Can remember the Dad renting a video machine about the mid 80s and having lamb on video, seriously depressing crap. It was a top loading video player that had no recording function!

I remember smokey and the bandit was the only video we had and watched it a lot

TheDriver · 15-09-2011 10:42PM

remember pressing the "tracking" button where white lines would go up and down the screen!

VHS was great. I had a video recorder up until recently and would, every now and again watch some of my favourite old movies on VHS - they just feel better than DVD / Blue Ray.

TheDriver · 15-09-2011 10:47PM

What kind of music do you have here? We have both kinds Country AND Western!

Caveman1 · 15-09-2011 10:47PM

Found a porn video on the way home from school one day, wasn't the 1st one I seen but definitely the most memorable

drunkmonkey · 15-09-2011 10:47PM

Porky's - Only one mate had a video player and we all piled into to watch it. First time I remember selling boobs on the TV I think.

I had a Thomas the tank engine video that I used to watch religiously 3 or 4 times a day as a child. The parents used to always rent videos on a Saturday night and the odd time id be allowed to stay up and watch too, would never manage to stay awake till the end though.

Debbie does darndale it was a home made one

slavetothegrind · 15-09-2011 10:52PM

can't remember the first but Phantasm had an impact, a classic if i say so myself.
Also remember toploaders and jugs of water on top so they worked!!!

My friend when i was young was the first to have a player and his dad backed betamax so we endured an ever diminishing choice of movies until he relented and got a vhs.

Rocky 4 was the first one I ever saw on VHS. We had to rent the video player from the shop. Took ages to get it tuned in and working.

mookishboy · 15-09-2011 10:53PM

E.T on Betamax about 6 months before it hit the cinema at a neighbours
no idea how he got it but it was pretty cool at the time

whatsamsn · 15-09-2011 10:53PM

Rambo 2

My dad bought a VHS player in 1989. Its freaky how I remember that. Was only a few years old.

Oddly enough the first DVD I watched was Cobra when I bought a ps2. Whats with the sly stallone movies?

Christ, now I know the reason for the times they wouldn't let me stay up and watch..:eek:

El Weirdo · 15-09-2011 10:55PM

Poltergeist. Top-loading video recorder, too. Loud cluck when you loaded the cassette and lots of clunking and whirring when you pressed any button.
