Friday Night is Back
My Video Rental isn't just another "what should we watch" app - it's a time machine to 1989, when picking a movie was half the fun. Created by Old Skool Apps as part of the Retro Renaissance, this beautifully crafted video store simulator brings the ritual and excitement of Blockbuster nights into the modern era.

Two Ways to Stock Your Shelf:

Enter Your Own Movies
Got three titles you're debating? Type them in and let fate decide. Perfect for when your group has narrowed it down but can't make that final call. Democracy is great, but sometimes you just need the VHS gods to choose.

Browse Nostalgic Sections
Not sure what you're in the mood for? Tap through our curated aisles of classic films organized just like your favorite video store:
• By Genre: Action, Comedy, Romance, Horror, Sci-Fi, Drama

It's like walking the aisles, but your couch is way more comfortable than those industrial carpets ever were.

Two Epic Ways to Pick-

Shuffle Mode: The VHS Shake

Watch the magic happen! Your three VHS tapes appear on screen and start shaking - building the anticipation. Then... two tapes dramatically fall away, leaving your movie night winner standing tall. It's satisfying. It's exciting. It's final. No take-backs!

Mystery Mode: The Tap Reveal

Feeling lucky? Your three movies appear as VHS tapes with mysterious ? covers hiding the titles. Close your eyes, tap one, and reveal your destiny! The suspense is absolutely real. Will you get the action flick you wanted or the rom-com your partner picked? Only one way to find out!


The "We Watched" Log

Here's where My Video Rental becomes more than just a picker - it becomes your family's movie memory book.
Track up to 365 entries - a full year of movie nights!

• Movie Title: What did you watch?
• Date: When did you watch it?
• Who You Watched With: Mom, Dad, the kids, your best friend, your date

Why This Matters:
Remember that random Tuesday when you finally introduced your kids to The Goonies and they absolutely loved it? It's recorded.
That rainy Saturday when you and your sister laughed until you cried watching Ferris Bueller? Captured.

Some families take photos. Some keep journals. You? You've got a retro VHS rental log that tells the story of your year, one movie night at a time.


Name Your Video Rental Shop
This isn't just "the app" - it's YOUR store. Name it anything you want:
• "The Johnson Family Video"
• "Blockbuster Redux"
• Or keep it classic with just "Video Rental"
Seeing your family name in neon lights above your virtual store? That's the kind of personal touch that makes every movie night feel special.

Watch your selections appear on the retro rental counter, creating the full sensory memory of Friday night at the video store.


Why My Video Rental-

It's Actually Fun: The picking process isn't a chore - it's entertainment! The shake animation, the mystery reveal, the anticipation - it's all part of the experience.

It Creates Ritual: Remember when choosing a movie was an EVENT? This brings that back. The whole family gathers, you browse the sections, you make your picks, you watch the shuffle - it's a moment, not just a decision.

More Than a Picker
Somewhere between unlimited content and algorithm suggestions, we lost something important: the joy of anticipation, the thrill of fate, the shared experience of making a choice together, and the simple act of remembering what we watched and who we shared it with.


My Video Rental brings it all back.
