My aunt had a big cabinet full of home recorded tapes, our most favourites were the ones with BTTF, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the one with one and only episode of The Adventures of Sinbad.

I can't recall my family having obscure movies. Don't remember what it's actually about, but I at least remember we had one Home On The Range VHS. Don't recall ever watching it once, but this post made it come to the forefront of my memory
My wife has never seen home alone. She can quote the second one...
"It's Christmas for me"
She's a monster.
Ours was The Ugly Dachshund.
Even though it was from 1966, I think the youngest person in it was Mako.
I couldn't find a single person from it who is still alive.
It's on Disney+. It's not great, but it was on a tape my parents used to put on for me so they could be undisturbed for an hour. I didn't even like the film that much, but there were two Chip and Dale cartoons at the end, so I watched it to get to them.

for me, that will be the random movie my brother asked me to download to my jellyfin server years ago.
Mine was Labrynth, Aladin 3 and the George Clooney Batman.
The Glowfriends FTW
For me it was a VHS of the first four episodes of the Swamp Thing animated cartoon
Mine was Despicable Me and we had it on BluRay

I'm gonna have kids just so I can make sure to raise them on the correct media diet. They're getting all the classic video game consoles, in order of generation, so when they get to something like Elden Ring they have the context all the way back to Space Invaders to appreciate it. And we're going to be a home of physical media, god damn it. We're not streaming things. We're putting CD's and vinyls and blu rays in their respective players. No iPads. Only books, comics, coloring books and notebooks.
How the fuck did parents start giving their kids iPads, anyway? Nintendo Switches? My first Gameboy cost $90 and I bought it with my own birthday money. A children's book from a young reader series cost $6 new in the 90s and is probably not much worse now. Less, if you buy it used, which is much easier now. And people are just like, "here, my 12 year old child, have an Xbox Series whatever, and an iPad, and a Galaxy phone. They're all pre-connected to your YouTube account. Don't let your other parent know that I told you that for Christmas we're getting you a gaming PC, Logitech C920, condenser microphone, wireless headset, gaming chair, scissor arm, and LED lighting array so you can chase the completely impossible dream of being a professional streamer. Can I kiss your feet while I'm at it? Will that make this a good half-birthday for you?" Unfuckingthinkable. Knock it off.
