50999If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame...<p>In honor of an amazing feat that this album just achieved and for just earning a 20x Platinum status in the US, <strong>I nominate Metallica&#39;s Black Album:</strong></p> <p><strong><img alt="" height="600" src="http://www.retro-daze.org/upload/IMG_2742.jpeg" width="600" /></strong></p> <p>Regardless of your opinion or your ranking of this album off Metallica&#39;s albums...you can&#39;t deny how HUGE this album was for the band and metal and how it took them and the genre into a whole other stratosphere.</p> BionicleFan1994May 28, 2025View

50996If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame...<p>We didn&#39;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&#39;s Furniture.</p> Mr MagicMay 27, 2025View
50995If 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> Vaporman87May 27, 2025View
50994If 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&#39;s go-to-electronics store place in the Late-90&#39;s/Early-To-Mid-2000&#39;s. While it&#39;s easy to see why Circuit City went completely under and that they couldn&#39;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> BionicleFan1994May 26, 2025View
50993If 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&#39;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>&nbsp;</p> Mr MagicMay 25, 2025View
50992If 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>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</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> eddstarrMay 24, 2025View
50991If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame...<p>Oh, yes. Movie Gallery was a great place too. Great wide&nbsp;selection of movies and games. I remember you could buy movies from there. My dad bought me Wayne&#39;s World and&nbsp;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 MagicMay 24, 2025View
50990If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame...<p>Mr. Magic,</p> <p>Yeah man I really miss movie rental stores. Although my family&#39;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> BionicleFan1994May 23, 2025View
