For some reason I’ve been thinking about setting up a small rental place myself. The only thing is I don’t want randy, tech illiterate weirdos wandeing up for porn. It’s the only thing, but it’s a big one. I do not want to know what Six Fingered Dave down the bog does with those extra fingers.

Amélie – every single week. Painful even seeing the picture now.
Buying the cow -was charmed obsessed.
And something with Meg Ryan in a boxing ring.

Neverending story
First that comes to mind is another Stallone film – Cliffhanger
Iron Eagle 3 and SFX
Always on the shelf = no one wanted it 😂
The Last Unicorn!!!!
Bottom Right Corner in the Foodstore, cost 50p to rent!!!
Snatch, American History X, Training Day
This was in Xtravision back in the day
The cover of Stephen Kings It scarred me so bad I couldn’t go to that section of the video shop
Didn’t even see the film till I was an adult but the cover alone absolutely haunted my childhood
Always remember Hellraiser. And Nightmare on Elm Street. Big day when I was finally allowed to take that bad boy home.
I remember I’d always see Best of The Best in the same spot for years every time I wandered into my video shop, nobody touched that thing.

This used to scare the crap out of me when I went to the video store as a kid.
There was one called ‚Whore‘ that looked cool! But now I think it was a bad rip off of Pretty Woman.
Nothing beats Stallone in this:

Fright Night. Amazing poster. Gave me nightmares. The film was so tame when I actually got the courage to watch it
Ghost Dog for some reason
Blue streak. To the point where multiple family members rented the film to only to realise we have seen it multiple time.
Biodome. Never seen it but it was on the shelf in the video shop every single time I was there and the cover stood out. That and hellraiser.
Deathstalker and Lifeforce were two covers I’ll always remember.
The body snatchers video cover has always been stuck in my mind anytime I think of my times in the video shop in the 90s

Boyz in The Hood
Howard the duck and Gremlins always seemed to be there.
