So how is your VHS collection?

Started by WrathfulDwarf3 pages

The only tapes left from my VHS collection are adult videos.

I waited and waited until Crybaby came out on DVD before I gave away my entire VHS collection, my TV and my VCR. Figured that if I wanted to watch a movie I would do so on my laptop. That lasted like 6 months, then I had to break down and buy another TV - I missed it.

I actually still have all of mine! I can't toss them -- I have some really good classics!

I have an understanding with family and friends. When someone upgrades a VHS to DVD, we pass the VHS to someone who would really enjoy it.

Examples:
My parents upgraded The Burbs and Buckaroo Bonzai to DVD and gave me their VHS tapes.
I upgraded X-Men to DVD and gave the VHS to my sister.
My sister upgraded Se7en and Pulp Fiction to DVD and gave me her VHSes.
I upgraded Se7en and Pulp Fiction, gave Se7en to a friend who has never seen it before and gave Pulp Fiction to a friend who loves the movie, yet doesn't own it.

So I don't think my VHS collection will ever die completely, since a lot of them are hand-me-downs, bought from Hollywood Video's VHS clearance sale, or just movies I don't care enough to get the DVD of.

My VHS collection is about 100 and why the hell should I replace the lot for DVD, that's just a wast of money. I only replace those ones that are knacked.

still have all of mine, and slowly getting the dvd's for them .....

My CHS collection is getting replaced like American Airline's Boeing 727s where in the early 2000s. I still have them though I just never watch the VHS version - sort of retired in the downstairs cupboard

I have some out of print Playboy videos and a few movies. I'll probably keep them for nostalgia'sake.

Interestingly when I was robbed several years ago the thief neatly set my VCR aside and took the DVD player

shows how dead vhs is .

Mines extremely old and I still have it,havent bothered to get DVD yet. 😄 I need to soon though to keep up with the current times though because VCR'S pretty soon will be a thing of the past just like beta movies are.

i still have about 400 vhs but im trying to slowly replace the stuff that aint rare with dvds

I get rid of the VHS whenever my family buys the DVD, so our collection is dwindling

You should have brought it on dvd

no, this collection pack came out in the early 90's

Ohh ok u should upgrade then

I still hang on to them because I have over 200 VHS movies. And I re-buy very few of them on DVD because, let's face it, when I'm watching Ace Ventura, picture quality and graphics isn't exactly top priority.

I have 44 Vhs left

I've got all the disneymovies on VHS, the rest is DVD

VHS? What's that?

I have about 200 VHS movies at home and I don't plan on getting rid of any of them. The picture is just as good as any dvd I get and the movies are ridiculously cheap now. I went into hollywood video last weak and picked up 10 movies for $10. Plus I usually don't look at all of the special features or commentaries except for all of the huge action adventure type movies like Star wars and POTC.
