Jim,

The Blockbuster chain is based in Dallas, and one of the VP's is a family friend of a family friend. We've discussed this over birthday cake and Thanksgiving turkey a couple of times. I asked why they don't keep a few of the older movies, and he said they don't make any money on them. I would like to see a rotating collection at Blockbuster, perhaps for three months at a time, for those of us who are fans of various types of older movies.

Meanwhile, the common source theme in this thread is "Public Library." They have a pretty good collection of vidoes. Haven't seen many DVD's there yet, but then they don't have many books on CD either, they're still mostly on tape. I think they're resisting change on this, but the change in both venues would be beneficial.
