Homeward Bound

Honestly my plan is to try and get copies of my family's old home videos

Might be interesting to see if any kids I have being able to see when I was their age has any effect on how they see me as their parent

For me it was The Boy Who Loved Trolls, The Boy Who Could Fly, Flight of the Navigator and the Rainbow Brite episode/movie that contained this song: https://youtu.be/zPRWuegS8l8?si=OYJ3x4vSSyWg2eNO

This was the movie Troll for me with Sonny Bobo.

For me it was a CD, not a tape, but I watched the hell out of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, dubbed in a monotone voice by a grand total of like three people.

My condolences to anyone who grew up with the movie Plague Dogs

I really liked the movie titan AE and had it on VHS . When looking it up recently aparen it was really bad . Still might give it a rewatch some time though

Aladdin

I still watch these movies that I used to own just on their respective streaming platforms. I cant tell you how many times I've rewatched the same handful of movies I had as a kid but in my adult years.

Maximum overdrive. We didn't tape it, but it was saved to our DVR for years.

The Adventures of Milo and Otis! I wonder if it is streaming anywhere?

Captain Ron fam checking in!

EDIT: We also were frequent watchers of "Money Pit" and "The 'Burbs"....all movies which are pretty notable for..............being available for multiple watches.

How obscure are we talking ? Mine was Gandahar (1987). Try to beat that !

Dude I remember getting so pumped up because of specials on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. In high school I loved being home to catch my favourite shows.

Tell that to my daughter watching that soviet cartoon about penguins I had as a video tape over and over again on youtube

I tried to watch Jingle all the way with my kids today. They pointed out how stupid that movie is, but I didn't have a lot of choices back then. I don't miss those days of shitty choices.

It was a bunch of shitty animated films on DVD for me (with a couple of Disney and Dreamworks films added into the mix). It’s probably the cause of my love of physical media.

100%!!!

I co-host a podcast focused on superhero movies. Over breaks (summer and winter holidays) we'll typically do something different than our usual. This past summer we did a Jeff Bridges sci-fi double feature - Tron (the original) and Starman.

For this holiday season we just recorded an od pairing that I think could be called "what random VHS tapes did you grow up with?" The movies? Roadhouse and The Pirates of Penzance!

Judgement Night and Speed. I guess I got lucky, all my aunt had in the middle of fucking nowhere. Now two of my favorites
