I live a few blocks from that place. It gets a disproportionate amount of attention.

  In the days of streaming, it is a curiosity to be sure, but in the end, it is just a video rental store. In the documentary, they really up the romanticism of video rental stores. This is just my experience, but I was a kid when Blockbuster was a thing. Plus, I grew up in a college town where the neighbors we a bit dynamic. So I never experienced any of the sort of community feeling that the documentary portrays. My most memorable Blockbuster Video experience is sort of a dark and morbid one. Not appropriate in this context. Think dark in a humorous Cohen brother's way, not dark in a life scaring way.
