    Who remembers the good old days of video? Even better, who remembers the days of retail videotapes with two films on them? As someone born in the mid-1980s, I remember how excited I was seeing this double-features in stores around the country.

    Can anyone list any two-film/one-video sets they either saw or owned in the days before DVD? I'll post a few examples here, with pictures, to refresh people's memories. If you know more examples, please name them. I'm in the mood for a nostalgia overload. Thanks. :)

    Awesome! I didn't have that VHS, but I certainly wore out the 'taped-off-the-telly' versions I had of Gremlins 1 and 2!

    I do love the surge of nostalgia you get when browsing a charity shop and coming across old VHS. The quality is obviously poor compared to DVD and Blu-Ray, but you can't beat those covers!

    I had this one.

    Weirdly enough there was an episode of the 1943 Batman Serial jammed in between the two movies.
