I enjoyed Blockbuster stores as a kid (and subsequently, Hollywood Video stores as a teen as they had a wider selection of classic films that Blockbuster just didn’t have.)

But the Red Box Kiosks don’t have many classics, and Netflix isn’t convenient when I have that sudden hankering to see that movie *now*.

So, I’ll either have to stock up on my DVD collection through eBay and Amazon.com or learn to put my desire to show a longtime favorite to a visiting friend on hold because I just can’t pick it up from Netflix when I feel like it. Unless of course I want to watch the film on my tiny laptop via their instant download system.

Fortunately, the Blockbuster close to my house seems to have every determination to stay open for the time being. Still, I wish the selection weren’t so limited.
