The idea is for locals to use it to share and borrow DVDs

A nostalgic film fan has created a miniature Blockbuster video store outside his home so villagers can borrow and share classic DVDs. Peter Goddard, 39, spent weeks perfecting his Blockbuster-inspired DVD library with a light-up sign and popcorn, which he says has been a hit with locals.

Peter, a school site manager and amateur filmmaker from Alderholt, Dorset, said: “Growing up I really connected with films. I grew up in the 90s, so I always collected DVDs and videotapes before that. “It seems strange to me that people in the younger generations don’t know about DVDs. It makes me feel old now that many people don’t even know what Blockbuster was.”

It also comes complete with a light-up Blockbuster sign on top bought from Etsy and a tongue-in-cheek sign saying: "Please remember to rewind!" Features similar to those offered by the video store chain, which was founded in 1985 and closed in 2014 - although there is one remaining store in Bend, Oregon, USA - include popcorn and a "must-see movie" section.
