That's a great idea!
My generation has never had that. And I have no desire for it. In elementary I would order Netflix movies or games in the mail and I could DRV any show I wanted or watch it on demand. By middle school we had Redbox. By high school there were multiple streaming services. I would never go to a store to rent a movie. Too much work. >

I grew up in the video store generation and never want to go back. I find it bizarre how people get nostalgic for them >

The actual 1990's wasn't like a Kevin Smith movies where minimum wage workers would spout snarky quips and pop culture esoterica. You litrally just paced the aisles and then went home as fast as you could. >

This MF never went to BLOCKBUSTER >

Who is going to invest the money to open and run that?
If you think it’s a good idea, go for it >

I miss Blockbuster and similar store, but I recognize this is nostalgia. >

I get it OP.
But unfortunately,  this hobby has been completely digitized, so you have to purposely cultivate a local community if you want something like this. There are tons of other hobbies that do this,  but movies ain't gonna be it for a long time,  if ever again. >

When I’m in a retail space I hate talking to other people and I hate it when they talk to me.
HOWEVER as someone who has gotten very into film as an adult, it would be really cool if like community centers or libraries or clubs would host screenings of movies of significant value with a forum to discus them post-screening.  That would be really cool.
