Perfect

Robin was such an amazing person. I want to cry anytime I see him or watch his movies, I miss him so much.

I agree... lol

Guilty as charged!

When you get a perfect picture but your finger sticks out in the corner…

Dear other generations: Just in case you forgot, we drank from garden hoses. Sincerely, GenX.

Hey you guys!

I got to spin the wheel once (relative works for CBS & he was giving us a backstage tour). It's *really* heavy.

I have this and I’m a teenager

and it is resistant, since the 70s, we are in the 4th generation to play with, still works "Ding!" !

My car still has these

I used to be a smoker, still hated people smoking where I was eating back then.

The MARVELLOUS! THE MAGICAL!!! MAD MAD MAD MAD MADAM MIM!!! XD

And I don't want them back

Remember when Netflix used to post you cds from your list of 20 favourited films?

Be kind, rewind.

Where are the "beta" tapes?

I was doing this all through the 90's, too.

Lol I can practically smell this picture. I can feel those stickers.

Heck no, I don't want them back! Rewinding, ff-ing, review-ing (rewind on picture) and then getting the tape stuck in the machine? Pass. (Did anybody else have a small screwdriver they used to open up tapes and swap out the reels? Just me?)

Excuse me Miss, do you sell any videos in Beta?

Have this

Yeah, and it sucked. From a boomer who grew up with ONLY broadcast channels, 7 of the to be exact.

This is the best tbh. Could still do it. No monthly fee. It's always there. Could tape over it. And as long as you didn't show em to the general public it's completely legal to record movies for home use. This right here is Gold

80s only?! Born in '82 my heydays of using VHS / infiltrating the local video rental weekly was mid to late 90s... Damn, how do I miss the times when at the rental store and discussing movies with the clerks. Or taping some movie on TV and "editing" out the commercials just to find out that I was recording another cut / altered TV version... time and effort spent for nothing but c**p lol

For when a storm took out the aerial antenna

I still have them and the rewinder you used to rewind them back to the start of the movie.

I went thru those a few years ago - massive trash day

VHS? Pah. Some of us were stuck on Betamax.

I was wondering where I left those!

Biggest worry was recording something when you forgot to take the tape out of the VCR and started watching TV.

Oh my gosh YES!!!!!

My mom was The Queen of video taping stuff! She would simultaneously watch a show, while taping on a different channel AND have a VCR recording stuff in my room! She was into way too many shows, lol! She would have loved Netflix and Hulu

Anyone else remember when the Cinema lineup would be printed in the paper, and you'd have to double check to make sure you got the right movie and time? 😂

Wow, great selection here! Love it!!

I saw a video store in Idaho today and was totally speechless

Don't miss them

Netflix is way better

So many great movies, worth watching over and over again.

And in the 90s...technically blockbuster was Netflix lol

Still own a VCR, but no tapes.

I still have my player! I love watching movies from the 80s/90s but the jokes haven't aged well...

blank label tapes were the best. Cartoons or your friends parents home made porn?

There was always one titled "mums tape - do not tape over!" . It was usually something rubbish that got taped over.

I remember this, and I want them back! I 1000% would convert all of my digital movies and songs to VHS and audio cassette, specifically because a Walkman doesn't require a friggin CHARGER! And half the fun of watching VHS was having a few minutes while the tape rewound to go to the bathroom and get a snack before you could start the next one.

Now if only I had a vcr that had a bottomless stomach....

I recently went to a high school reunion. Those of us who are still alive are turning 75 this year. :)

Those were also table footballs
