Results: The internet rediscovered Blockbuster's website. Press play on nostalgia.

In a tweet this month, the company joked about reopening: "New business idea: We're going to come back as a bank and use VHS and DVDs as currency. Time to go visit your mom." Do you think this will happen?

The tweet was a joke, but three days later, Twitter users realized the Blockbuster website was active again. The message on the homepage: "We are working on rewinding your movie." Does Blockbuster make you fell nostalgic?

While Blockbuster was a mainstay for many families in the 80s and 90s, on-demand movie options started to become popular, with rentals available with the click of a button. Brick and mortar movie retailers puttered out and Blockbuster announced in 2014 it would be closing its nearly 300 remaining stores in the U.S. There still remains one open in Bend, Oregon. Did you ever rent from Blockbuster?

The Bend store, the subject of the documentary film The Last Blockbuster, also trades on its status as the last vestige of an iconic American brand by selling branded merchandise for what has effectively become a tourist destination. The documentary itself, crowdfunded on Kickstarter, debuted at a local drive-in theater during the pandemic, and then became a viral hit when it came to (irony of ironies) Netflix. A VHS copy of the movie is currently available on Lunchmeat VHS, and the Blockbuster Bend website has it available in more contemporary formats. Did you know there was a documentary?
