-48 Hours and Local Hero recorded off The Movie Channel around 1985 or so, even came with an original Scotch hard shell VHS protective case
-3:15, one of my favorite 1980s gang movies (original 1986 Media release, never released on DVD or Bluray)
-Scanners (later MGM release)
-Tons of other thrillers and erotic thrillers, many of which were never released on DVD/Bluray

I really like collecting the older home recorded stuff, the oldest I found recently was from 1981 (NFL game Broncos-Chargers) and found a huge lot of boxing and home recorded made for TV movies from 1979-1985, and all played great no joke! I swear the older blank tapes were built better than the crap that was made post 1990. I used to buy the TDK T160s in bulk in the early 2000s and my Panasonic deck would eat alot of them, but not the older stuff.
Older decks can eat newer tape and older tape can eat newer decks....
