I remember going to a video store in the 90s and was standing on line to check out. A young man in front of me asked the clerk "How old do you have to be to rent a "X" rated tape?" The clerk replies "18". The man puts 3 cassettes on the counter and gleefully says, "Today's my 18th birthday!"

Maybe this one?

I recall renting the Steven King series The Stand from the Mom and Pop video store in Itasca when I was there in the Fall of 1994. There were several of these DVDs so I had to go back a number of times.
My cat prefers the Grumpy Cat movies: Grumpy Cat Goes to Paris, Grumpy Cat Saves the World, Grumpy Cat Runs for President, Grumpy Cat Moves to The Villages, etc.

According to an article posted yesterday in the Washington Post, the remaining Blockbuster store in Bend, Oregon has seen an uptick in business because of the publicity of being the last Blockbuster store. Curious people are stopping at the store to take selfies with the Blockbuster sign and even to shop.

According to this article, in 1989 a Blockbuster store opened every 17 hours.

the first Blockbuster store opened in October, 1985 in Dallas.

Business life cycle: launch, growth, shake-out, maturity, decline. 33 years for Blockbuster's life cycle.
