Cocktail with Tom Cruise, and Independence Day. I watched the fuck out of both of those movies in late Elementary/early Middle School.

Honestly my plan is to try and get copies of my family's old home videos
Might be interesting to see if any kids I have being able to see when I was their age has any effect on how they see me as their parent
My condolences to anyone who grew up with the movie Plague Dogs

Dude I remember getting so pumped up because of specials on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. In high school I loved being home to catch my favourite shows.
Aladdin
I still watch these movies that I used to own just on their respective streaming platforms. I cant tell you how many times I've rewatched the same handful of movies I had as a kid but in my adult years.

Maximum overdrive. We didn't tape it, but it was saved to our DVR for years.
How obscure are we talking ? Mine was Gandahar (1987). Try to beat that !
Captain Ron fam checking in!
EDIT: We also were frequent watchers of "Money Pit" and "The 'Burbs"....all movies which are pretty notable for..............being available for multiple watches.
Tell that to my daughter watching that soviet cartoon about penguins I had as a video tape over and over again on youtube
I tried to watch Jingle all the way with my kids today. They pointed out how stupid that movie is, but I didn't have a lot of choices back then. I don't miss those days of shitty choices.

It was a bunch of shitty animated films on DVD for me (with a couple of Disney and Dreamworks films added into the mix). It’s probably the cause of my love of physical media.
100%!!!
I co-host a podcast focused on superhero movies. Over breaks (summer and winter holidays) we'll typically do something different than our usual. This past summer we did a Jeff Bridges sci-fi double feature - Tron (the original) and Starman.
For this holiday season we just recorded an od pairing that I think could be called "what random VHS tapes did you grow up with?" The movies? Roadhouse and The Pirates of Penzance!
It was a direct to VHS release called "Berenstein Bears visit Sinbad in Shazam!". This was pretty close to Irontown. My mom said I had such an imagination with it and it was all static.
The Adventures of Milo and Otis! I wonder if it is streaming anywhere?
