On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Prob Total Recall!

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They were thinking of making a Minority Report adaptation (with Arnold, not Cruise) as the sequel to Total Recall, with the mutant Martians as the precogs. Could have been a fun one!

Wait, we posting VHS pics now? Is my hoarding about to pay off in sweet, sweet internet points?

...no, because that would require me digging things out. >_>

Make what disappear?

[–] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 days ago

Enemy at the gates is so good. And I don't like war movies usually.

Did you guys never get plastic cases for your VHS tapes? Were they always cardboard sleeves?

Here in the UK, they were always in plastic cases.

It varied, really. A lot of the Disney films we owned were in the plastic cases (probably other ones, as well; just don't remember anymore, at this point) and others had the cardboard sleeves.

I don't remember it leaning one way or the other, particularly.

Why were they at the office?

[–] Atomicbunnies@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

No idea. A lot of them were aviation related. I work as a mechanic. I'm guessing they were left over from back in the day.

Edit: there was three boxes of tapes

[–] KalSeth@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

I am guessing most of them are taped over with porn. or your boss is overly dramatic.
