I last got the movie back to the future (1985) on VHS the other day....
It was in a bin of home made VHS tapes @ salvation army (THEY WERE NOT GONNA BE PUT UP AS THEY WERE NOT THE OFFICAL TAPES OF MOVIES (People recorded them from cable TV))
This tape was recorded 4/1/87 off analog cable (HBO) and is beautiful...... I have had the 3 parts of back to the future on their official tapes for awhile but all 3 are DIGITALLY RECORDED and look like crap to me...... I forgot about pay channels having thier own analog masters of movies in the 80s... (The only place I knew of is videodisc to get the first part IN ANALOG.. I had forgotton about pay TV services))
I am quite glad the guy let me go thru this bin...... (THEY WERE SENDING IT BACK OUT,WERENT GONNA PUT ANY UP WHICH IS SAD but in todays world you cant take a chance on someone getting porn,etc (THEY ALL SADLY CANT BE VERIFIED (Too many)
))
I got 2 excellent movies out of that bin before It was taken..... I also got THE FUGITIVE - 1993 (In SP mode) the day before also recorded off analogue cable (HBO) and this one has a very special treat @ the start of the movie! (That beautiful intro HBO used to have where they go over a city) See it below!!
