      I grew up in a small town, so the only places that rented movies and games were the grocery store and small town bar. Needless to say, the selection was pretty skimpy, usually giving about 5 games and 30 movies to pick from.
      The first time I was able to visit a real video store, my jaw hit the floor. It blew my little kid mind to see so many movies and better yet, so many video games that I could rent.

      I’ve always wanted to go into Family Video. Great video John! My favorite memory was at Hollywood Video back in 1998 was into Lethal Weapon at the time and was also getting into other action movies. There I found The Road Warrior. I ended up renting it and the other Mad Max films. Changed my life forever.

    Love the production quality of the video. Nice thing about Family Video, they always had similar lay outs. Now this location shown in the video is nothing like the locations around Chicago. They were mostly brick and had a brick and glass pillar in front. But this was my all time favorite place to rent movies from even over Blockbuster. They were family friendly, reasonably priced, and always had a wide selection of new and old movies. Family Video will be missed.

And that's what got me into collecting movies and having a great time with them.
    So, thank you John! Keep making videos about things you enjoy, we appreciate them. There's already so many people out there forcing themselves to do stuff they don't like. Videos like this are the real deal man, cheers!

    I miss going into my local Blockbuster Video every Saturday night not only to pick up rental movies, but for sheer entertainment value. That’s when the not so cinephile crowd would come in and would always comment on movies and titles as they browsed the shelves to find something to rent. My favorite was when some young lady was commenting on the title of a movie to her friend. She said, “Well, that’s stupid. Why would anyone want to kick a hornet’s nest. It’s like she’d never before heard that figure of speech.

    Favorite memory: When working at a video store, I was able to get access to watch movies early before they released, get free posters and eat all the candy I wanted while working. Absolutely glorious days and ones I believe can and should be kept alive for future generations.
