Correction: The Last Blockbuster documentary is no longer on Netflix, but you can watch it on Tubi. Also I mentioned Jamie in the video and I meant Jamie Kennedy not King.

Me to. I'm so done with cable tv and all those comercials. I started a movie collection of my own. I look for dvds at resale stores or buy them used on ebay st least you own them. I'm tired of my smart phone and internet I go to the library. Cable company's are a rip off

I really, really miss walking into Blockbuster Friday night, renting 2 DVD movies, buying popcorn, sodas, and some chocolate, and watching it with my girlfriend on the couch together. We"'re married now, and we watch movies on Netflix with the kids. But I would do anything to get that feeling back. It's just much more fun, and you look forward to it rather than going through the controllers and streaming a movie.

Wow! A video store right next door to a pizza place. What a dynamite combination for any movie night! I surely do miss our Blockbuster stores here in my hometown or Erie, Pennsylvania. At one time, I can recall visiting one of two Blockbuster locations for video rentals back in the day when VHS tapes were quite popular. Both Blockbuster locations are now long gone. It's truly sad to lose a part of your past. I still love my collection of VHS tapes, as they contain a world of memories! Thank you so very much for making this documentary available to the KZbin community worldwide. I am forever inspired to make plans to visit this location. It looks like a wonderful place to visit. I will have to make arrangements to see the movies in a local Bend, Oregon hotel, as the 3000 mile trip from my home here in Erie might put me in danger of having to pay late rental fees. Kudos to the owners who are keeping this place going! Many happy returns from your friends in Erie, Pennsylvania!

I like the idea of Blockbuster coming back, but these days I have nothing I could even play a rented video on. Cant tell you how many decades its been since i had a vcr. I decluttered long ago to get rid of the excessive amount of various tech gadgets the 90s and 2000s produced so i also no longer have anything that can play a DVD. Cant remember the last time a PC was sold with an optical drive. I dont even STREAM enough movies to justify the purchase of dvd or vhs player, even if they're dirt cheap these days.

i watched an MTV production blurb that wasn't very long, from back in the day, and it was Brittany Murphy. She was in NYC, and they were recording her while she went to BlockBuster and grabbed some movies for her Thursday night. This was back when the franchise was still going strong, and she checked out her movies just like it always used to happen.. those times we took for granted.. yet they were golden times...

I managed a video store and arcade combo store when i was 17 back in 1986. It was exciting when the distributor rode up in a van and i could pick what was going to be rented. My boss was in charge of the x rated movies in the room of shame in the back with the black curtain. Since it was an arcade, my friends were always in and out so they could get free credits. I also got to choose what 45 rpm records went into the jukebox. 80s and 90s were great times, for sure.

16:49 Would've been hilarious if you filmed a "Yes Man" case. They also did a Blockbuster scene in the intro of the movie in Colorado. Which sadly closed down.

I love video rental stores and used media shops like fye. Rentals are gone but theres plenty of used media stores so thats nice. Bend is probably the most isolated metro on the west coast (and thats saying something)

I wonder how the owners still keep their business running. With the increase in wages and rent. Plus, most of the stuff today you can either stream or just buy it online and watch at home. Don't want to sound negative or pessimistic but is just a thought. I really miss those days.

They should really bring these back in certain areas. I bet this store is a gold mine today . People today would rather get up and head out to find a movie in this store and a pizza to bring home instead of Netflix every day. Humans were made to communicate and explore and not sit on a couch with a remote all day 😅

I worked in a blockbuster i a small town i the late 90's...i had to go thru and file the late fees...the place was making millions of dollars on late fees and 100's of thousands on rentals and sales. Blockbuster was busted for running a racket on the late fees later...i can't remember the details.

Yes kids, there was a time in the early 90s and 2000's where you could go to a store with vhs tapes and dvd's and blu rays just became THE THING. You could walk in and rent a new video game amd return it on time or pay late fees. But you could still beat the game.. For about $100 you could grt a yearly membership allowing you a set amount of videos you can rent per month. This was a gem of a business. My family would go here atleast 2-3 times a week. And weed all leave with q new movie or id get my sticky hands on the new Mortal kombat or Gears of war maybe halo. This doesnt seem so lost in my memory or even seem like a long time ago. It was much better and more simpler of a time. And more discreet.. if you had a bad video game disc that wouldnt play u could just go rent the same game and switch the discs out 😂.

Well they sell merchandise which I believe you can buy online, they also get a lot of visitors coming from all over the world and the locals actually go in and rent movies. Now I’m not sure how much they are making but thank God it’s enough to stay open
