| 50996 | If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame... | <p>We didn't get a Circuit City until 2000. When I first set foot in there, my life changed forever. I was just mesmerized by the large variety of movies, games, and CDs. I just had to come to back to CC after that day. And I did. I just kept coming back, and back back! Our Circuit City lasted several years. Until that dark, gloomy day when the company went bankrupt. Now our once beloved store is now an Ashley's Furniture.</p> | Mr Magic | May 27, 2025 |  |
| 50995 | If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame... | <p>I definitely miss going into Circuit City. Sure, Best Buy is a step up, but I have more memories associated with CC than Best Buy.</p> | Vaporman87 | May 27, 2025 | |
| 50994 | If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame... | <p><strong>Circuit City!!!:</strong></p> <p><strong><img alt="" height="375" src="http://www.retro-daze.org/upload/IMG_2700.jpeg" width="500" /></strong></p> <p>My family's go-to-electronics store place in the Late-90's/Early-To-Mid-2000's. While it's easy to see why Circuit City went completely under and that they couldn't keep up with Best Buy...the store still brings back a lot of nostalgic memories to me and it will never be forgotten.</p> | BionicleFan1994 | May 26, 2025 | |
| 50993 | If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame... | <p>I wish I was around when The Ten Commandments was released in theaters. I can imagine the big time hype. :D</p> <p>I need to mention Charlton Heston's performance as Judah Ben-Hur. The boat scene and chariot race scene are both so nerve-racking and Heston just shines in both of them. How did he do it? How did he ever pull off doing these intense scenes?</p> <div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax7wcShvrus"> <div> <div style="height:0; left:0; padding-bottom:56.25%; position:relative; width:100%"><iframe allow="accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" src="//if-cdn.com/BG8ssv2R" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" tabindex="-1"></iframe></div> </div> </div> <div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LVp4tvl5O4"> <div> <div style="height:0; left:0; padding-bottom:56.25%; position:relative; width:100%"><iframe allow="accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" src="//if-cdn.com/PJ1yN9Nf" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" tabindex="-1"></iframe></div> </div> </div> <p> </p> | Mr Magic | May 25, 2025 | |
| 50992 | If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame... | <p>FANTASTIC RETRO MEMORIES!</p> <p>Video rentals literally saved movies from rotting in studio archives.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ca/d1/21/cad121fd55c883d01fccb2d574b778a7.jpg" /></p> <p><strong>The Ten Commandments</strong> from <strong>1956</strong> was just one of the old classics that found new fans thanks to widespread rental availability. The rise of Online media took it from there!</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j3CANELyPo0?si=z-eqYOH8oNRIMbAz" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9e/ba/4a/9eba4ad9968bff57ddb9a38508b9e6f9.jpg" /></p> | eddstarr | May 24, 2025 | |
| 50991 | If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame... | <p>Oh, yes. Movie Gallery was a great place too. Great wide selection of movies and games. I remember you could buy movies from there. My dad bought me Wayne's World and Naked Gun 2 on VHS. They were old, used copies, but they played very nicely!</p> <p>We had a place called Videos Unlimited here in town. I remember one Halloween, they had this room just for horror movies. It had this spooky, creepy Halloweenish atmosphere. It was pretty cool.</p> | Mr Magic | May 24, 2025 | |
| 50990 | If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame... | <p>Mr. Magic,</p> <p>Yeah man I really miss movie rental stores. Although my family's go-to-movie rental place was Movie Gallery...which while not as anywhere near as good as Blockbuster in its heyday...was still a really cool place to rent movies in my childhood.</p> | BionicleFan1994 | May 23, 2025 | |
| 50989 | If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame... | <p> </p> <p>Blockbuster</p> <p><img alt="" height="166" src="http://retro-daze.org/upload/image-20250522151157-2.jpeg" width="303" /></p> <p><img alt="" height="525" src="http://retro-daze.org/upload/image-20250522150918-1.png" width="700" /></p> <p>The mother of all video rental places. But this isn't just a celebration of Blockbuster Video, but video stores in general. We all love video stores, right? Blockbuster is just like Dr. Pepper: Always one of a kind. I mean how many video rental places have video game kiosks? Or it's own popcorn brand?</p> <p><img alt="" height="800" src="http://retro-daze.org/upload/image-20250522152254-1.jpeg" width="1067" /></p> <p>Netflix may have taken Blockbuster and our other video stores away from us, but we'll always hold the memories in our hearts. Blockbuster forever, baby!! Hooray for the <span style="color:#0000cc">blue</span> and <span style="color:#ffff00">yellow</span>!!!</p> | Mr Magic | May 22, 2025 | |
| 50987 | RetroCon | <p>I would love to see you guys again! I almost made it out to 2021 but something came up last minute.</p> <blockquote rel="Vaporman87" style="display: inline-block !important;"><strong>Vaporman87 wrote :</strong> <p><em>That would be awesome!

| 50986 | The Cryptid Corps | <p>That looks really interesting Tony! I love cryptids, the idea of them as a superhero team is cool.</p> | Rick Ace Rhodes | May 17, 2025 | |
