Ravenbomb Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Fairly soon I'm gonna watch this movie (Band of Outsiders), which I got free on VHS, which got me thinking; I can't remember the last time I watched a movie on VHS. I've recorded some stuff when there was something else on at the same time that I wanted to watch, but that was like TV episodes or something, and now that I've got this DVD recorder with HDD, I doubt I'll have much use for the VCR at all. So: If you've completely switched from VHS to DVD, what was the last movie you watched on VHS?
Nighthawk Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Stuff that's not on dvd yet. The old Tales From the Crypt movie.
Masked Man of Mystery Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 If wrestling counts, I just bought Unforgiven 2002. I've got almost the entire "rise of Brock Lesnar" in 2002 from King of the Ring to No Mercy, all I need is Summerslam
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Dead Man on Campus. I've never seen it on DVD, and me and my girlfriend were looking for a movie to watch a) wasn't a horror movie (so that eliminate 80% of my DVD collection), and b) we haven't already seen a million times (thus eliminating the rest). I browsed through some of the tapes, saw Dead Man on Campus, and popped it in. Neither of us had watched it in years, so we laughed our fucking asses off at it. ESPECIALLY Cliff. Awesome Cliff quotes: -"You guys ever get horny? Like, sometimes I just...I just gotta...HUMP THIS LAMP...or SCREW THIS COUCH, YEAH!" -"Oh, they HATE IT when you do this!" (pulls a pistol out from his glove compartment and fires it at the police cruiser chasing him) -"OH, GOD! Where do you GET THIS SHIT?!" (with an oxygen mask while being loaded into an ambulance following his fall from his porch) -"Hey, lesbos, how's it hanging?" -"Whenever I'm on fire, I remember to STOP, DROP, and ROLL! I don't just stand there screaming like some chick!" -"...so I guess a blowjob is out of the question?" (after lighting a gil's hair on fire)
Art Sandusky Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 I watched Episode I on VHS a couple'a weeks ago, as well as old comedy specials I taped once. I don't mind using a VCR at all.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Lisztomania, 5 minutes ago, a favorite of mine. Roger Daltrey of the who as composer Franz Liszt, battling a vampire/nazi/zombie Richard Wagner for musical fame and the survival of the German people. I don't think it's on DVD.
razazteca Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Bubba Ho-tep. "I have a bag of sand in my head"
SuperJerk Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 I recently rewatched Jerry Maguire on VHS entirely in fast forward. I honestly couldn't remember a damn thing about that movie and watching something in fast-forward is a lot easier on VHS.
Ravenbomb Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Posted January 16, 2006 I just remembered; Brother's Keeper (90's documentary) late last year
Alro Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 I think it was Fellowship of the Ring about 3 years ago. If you count TV shows, I watch tapes all the time. I don't have a DVR and night classes really fuck up your viewing schedule.
Guest Smues Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. Since the DVD sells for WAY too much.
the max Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Quick Change Same here. It should be coming out on DVD soon.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Return of the Jedi -- can't remember when I saw it. I've taped a few shows like the Shield and NYPD Blue, but I'm not counting them.
Boon Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 The tape my uncle gave me of the WWE/Girls Gone Wild special- like a week after it came out.

Anakin Flair Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Nuremburg, if only because I haven't had the chance to get it on DVD yet. Other than that- Transformers: The Move about a year ago.
Gary Floyd Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Godzilla 1985. The product placement for Dr. Pepper in that movie cracks me up every time.
RepoMan Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Stepford Wives, b/c my ex really wanted to see it and the DVDs at Family Video were out.
CanadianChris Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Quick Change Same here. It should be coming out on DVD soon. Supposedly, it was released last August. I've seen other places where it hasn't been released or is being released sometime this year, too, though.
AndrewTS Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 I haven't seen the MST3K movie recently, but I have it on VHS too because the DVD is overpriced, bare bones, and has no chapter stops. I had gotten the VHS for about 5 bucks from a rental store selling its VHS stock. As for actually saw--Last Action Hero. The trailer of Arnie in Hamlet is the absolute peak, but still had lots of great lines. Benedict: I wonder if you could help me? Mechanic: Sure, what do ya need?. Benedict: Well... [benedict shoots him. He listens for a while, then shouts] Benedict: I have just shot someone; I did it on purpose. [listens some more, still nothing] Benedict: I said, I have just killed a man and I wish to confess! [listens some more, someone tells him to shut up. He looks pleased] The mayor: Jack, as mayor of this great metropolis, you and I have had our little tiffs, but this is the Lieutenant Governor. Lt. Governor: Slater, here's what I... Jack Slater: [breaks the Lieutenant Governor's nose] When the Governor gets here, call me. Jack Slater (shoots several bullets at taxi...is puzzled when it doesn't explode): I think the taxis are bulletproof.
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 That movie is the perfect action flick, which is sorta ironic considering it's a parody of action flicks. Arnold starring in a parody of his own movies. Best one-liner's out of any non-Bruce Willis action yarn, IMO.
The Electrifyer Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 Although I tape a lot of TV shows that I'm not home for, I honestly can't even remember the last movie on VHS that I watched at all.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 Monster Squad. Once a year. Every year. Where's my DVD already?
Gary Floyd Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 Monster Squad. Once a year. Every year. Where's my DVD already? I'm still waiting for proper DVD releases of Night of the Comet, Blood Diner, and Night of the Creeps
