I think the thing I liked about Blockbuster was the routine of it, but also how the limited selection helped you make a decision, particularly when you’re with a group. When you’re scrolling through a streaming service with hundreds of choices, it can become difficult to make one. If your only options are the 10 new movies on the shelf, it makes it a lot easier to come to an agreement.
