So, I've got a VCR in my home system mostly because I could get one free from work (Sony SLV-N700), my kids have a few VHSs, and because I like the ability to play different formats when possible. This served me in good stead this evening, when the family watched the Japanese-language version of Totoro. The VHS was from '96, based on the trailers. It belongs to my kid's preschool library, and it's probably been borrowed (and played) a TON of times since then. No matter--despite some alignment issues (sound and picture) during the first couple of trailers, this tape settled down and looked GREAT during the main feature presentation. The colors were so rich, and the sound, played through my Sherwood RX-4109 receiver and JBL P20 speakers, was also wonderful.

So, what are YOUR favorite videotapes?
