These were my Dad's VHS tapes. 90% of them are movies, most of them from the old Columbia House catalogs (remember those?), trips to places like Tower Video, and (later on) normal retail stores, and even old former rentals.
This doesn't even include the mass of scores of VHS tapes of a period of 26 years, where movies and all kinds of other stuff were taped from Cable TV, whether it was movies, comedy specials, cartoons, and music things of all sorts (concerts, documentaries, specials, compilations, etc.)
What I will be doing in these pages is opening up these drawers of tapes, going through them, and re-visiting ones that I haven't seen in years. There's quite a range to behold, and from various periods. This should be an interesting ride.
This might cover a variety of movies, but to be honest, it will mostly center around the movies we saw, acquired and/or recorded during the 1980's, not to mention this time being kind of a 30th anniversary of getting our first VCR, and the movies we saw at the time. But there will be plenty from later years. The collection, after all, never stopped growing during the subsequent time that followed. Some I haven't watched in years, some I've been really wanting to see for a while, and some I've even turned Geoffrey onto in the process.
We enjoyed a full range of the types of movies we watched, but we seemed to have more comedies than anything else. What the hell...we all had a naughty sense of humor, had gone through some rough seas, and could definitely use a laugh or six. And, boy, did we!
