Its Only A Movie UK
Its Only A Movie UKThe 80s were a transformative period in the UK for home entertainment, with video rental shops emerging as a cultural phenomenon. The 1980s video shop, once a staple of British high streets, embodied the excitement of a new era where watching movies no longer required a trip to the cinema.

Early 1980s video shops were often independently owned, had rows of pre-cert video tapes, categorised by genre — Action, Comedy, Kids Corner and our obvious fave, Horror! Customers could select the film they wanted to rent, take it home, and watch it at their leisure. The whole experience was often a highlight of your Friday or Saturday night!
