“To be fair, I’ve never actually visited Hometown Video in Brookville, Indiana in person—but I discovered them online and instantly fell in love with the store. There’s just something magical about seeing a true, old-school video rental shop still thriving in today’s world. So much so, I genuinely want to make the trip all the way from Missouri just to become a member and rent movies there myself. That’s how special this place feels.
What really sealed it for me was calling the store and speaking with the owner. He was an absolutely fantastic person—friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. You can tell he genuinely cares about the people who walk through his doors. In a time where everything is digital, he’s keeping the spirit of movie nights, browsing shelves, and local connection alive.
Thank you, Hometown Video, for keeping the movie rental legacy alive every time you unlock the door. You’re not just renting movies—you’re preserving a culture, a tradition, and a feeling that still matters.
