I flew on an airliner about 20 years ago, and set next to this Japanese American gal, for a cross country flight.
She and her husband were both engineers, but when it was time to have children, they decided she would quit working, and they bought a video store , where they figured she could still work and make money and being in control of it.. hire employees etc.
She was based out of Metro Seattle.
But two highlights of the conversation...
I asked her what was the most rented movie, if there was one.... She said simply... oh yes, there is one.. The Movie Slapshot, they kept adding copies, and still they couldn't keep enough copies on the shelves... this is 20 plus years after the movie came out.
The other interesting point in the conversation, was I asked if they rented out X Rated movies. She said that they had to keep those in stock in a closed section to keep the doors open. However, when I asked her if the people were usually men, renting them mainly over the weekend and on Friday and Saturday nights, she told me HELL NO....
75% of their business on X rated movies was during the week, rented in the middle of the day.. and the large number of renters were NOT MALES.. it was predominantly females in the 40 to 60 yr old range.. frustrated house wives...
and the real raunchy ones, that was rented predominantly by women in the same age range, NOT the preverbial " Dirty old men"...
INteresting conversation and most of the results or her answers were the exact opposite of what I thought I would hear.
Guys seemed to like Westerns , combat movies etc. Middle aged women were the " sex movie" customers...

Tombstone.
Twister.
No Country For Old Men.
Eldorado.
And Starship Troopers.... believe it or not, that's a pretty good movie. Eldorado is another great one. I actually like Rio Bravo just a little better. Seems they both have the same plot. Never seen Starship Troopers. I’ll have to search Amazon Prime to see if they have it available. And No Country For Old Men is another good one. Bout the only movie I liked with Josh Brolin in it.

I had an Army friend who was from Johnstown and he was familiar with all of the land marks. When I watched the movie like many of you I did enjoy the comedy. It was a statement of the 1970's.

Blazing Saddles and Slap Shot for comedies. Although not strictly movies, The Pacific and Band of Brothers.
Newman said that Slapshot was the most fun of any movie he ever made.
