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 does you grow up with?” The movies? Roadhouse and The Pirates of Penzance!

It was a direct to VHS release called “Berenstein Bears visit Sinbad in Shazam!”. This was pretty close to Ironton. My mom said I had such an imagination with it and it was all static.

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

An American Tale for me and my closest(in age) siblings. Bonus because while my older brother and I were American born, we moved out of the country when I was 2, and my younger sister was born outside the states. We saw the movie first overseas, then often when we came back to the US (7 for me).

My movie was princess and the goblin. I watched it on a 10x10 in monitor that had the VHS in while I worked at my family’s business where I did labor at 10 years of age 30+ hours a week. Good times

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

My daughter is 19 and that’s one of her favourite Christmas movies.
Guntrigger@feddit.ch 1 year ago
I want to watch it every Christmas but my wife objects.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Tell that to my daughter watching that soviet cartoon about penguins I had as a video tape over and over again on youtube
VicentAdultman@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How obscure are we talking ? Mine was Gandahar (1987). Try to beat that !
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Maximum overdrive. We didn’t tape it, but it was saved to our DVR for years.

Aladdin

Mine was Scamper the Penguin.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The Jungle Book starring Sabu. The only VHS my family owned from when I was 5 - 9.
Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The obscure movie for me was… Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I still know every line of dialog from beginning to end any time I happen to see it on.
Malfeasant@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Ha. My dad’s copy of star wars was just star wars, no episode, no hope. I’m old.
Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I thought the “Episode IV” was always there? I’m talking the early 80s. I’m not exactly young either…
v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Same but Phantom Menace for me
Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Say what you will about the prequels, at least they’re not the sequels.

My aunt had a big cabinet full of home recorded tapes, our most favourites were the ones with BTTF, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the one with one and only episode of The Adventures of Sinbad.
rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Alaska, I really wanted to pilot that yellow Piper Cub.
Also something Tom&Jerry related.
Also something Mickey Mouse related.
Can’t remember much, TBF, because later there’d be a few DVDs with Master&Commander, LOTR, SW: RotS, making me forget everything before.

I’m gonna have kids just so I can make sure to raise them on the correct media diet. They’re getting all the classic video game consoles, in order of generation, so when they get to something like Elden Ring they have the context all the way back to Space Invaders to appreciate it. And we’re going to be a home of physical media, god damn it. We’re not streaming things. We’re putting CD’s and vinyls and blu rays in their respective players. No iPads. Only books, comics, coloring books and notebooks.
How the fuck did parents start giving their kids iPads, anyway? Nintendo Switches? My first Gameboy cost $90 and I bought it with my own birthday money. A children’s book from a young reader series cost $6 new in the 90s and is probably not much worse now. Less, if you buy it used, which is much easier now. And people are just like, “here, my 12 year old child, have an Xbox Series whatever, and an iPad, and a Galaxy phone. They’re all pre-connected to your YouTube account. Don’t let your other parent know that I told you we’re getting you a gaming PC, Logitech C920, condenser microphone, wireless headset, gaming chair, scissor arm, and LED lighting array so you can chase the completely impossible dream of being a professional streamer. Can I kiss your feet while I’m at it? Will that make this a good half-birthday for you?” Unfuckingthinkable. Knock it off.

I can’t recall my family having obscure movies. Don’t remember what it’s actually about, but I at least remember we had one Home On The Range VHS. Don’t recall ever watching it once, but this post made it come to the forefront of my memory
Thermal_shocked@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Judgement Night and Speed. I guess I got lucky, all my aunt had in the middle of fucking nowhere. Now two of my favorites
PowerGloveSoBad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That soundtrack was unreal. One of my first CD purchases as a little dude – got it in the Columbia House 0.99 “deal” lol.
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Little Monsters and a Herbie movie.

For me it was a VHS of the first four episodes of the Swamp Thing animated cartoon

I’m just barely old enough to relate to this
DagonPie@kbin.social 1 year ago
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.
Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 1 year ago
I feel this. Each night I have a handful of massive media libraries to choose from, and each night I choose something I know and like over anything they recommend.
Last night it was Iron Chef followed by Austin Powers
ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Yeah, about half the time when I sit down to watch a movie, it’s one from my childhood. It’s oddly comforting to me.
Cyclist@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My wife and I used to have Parents with Randy Quaid on VHS. I love that movie but I haven’t seen it in 20 years.
