With the death of video rental many have built up large collections of DVD and VHS titles, but which items in your collection do you particularly cherish? I like the '80s style of The Wraith.:cool:

My girlfriend's parents always watch Korean dramas on VHS. I think that's the only way you can get some of them.

I spoke to someone the other day who didn't know what a VHS was and I wept a little bit because it made me feel pretty past it

My VHS collection is one of my most prized possessions. While I have my DVD's stored away, my VHS collection is still in my room.

I couldn't pick a single VHS that I cherish the most. I am quite proud of having nearly every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie on tape. Would be gutted if I lost them.

There used to be a VHS rental place near my house. rented my fair share of 1980s classics -

Some of my VHS tapes don't work anymore, but I luff them. I remember when Titanic was like three or four VHS tapes and Sound of Music was five. Shit was crazy.

My nice VHS player broke a few years back. :( I'll have to take a peak at my collection, but my favorite is probably my VHS copy of Akira 'cause it was the first tape I bought, and the first anime I bought.

My Angel Cop VHS is a close second.

I've got the original Star Wars trilogy box set on VHS. My parents gave it to me after they got the DVD version. I imagine the videos will stop working at some point, but I bet they'd still be worth at least a little bit.

Guys, remember going to video stores way back in the day? How they had a Betamax section? And remember those GIGANTIC laser discs? Good times.

1988 Batman is probably my favorite VHS.

Back to the future trilogy Boxset on VHS and the entire Neon Genesis series on vhs. Some of the spine art is nice for display but i dont think it has much more worth than that.
