Did anyone used to do the thing of choosing 3 videos choing which one you wanted to watch the most and which one you weren't bothered about if you had to miss it

The videos always had a distinct smell aswell I don't know if it was the box it was in or what but I can still remember the smell

It was just good to go as a family to choose the films and watch them as a family

Yes watching films is a hell of a lot easier now but I do feel it's lost the nostalgia of film watching

So it's got me thinking... What are you nostalgic about what do you still wish was still around or done a certain way that today's technology has 'improved' but you preferred the way it was done before?


Wow snap Jake ! we were having a right old chat with mates about Blockbusters up the rd and how we used to spend ages looking at vids and deciding what to pick , we used to hire games as well . Also getting fined for being late ! oh and getting there and every film you wanted was already out rented so ya had to put your name on the list , deffo paid to get to know the staff for a bit of queue jumping
We just found our sega multi mega and 10 games so got all the new connections ready to revisit some old favourite games , then we gonna sell the lot for loadsa money
