What was your LAST VHS purchase??

[Dave A]

At the local Blobfest today (The Blob was made a few hundred feet from my house) from a street vendor;

Star Wars Trilogy box set in widescreen.
MST3K The Movie.
Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (Goodtimes LP mode).
Gamera Guardian of the Universe.

Maybe we will live long enough to see VHS make the same comeback that vinyl has. There was another vendor who owns vhsps.com (VHS Preservation Society) picking up OOP VHS and xfering them to DVD.

And I met one Christopher Mihm who writes, produces and directs cheezy, original films in the style of the 50's horror and sci-fi. He is from Minnesota and has about 8 titles out there. I bought his DVD of "The Giant Spider"..."Eight creeping crawling legs of sheer terror!" Lots of extras and the audio is in English/Esperanto. Even the DVD case artwork is in the 50's screaming style of horror. If I can pull a few stills, I will post them in "off topic" with my review. Stay tuned.

Stay tuned.

I never knew, that classic movie, was made out East.
I think I have an original copie of it.
Until I got the movie, I haven't seen it, for like 30 years.
I think the people that were there, were more concerned about the small dog, than the people, that were consumed by the blob.

Scored a nice pile of VHS tapes today at the thrift store. Some are still sealed! Luckily, I solved my flagging issue--only some tapes were causing that issue, but I though it was the equipment.
Anyway, here is the list:
Laurel & Hardy-Utopia
The Matrix
A Clockwork Orange
Dial M for Murder
Timecop
Eddie Murphy-Delirious
Deep Blue Sea
Secret Window
Passenger 57
Late Last Night
Reality Bites
Alien (3rd copy)
Wall Street (my favorite movie of all time, 4th copy)
The Haunting
total price= $10.99

You scored some great movies there!
I looked high and low for Delirious. Finally found one about a year ago. The family cook-out skit, still has me cracking up.

Was out yesterday and picked up these:

The Mask (1994 Jim Carrey)
Big Bully (1996 Rick Moranis/Tom Arnold)
The Animatrix (2003)
Youngblood (1986 Rob Lowe/Patrick Swayze)

Haha, Aunt Bunnie..I was always a fan of comedy in general, and Eddie Murphy really had the audience roaring with Delirious. I watched it that same night I bought all those tapes. It played great luckily! I'm surprised someone let it go...Even if you dump your vcr, it's tough to part with classic tapes like this one in my opinion!

I've said it many times before, "People are fools". It's good for us though.
One of the other movies, I was seeking, "Cheech and Chong's next movie.
The welfare office scene and the way they harassed the neighbor, next door.
I don't know how someone couldn't get a laugh out of that!

Today I got Close Encounters of the third Kind - 1977

I was happy to spot this today... A couple weeks ago there was another copy of this movie there but it was a newer one that had been DIGITALLY MASTERED and I dont want that crap!!!!!

This is a special edition,I guess it includes the whole movie (No cuts) a re-release in the early 80s...... I havent seen this in 25+ years! (Im glad to have found an original/unmolested copy)
