I absolutely loved my local video store and owe a large part of my viewing tastes to it.

Had it not been for that store I wouldn't have the appreciation that I do for foreign films, trash cinema, exploitation films and direct-to-video.

I outgrew my local rental's small collection quickly and was an early adopter when it came to torrenting and streaming. I still miss the store - the process of discovering a movie was at least half the experience.

The best I can do to get close to it is browse the IMDB release list every 6 months and then get every movie that sparks my interest. Binge watching 40-50 movies is cool, but not the same.
