First, there were Little Free Libraries. Then, there were little Free Blockbusters. This October, Free Blockbuster opened up in DFW.
Hop in your car and type this into your GPS — 1020 W. Creek Dr., Hurst, Texas. Similar to Little Free Libraries, the concept is simple. For every movie you take, you leave a movie behind. VHS tapes, DVDs, and other entertainment media are accepted.
What’s in the box?
We sped over to Hurst to see what movies we might get our hands on. We found favorites, such “Mamma Mia,” “The Italian Job,” and “Mona Lisa Smile.” The best deal perhaps, was the John Wayne Film Collection we found, containing 10 of his classics. For free.
Which Fort Worth-area neighborhood deserves the next Free Blockbuster? Don’t tell us — establish a franchise instead. Official Blockbuster boxes start at $420, but you can use virtually anything, like an old newspaper box.
The nearest Free Blockbuster outside of DFW is Baker’s Lakeshore Market in Corsicana — which opened in October 2024.
