Rough Cut with Burt Reynolds, Lasley-Anne Down and David Niven a comedy caper with Reynolds as a gentleman thief. Quite fun it was too and cost only 50p from a local charity shop a couple of weeks ago.
I honestly can't remember. My video player is in my cupboard collecting dust and I'm strongly considering getting rid of my last few tapes because I just can't stand the clutter.
Lost for words. It was before it had been released onto DVD & so I bought the video in order to tape it onto DVD in order for my Mum to watch who no longer had a video player. Not long after they released it onto dvd so I needn't have bothered. :rolleyes:
The film "pumping iron" in my garage gym the other day. I often use it for motivation and have an old tv/video combo thing. I still have loads of vhs tapes. I'm not all that fussed about picture quality tbh, they still look fine to me.
Yesterday I watched 'Saturday Night Fever' PG version, 1987 CIC Video.
Tuesday I watched 'The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad'
Monday I watched 'Back To The Future II' CIC Video ex-rental from SPAR supermarket
Sunday was 'You Only Live Twice' on widescreen tape.
Saturday was 'Leap Of Faith' with Steve martin on another ex-rental (middle was chewed up)
I haven't kept many VHS tapes, but that's one I re-watch every year. It was made just before the Falklands War, is presented by a former Admiral of the Fleet, and is very interesting.
The only VHS tape I've bought since 2000 is 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. It's a 1976 nine hour miniseries on three cassettes. I bought it last year from a YMCA charity shop, for 20p. Haven't gotten around to watching it yet.
Still own a copy of The Muppet's Christmas Carol on VHS that my gran gave me the Christmas before she died. Was really close to her and it's sort of a treasured posession to me. It was probably that, can't be sure.
Funny enough I watched 'Scanners' the other day on VHS with Michael Ironside in it. Found it at a car booty and got it for 50p which I thought was worth it. Absolute classic film and totally original. Oh the nostalgia
I've also got 'Class of 1999' on VHS as well but ain't watched that for a while. Awesome film though
I was fairly early in getting a DVD player - 1999 - so I think after then the only thing I watched on VHS was a personal recording of a family event from 1997. Once I got a combi DVD recorder in 2005, I transferred it to DVD and haven't watched anything on VHS since. I don't know how people can still watch VHS; the visual quality is diabolical.

I find that I notice the inferior picture quality at first, but soon get used to it. It's the same with any video I'm watching, whether it be on Youtube, DVD, VHS etc. I have a lot of DVDs, and picture image quality varies so enormously from disc to disc, that it isn't really an issue for me.
Also, that 'Sea Power' programme I mentioned has never been released on DVD, and I don't think it's been re-shown on tv since 1981. No other way to watch it apart from VHS.

Meh, you haven't lived until you've seen the superb audio and visual quality afforded by JVC and their S-VHS system.
Anyone here ever 'upgrade' to S-VHS? Still got my JVC jobbies and they're going strong! Only downside was finding S-VHS tapes which were rare as hen's teeth back in the day, never mind now..
Rubbish compared to anything modern but still surprisingly good on short play.
Vhs was rubbish anyway - Beta was much better, last used a couple of months ago, still working 30 year old VCR
Betamax was the better format in the 1970s but was totally outclassed for picture and sound quality in the 1980S when VHS machines became available with 4-6 heads which is why the ancient Betamax system died a sudden death.
Not bad audio but the picture quality is not good with at least one tape guide being way off in the machine. Hard to make a good comparison really since the information has been digitally transferred to Utube

I love it when I watch a recorded film and things like TFI Friday appear after it. Even the adverts seem better.

Home-recorded VHS is...but commercially prerecorded, played through a scart lead is as good as the VAST majority of internet downloads
No idea, can't remember, years.
However still make use if DV
