I vaguely remember this text from a meme or a comment from somewhere. If this was already posted in lemmy itself, I apologise for reposting.
The Jungle Book (1967 version) on VHS.
So much stuff we recorded on VHS:
- The Marx Brothers (all of them)
- Disney’s Robin Hood
- Animalympics
DVD? walks my pet dinosaur out of the room
Really though, Labyrinth is the one that comes to mind.
Tron Multiple Star Trek movies
RobocopAll on VHS, recorded with our excellent Mitsubishi VCR
lol DVD. We had VHS growing up.
We had an old Spanish movie called “La Princessa Hippie”. It was a comedy with a silly story, along the lines of something like the Prince and the Pauper. We didnt really understand the story or the comedy. But there were a lot of funny one liners.
I think we also had Problem Child 2 that we copied off another tape, and a cheap tape that we picked up at the store with a bunch of cartoons that were public domain.
I’ve used neither of them, i just wanted to know some underrated movies. I thought DVDs were very old. Turns out they aren’t.
Rambo… On VHS.
By myself, probably Apollo 13 - I used to watch it like once a day over the summer. With my dad, we watched Predator every time my mom had to work late.
Little Nemo (1989), and We’re Back (1993). I think my brother and I burned out those VHS tapes from overplaying them.
The Pirate Movie. VHS.
My family had a collection of vintage looney tunes and other cartoons. I remember characters turning into giant versions of food on a deserted island. I also remember the beginning of an old Superman cartoon. I had always preferred batman
My buddy had a copy of Predator on betamax that I think was recorded from a cable station.
Wackiki Wabbit. Set on Humuhumunukunukuapua’a’a’a Island.
Woah that’s the one!
Feels weird how every single physical gag came right back to me. Feels weirder seeing the casual racism
Yeah sometimes that neuron hasn’t fired in a while.
There’s an Ahoy video about tracker music, and when it played the first three notes of “Foregone Destruction,” that fucker released aaall the good chemicals.
We didn’t have a video player, but our friends had a Looney Tunes VHS that included rabbit season / duck season, the Bugs Bunny opera, left turn at Albuquerque, and Duck Dodgers
We must have watched it over 100 times
Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. On VHS, with Polish voiceover.
On VHS: Moonraker. A truly terrible Bond film, but I was too young to understand that.
At my grandmother’s house, it was Babes in Toyland. No it’s not a porn. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0090683/
Chomps (the canine home protection system) - an ‘electronic dog’ that catches burglars.
Diamonds - a few people rob an Israeli diamond vault by avoiding security features.
You said ‘own’ - well, these were on loan when the video shop shut down.
Fortunately, my dad was a bit of a geek and movie buff, so we had a lot of VHS and LaserDisc! Got to see the Star Wars trilogy (original theatrical releases, no less, on LD). There were a bunch of others. Police Academy, Tron, Flash Gordon… too much to list.
