I vaguely remember this text from a meme or a comment from somewhere. If this was already posted in lemmy itself, I apologise for reposting.

On VHS…
A lot of old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, The Lion King, Rocky Horror Picture Show
Things like that.
On golden pond was one I remember watching often.
I’m old enough that for me it was VHS. These are a few:
Watching Mac and Me on repeat is officially a Guantánamo Bay torture method. /s
Unless you’re Paul Rudd.
It hits different when you’re the torturer.
I’ve watched a few childhood favorites only to have the magic ruined. I’ll leave Mac and Me back there lol
Yeah, it was “none” for me because DVDs didn’t exist in my childhood. Well, at least not in my home.
VHS - Howard the Duck
I still quote that movie and I am convinced not a single person I have ever met has seen it.
Either they have seen it but were so traumatized they can never speak of it, or they assumed it was a fever dream (“duck boobs? Nah, I must’ve dreamt that…”).
But yes, I saw it several times as a kid yet couldn’t stand 5 minutes of it as an adult. Such a profoundly awful movie with bizarrely good special effects.
The principal from Ferris Bueller gets possessed by an alien and there’s a talking duck-man.
What a wild ride. I’m going to have to watch it again soon.
DVD? walks my pet dinosaur out of the room
Really though, Labyrinth is the one that comes to mind.
lol DVD. We had VHS growing up.
We had an old Spanish movie called “La Princessa Hippie”. It was a comedy with a silly story, along the lines of something like the Prince and the Pauper. We didnt really understand the story or the comedy. But there were a lot of funny one liners.
I think we also had Problem Child 2 that we copied off another tape, and a cheap tape that we picked up at the store with a bunch of cartoons that were public domain.
At my grandmother’s house, it was Babes in Toyland. No it’s not a porn. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0090683/
Muppet Treasure Island, and “Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends Ep.16 - A Fire Star is Born!”
On VHS, of course!
Superman 2
My brother and I were bored out of our minds for an entire summer together staying with our mom in a pretty remote location during the summer. She would be at work and we would be at her house with nothing to do. We watched it so much we could recite 100% of the dialogue before they said it. Kinda like Rocky Horror
Tron
Multiple Star Trek movies
RobocopAll on VHS, recorded with our excellent Mitsubishi VCR
VHS, Care Bears rainy day off, and TV recordings of various other cartoons. I grew up on network television with a heavy focus on The Simpsons.
We had the second Care Bears movie on the same VHS tape as A Wish For Wings That Work, the Bloom County adaptation briefly featuring Robin Williams as “Sudy Nim.”
Dark Heart might’ve been a bisexual awakening.
