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.
All are VHS
- The Great Muppet Caper - recorded off ABC movie night
- Maximum Overdrive - recorded off TBS
- On Our Own - My mom was part of a movie club that sent this one
- 2 Episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon
The fox and the hound. But… 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.
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.
On VHS…
A lot of old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, The Lion King, Rocky Horror Picture Show
Things like that.
Tron
Multiple Star Trek movies
RobocopAll on VHS, recorded with our excellent Mitsubishi VCR
VHS - Howard the Duck
I still quote that movie and I am convinced not a single person I have ever met has seen it.
So much stuff we recorded on VHS:
- The Marx Brothers (all of them)
- Disney’s Robin Hood
- Animalympics
The Jungle Book (1967 version) on VHS.
Edit: I love how OP asked for DVDs and almost everyone responds with VHS. Maybe that’s a better system to group people into generations, VHS, DVD, streaming.
Rambo… On VHS.
Superman 2
My brother and I were bored out of our minds for an entire summer together staying with our mom in a pretty remote location during the summer. She would be at work and we would be at her house with nothing to do. We watched it so much we could recite 100% of the dialogue before they said it. Kinda like Rocky Horror
my first tape was The Goonies so i know that entire movie word for word. We also got ET but that’s not actually a fun movie to watch at all i never watched it much.
I’m old enough that for me it was VHS. These are a few:
Yeah, it was “none” for me because DVDs didn’t exist in my childhood. Well, at least not in my home.
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 find some underrated 70s/80s movies to watch. I thought DVDs were very old. Turns out they aren’t.
DVD? walks my pet dinosaur out of the room
Really though, Labyrinth is the one that comes to mind.
