch some of these

[@donmchoull]

The list of clips, in order, is in the description. I used more than one clip from some of them but hopefully the list should make it easy to ID the various clips

[@the_dailies]

@@donmchoull thank you!

[@Strangestthing1]

Take Me Home Tonight?!

[@lyrichardeman5779]

In the scene of No Ball Games when Esme and his sister Belinda works for the video store “Piper’s Videos”!!

[@heatheraucoin5832]

I was hoping to see Trueblood, Eric and Pam owned a video store. Sugar n Spice, Jack (Diane’s boyfriend) worked at a video store. SATC Miranda hadn’t had $ex in awhile so she rented videos to kill time.

[@Fivefortymuhkids]

😢 why does everything good never last.

[@es-uw8cm]

slime city, there's nothing out there, terror on tape, fade to black, the toxic avenger part lll, the barn part ll & the dead next door all have vhs tape scenes in vhs shops I believe. was sugar & spice in there?

[@zackk3589]

did you intentionally put the shots of after dark video and queen video side by side ?

[@donmchoull]

Yes. I wished I'd gone to After Dark when it was open, a video store that stays open until 4 a.m. sounds amazing

[@zackk3589]

@@donmchoull Same, wish I made an effort to float in as a kid. Still difficult to imagine a shop like that nestled there on Bathurst.

[@snowymatrix]

5:02 anyone have any idea where this clip is from, thanks

[@tropenglanz]

if I remember correctly it's from Striptease (1996)

[@FreshWitcher]

Friends season 3 epsode 13 theres a scene in a video store with Monica

God I miss video stores all the hot girls that would come in lol. Kid's today don't know what a video store is he'd be clueless.

[@flutebasket4294]

You got a dislike for including the ridiculous Capt. Marvel

[@littlebigcomrade]

Are we actually the first generation (current) to objectively admit that life was better when we were kids? People were more social, politics were more balanced and less extreme, the news felt trustworthy and valid, prices were lower, more time outside the home doing activities, more optimism, the internet was not overly present, the games were excellent, not having a phone on you was normal and people were generally less emotionally charged and calmer overall, less likely to be offended by the slightest things…

[@RogerLoera]

Ahh no married with children! Bummer.

[@jess4metoo]

@4:34 Unfunny Woody Allen….LOL

[@robertomancha6840]

I gotta stop just watching just anything 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@latenightlogic]

Gotta stop watching these, they depress the hell out of me.
