probably something taped off the tv

I remember watching Robocop on the sly before it was returned. I got as far as the part where he gets shot to bits then had nightmares for the rest of that year.

I remember myself and my parents got the bus to Dublin, Dad was too nervous to drive in there and VCRs were way dearer in Galway, there was only one electronic shop in Galway at the time and they took full advantage of the monopoly!

We got a Salora VCR and he never told me what it was, the first time I watched a Video was when I was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and when it was over Dad asked if I wanted to watch it again!

First movie I watched was He Man!

I bought my Dad a Saorview PVR recently and he was like me on the day when I watched the Turtles! Pure excited!

Watership down and a music video of The Stranglers singing Golden Brown. We sang Golden Brown in a shakey voice for years because the tracking was off and we thought that was the way it was meant to be

kfallon · 15-09-2011 11:16PM

Rambo - First Blood!

I remember we got a copy of Back To The Future and I watched it every day for about 3 weeks, everytime I hear this song I'm reminded of it

Back in my day before we could afford one we rented one for the first time ever for the weekend, I distinctly remember my dad having to give a 50 POUND deposit for the vhs recorder as an insurance thing!

Back then there was no xtravision, it was a video store, we rented Ghostbusters, Teenwolf and something else I can't remember, I remember even getting up at the crack of dawn to repeatedly watch them all again the next day.....

Good times....

I laugh every time I read that! Brilliant!

Giselle · 15-09-2011 11:29PM

It was Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

I wore that tape out

General General · 15-09-2011 11:32PM

Possibly Crocodile Dundee... first one I got out for myself, I think, was Angel Heart, so I could see Lisa Bonet in the 'all together'.

Id say the neighbours for miles around could hear us crying for those poor bunny rabbits, we were traumatised but still watched it over and over because we had nothing else to watch, haha.

Darby O' Gill I think.

Remember the video piracy/rating warnings.

"..scenes of sex or violence..".

scudster · 15-09-2011 11:59PM

Think the first one I seen was The Goonies. Classic!:D

7sr2z3fely84g5 · 15-09-2011 11:59PM

admiralofthefleet · 16-09-2011 12:28AM

i think it was robocop, i loved it and still do

Standard Toaster · 16-09-2011 12:31AM

I'm pretty sure we had a Ferguson Videostar, top loader jobbie with the remote on a wire. No long play

later12 · 16-09-2011 12:32AM

It's one of my earliest memories.

It was 1990 and I was invited to a birthday party with my sister to one of her friend's birthdays, and while the girls watched 'All Dogs Go To Heaven' on the brand spanking new VHS in the sitting room, us boys were supposed to play cowboys and indians or something outside.

Well having reached the age of 4, & old enough to know that freckle faced Irish toddlers looked nothing like native americans, I snuck in behind the setee during a Coca Cola and lion-bar snackbreak for the girls, and lavished in my first ever experience of the glorious VHS.

Simon Adebisi · 16-09-2011 12:33AM

Poison Ivy - Michael J.Fox in a summer camp. I remember it as being good but ive a feeling it was brutal.

aido 1976 · 16-09-2011 01:18AM

Star Wars, can't remember the year. It was a pirated copy and watched it with a bottle of lemonade and a pack of crisps. In a well known Dublin 8 pub.
I was only a nipper, but still remember it

Adyx · 16-09-2011 01:26AM

Can't remember the first, but I know we used to rent the VCR. We used to rent Simpsons videos too because we had 2 channels even in the early 90's. Used to rent Sega Megadrives too.
