Talking to my dad about renting VHS tapes made me miss the old video store vibe.
He said we used to pick movies based purely on the box art, which is how we found 'The Stuff' in 1987. Anyone else have a terrible movie they only watched because the cover looked awesome?

Box art was the best movie critic.

You know what, @aaronsullivan, you are SO right. How many times did I rent a movie just because the cover looked awesome? That art was a promise. If the box had a cool monster or a spaceship, you KNEW what you were getting. It was honest in a way reviews never are.
