EXCELLENT MOVIE!

Last VCR was Mitsubishi HS-U446. Last VHS I bough were copies of The Mind's Eye and beyond the Mind's Eye. Last movie rented was Dr. Zhivago, as they did not have it on DVD.

I look back now and wonder how we ever tolerated VHS. :p

I last got these movies yesterday

1) You only live twice (1967) -- EXCELLENT MOVIE!!
2) Enemy Territory - (1987) -- OK MOVIE
3) The Chase (1994)

This movie is an example of a transfer they didnt do right..... @ the very top its a different colour thru most of the movie.. (They must have had other equiptment TOO CLOSE to the unit while they were copying it (Like when you place a magnet too close to the screen)) -- Its sad they didnt notice this!! (If they did maybe they could have re-done it) -- It was OK,not that good though....... (Just a car chase thru the whole movie)

4) Its a wonderful life (1946?)-- I had a 1999 release of this movie by ARTISAN i got a couple months ago and it was aweful!! (Flat,etc) -- I couldnt watch it,it obviously had been altered..... I got rid of it!

Yesterday i found a 1993 release from REPUBLIC PICTURES and its 1000% better! (The original recording) I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!

Last NEW title bought on VHS? That's easy.

PINK FLAMINGOS by John Waters. I bought it on the day it was released around 1999 or so.

Such a twisted movie.

I've given away to thrift stores most of my VHS collection around 900 tapes. I've still got several hundred keeper recordings, and 4 or 5 nice low-mileage machines to play them on.

Still got some Beta stuff, too, and 3 really nice machines for them, too.

I thought pink flamingos was older than 99.. I saw it, and yea, that's a seriously messed up movie.

It was made in 1972. This was the release with outtakes.

Divine was my favorite.

I think my last VHS purchase was a blank to record MST3K's on. It was quite a while ago.

My last purchase was today: TANGO AND CASH!! (I got a bunch of tapes for christmas and this was one of them but sadly it was "DIGITALLY MASTERED" -- This one i found today IS THANKFULLY NOT!!)

Good movie!!

Blake's 7 with the last two episodes Warlord and Blake , i have the series on vhs from pbs in the 80's but couldn't find the last two episodes ( i think the taped was tossed on me ) so i bought it from ebay , all these including the vhs tape were bounced to discs .

shortly before that i bought a JVC used hi fi player from ebay with sqpb , HS-A51U , these are great for sharp image playback and even svhs looks good although not as good as when played on a svhs vcr.

btw i have that its a wonderful life vhs , it might even be newer , looks nice but when i got the recent remastered dvd i must say its even more wonderful , you get the colorized one too and its a joke , i can't sit through it , less contrast , less clarity.

I got these movies today

Friday the 13th (1980)
Nightmare on Elm Street (1985)
Deadly Friend (1986)
Police Academy (1984) -- It was a treat finding this today!! (Before today all i could find was a "DIGITALLY MASTERED" copy of this movie which i didnt want!)

Police Academy Part 1 is incidently THE BEST MOVIE in that series!!

A month or 2 ago I purchased "The Charmkins" on VHS from a thrift, which is a children's cartoon from 1983

I still have a load of the VHS tapes from when they were first released in the 1980's.

The pilot starred Jeff Hunter. It was made into a 2-parter show... (#16-1, and #16-2) the show where Spock is being tried in court.

I ran 16mm prints of the original series on TV for alot of years.

Man trap was the first to air on nbc because it was a planet episode with colorful scenes , funny because its one of the few monster episodes and it was a show being promoted as the first adult space drama and not a monster of the week show.

i have some of those trek tapes if your interested , i'm not going to hold onto them
