Who remembers going to Blockbusters to rent a film?
 

Those were the days.

Use to beg my dad every Friday in like 2009-10, and then if he said yes beg him to get some sweets there.

It was so fun, we'd always go if we had sleepover with friends.

Now it's go on Netflix, iTunes or go online.

I've stopped buying films in hardcopy now and just get them through iTunes and stream them on Apple TV.

I miss Blockbuster <3

I was terrible at brining them back, but the guys in the store didn't care if it was late <3

Those were the days :love:

So last decade.

Now you can just watch anything on the laptop <3

Bless the Blockbuster.

I said to my dad once: "I want to work in Blockbuster when I'm older, that will be my first job." <3

Great times

They now offer a streaming service in which you can watch all the latest movies on subscription.

I remember renting VHS from there too in the late 90s/early 00s. I feel old :worry:

i always used to buy dvds from the ex-rental bit :flutter:

Do you remember how hard it was to record something on your video?

:laugh:

Me :flutter:

+ my work was build in an old blockbuster so they gave to me even after death <3

The horror of renting a movie and the disk being scratched. <3

Blockblister >

omg I remember going in, getting a DVD with popcorn and a drink :love:

good ol days :bawling:

Yeah it was hard enough just pressing record but trying to set the timer required a degree! And don't get me started on video plus codes or whatever they were....

I used to love going to rent a movie or a dvd.

we didnt really have one here

I used to go there every Saturday with my parents to rent PS1 games. I always remember that Mortal Kombat Trilogy was one of the games I'd always rent, I'd never get bored of it. A lot of my favourite PS1 games were ones I found in Blockbuster.

This topic also reminds me of a shop owner from my childhood. He used to run the shop near my nan's house and he had a VHS rental section and I'd always get my mom to rent Muppet's Christmas Carol, Aladdin and Lion King literally every week. Eventually he decided to sell up and he sold all the videos but he held on to those four and he gave them to me and I remember being so incredibly happy. I've always remembered that act of kindness.

Used to go quite a lot tbh we once got given a voucher for a free DVD every night for a month :flutter: we went most nights then because it was like 2010/11 and the days before Netflix etc.

The blockbuster ice cream was also better than any other ice cream I'd ever had >

I never had the ice cream, sounds amazing.

parents saying you can some popcorn/sweets/chocolate/popcorn in Blockbusters was amazing.

Rocky Road > Strawbery cheesecake > Caramel crunch

All three were iconic though and I miss them </3

They did Cookie dough and Millionaires shortcake also.

Cookie dough one was quite good but I don't like millionaires shortcake so never tried it.

omg they look so nice <3

Theres a blockbuster 20 mins away, might have to of there for this.

Rocky Road :love:

Cookie dough <3
