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!

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.

FANTASTIC RETRO MEMORIES!

Video rentals literally saved movies from rotting in studio archives.

The Ten Commandments from 1956 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!

I wish I was around when The Ten Commandments was released in theaters. I can imagine the big time hype.

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?

Circuit City!!!:

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.

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.

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.

In honor of an amazing feat that this album just achieved and for just earning a 20x Platinum status in the US, I nominate Metallica's Black Album:

Regardless of your opinion or your ranking of this album off Metallica's albums...you can'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.

It was the same year another very famous rock album was released:

Nirvana's "Nevermind" album 

Mr. Magic, yep. Nirvana's Nevermind album certification got updated to 13x Platinum last Christmas.

1991 in general was a landmark for rock music. Nirvana's Nevermind, Metallica's Black Album, Pearl Jam's Ten, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik, BOTH of Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion albums and Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger all came out late that year.

There will never be anything quite like that time again for mainstream rock music.

Now I'm going to nominate something else music-related besides something to do with rock 'n' roll.

This time...I'm nominating Britney Spears' In The Zone album from 2003:

This iconic Early-2000's pop album features the iconic Early-2000's pop hit, "Toxic" and was by far the best and most critically acclaimed album of Britney's first four albums for her career at that point.
