What were you Wear Out The VHS movies?

[James Fabiano]

Which movies did you own/record on VHS and watch the heck out of, back in the day? I thought of this when in another post we mentioned....


Jetsons: The Movie (yes, this was one for me. I know it was sub-average, but 13-year old me still loved it for some reason)
Original TMNT (1990)
All Dogs Go To Heaven
Wizard of Oz
Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore
The Will Vinton Dinosaurs special

Recordings.....
Grease and Grease 2 (former from HBO, latter ABC so you can guess how hacked and slashed it was)
A Chorus Line: The Movie
Body Slam
Several Saturday Night's Main Event, choice weekly wrestling shows I happened to record
Today's Special...the Dinosaurs episode

[Spider2024]

Aladdin

Yep, me too. Pretty much any Disney movie we got on video qualifies. Especially this, The Lion King, and Fox and the Hound (I was SO happy when they finally released this to VHS, as I had never seen the actual movie itself, only was obsessed with the book/record I had as a kid). Sleeping Beauty was another one.

Batman Forever

You and I have a lot of the same favorite movies and TV shows when we were kids. We should've hung out. Great choices!

Fast Times at Ridgemont High...

oh you meant the full movies

Embrace of the Vampire, for...reasons.

When I was a kid, one of the first VHS tapes that was bought specifically for me was The Great Escape. I loved that movie, and I must have watched that VHS so many times. I still watch that film, whenever I stumble across it on TV.

And Transformers: Arrival from Cybertron. I was more into the comics than the cartoon, but I did like that one.

I loved (and always love my films) as a kid growing up these were some of the more dubious choices, I watched growing up

The Fly (The Goldblum one)
A Nightmare on Elm Street films
RoboCop
Revenge of the Nerds
Re-Animator (yeah I know)
Child's Play
Loose Screws
Platoon
The Lost Boys

Some films that are an odd choice for a kid

Married to The Mob
Nuns on the Run
The Pope Must Die
The Cannonball Run movies
Young Guns movies

The more age appropriate movies

The Goonies
The Monster Squad
Gremlins (though it was a 15 here in the UK) also the 2nd movie
Spaceballs
Ghostbusters
An American Tail 2 (didn't own the first movie for some reason)
All Dogs Go To Heaven
ET
Dick Tracy
Superman 1&2

As you can tell I was allowed to watch what I want

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

[Deleted]

...because it was on the same tape.

None for me really. My parents never bought me VHS and there was no cable where I lived until I was 17 so I didn't record many movies. My girlfriend wore out 3 copies of Little Mermaid when she was a kid. After the second one was dead her parents had to search for a year to find another copy since Disney had put the film back in the vault.

Terminator 2
The first four Rocky’s
