DVDs didn't exist in my childhood...
DVD? Fuck! I'm too old. It was a Betamax.
I had two movies that I watched hundreds of times, the first one was Young Frankenstein and the other one was Banana Joe with Bud Spencer.
Not at home, but I had a job that shared a parking lot with a movie theater. "Oh, off work, I don't want to go home yet... hey, Independence Day is still playing..."
I must have seen that dozens of times in the theater.
Multiple movies on VHS that we recorded off the TV and the movie was shortened/missing entire scenes to fit the allotted run time for television. There are still some old movies I'll somehow end up watching again now and I'm like "I don't remember THIS part!"
The scene in Childs Play always comes to mind that was cut from tv cut.
Land Before Time 1!
Fuggen love dinosaurs. Still do.
DVDs didn't exist during most of my childhood. Xbox was our first DVD player.
VHS would have been All Dogs Go To Heaven (Charlie was my first crush and I'd still let him wreck me) or Disney's Robin Hood (he can also wreck me)
DVD was probably The Matrix (mentally wrecked me, slightly)
Charlie was my first crush and I'd still let him wreck me
Instance checks out? Though that result is better than being scarred for life by ADGTH* like so many other children were.
- This can be replaced with any other Don Bluth film.
Yeah shat the hell were they thinking with all the hell imagery, premeditated murder by vehicle, drive by shootings, and such??
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
Ballistic: Ecks VS Sever. Decent movie.
Also Out of Time and Déjà Vu, both with Denzel Washington, both sort of time based thrillers.
Deja vu is in my top 10 favorite movies list, just love the whole thing. Could watch it everyday for a month and not get sick of it.
In that case I can really recommend Out of Time
I saw it, didn't care for it as much.
Oscar 1991 (VHS)
I will accept no questions on this.
I had the original Ninja Turtles movie on VHS. The one where the kids smoke in many scenes.
If you try and stream the film today, they cut out some of the kid smoking scenes. I wish I still had that VHS. I watched that movie a hundred times growing up
Judgement Night (1993) and Speed (1994). Two of my favorite movies to this day, we wore those VHS tapes out. Aunt lived in the desert and when we visited, there was these, and MTV, that's about it.
(T)Raumschiff Suprise
Asterix the Gaul (on VHS) asterix and the brits (on VHS)
I come from a struggling background. We didn't have a vhs until I was at least 8y/o. When we got it, we couldn't afford purchasing the tapes so we rented occasionally. Therefore I never watched anything on repeat like that.
