Nothing will ever replace the feeling of looking for that one movie that you wanted to watch, meeting people that liked the same stuff as you, buying some pizza after renting the movie, etc.
I have a lot of physical media. It is mostly DvD's. I still do have VHS tapes, and two, or three VCR's. I would get more into VHS tapes if it was not for the fact that they do not age well, especially due to weather conditions, or after many uses. However, given that the price of a VHS tape at most thrift stores are only around 25 cents it is not a bad bet. I've got a few documentaries, like box sets on VHS. I have Casablanca, The Fellowship of the Rings; The extended Version, Gone with the Wind, The Goonies, and the box set of Back to the Future, The Terminator ect... There is something special about VHS.
i hate streaming cuz i gotta figure out what platform its on and subscribe to it and eventually the title gets removed and shuffled to another platform 😮💨
VHS tapes recently are starting to go up in price , Here in Pennsylvania, a lot of people are starting to buy them again.VHS is more than nostalgia, they are history and very comfortable to watch on a Friday night.Nothing like making popcorn 🍿 and putting in a VHS tape of ur choice.❤Great video.Everybody keep collecting those VHS tapes! 3:16
I was born in the early 80s and I still have a collection of VHS and will always have it. Same with dvds and blue rays, I love them all, also video games. There is a magical nostalgia behind it and it will always be a part of our history!
I have a question, do you know a company who cleans the white stuff (I think it's mildew) that gets on the VHS tape reel? Also, anyone who sells clear protection covers for VHS (the thick plastic ones that protect against light, dust, and stuff)? And maybe a company who sells VHS case covers - covers with the artwork on them?
wow glad to see this. I love it we need more people like this. I go back and watch the VHS myself hit hits home for me it's Nostalgia for me, I grew up in the 80s and 90s
I am surprised at that. I don't know what the hype is about. I have never missed VHS they never had good quality picture and never lasted long. They are junk. The only people that really want VHS back are those old farts who do not understand new technology and have money to burn. I
I agree with him. I believe VHS are starting to come back. I also have hundreds for sale on my website as well. I was born in the early 80s and grew up with them. Long live the VHS.
I find nowadays with streaming for movies it’s more of a waste of time…yeah hear the sound of clicking well browsing through. Its just nice to plug in a movie and watch it the old fashion way.
VHS & vcr’s bringing millions of dollars of revenue every year on eBay!! It’s time for somebody to make a VHS player for the market. It’s about the size of a VHS rewinder with a UHD connection that would be dope very simple and millions of these things would sell millions.😎🤘💯
This gets me so excited. I love physical media, especially vhs tapes. I love the smell of them and the feeling of popping it in your player and seeing the static on screen. 😅 I want to have an entire room someday dedicated to these things. It's nice to see a positive come from covid lol
I don't miss 80's/90's shlock horror a bit, but there's tons of movies on vhs/dvd that have not been digitized for streaming. Having a hard copy of a hard-to-find title is a form of insurance for posterity, especially if you digitize it yourself.
I was born in 1991 so I was the last generation to actually use tapes. My home videos of me groewing up were all on VHS using a 1988 Sharp Camcorder. I used to tape my favorite shows when I was a little kid. VHS is AWESOME!
I collect VHS tapes and have for the last 10 year, let's not kid ourselves rare VHS tapes are only going to go up in value just like sealed video games from the 90's did....
🎉🎉🥳🎉🎉 Loooooooooving this!!!! Right on!! Good for you!!!! 😀👍👍👍👍💯Bride of Chucky soooooo good!!! I still use my VCR and VHS collection. 😍😍😍 Cheers from Saskatchewan, Canada!!! 🇨🇦
I will always keep my VHS collection no matter what people say. I like the "there's Netflix" and "Streaming" services" have people just completely been brainwashed into not "owning" anything. Good lord.......
As someone also born in 1996 I get the craze. I’ve recently started gathering a few films on vhs after inheriting my late Nana’s vcr (and the small collection of vhs tapes she had). There’s something that just feels so great about putting one of those cassettes in instead of a disc or searching for it on streaming services. Just this week after finally cleaning it I’ve added a few more from scouring EBay. Don’t want to go too overboard as don’t have the room for too many of them.
Applaud the effort but those prices are nuts. Even rare or sealed VHS are only really worth a few bucks max. Even then you have to find the right person.
Question: Suppose VHS tapes start being made again. How will they look on a 16x9 screen, vs a 4x3? Will the image know how to stretch or compress (like a DVD)?
A bunch of misguided nostalgics and kids attracted to the allure of "retro" media a return does not make. Yep I am all for physical Media such as Blu -Ray that offers me my favourite movies in its best possible way in HD and great sound. I remember very well VHS and I have zero desire to watch a fuzzy, pan-scanned version of the movies I love.
I want people to show me where is vhs tapes are a problem yet I know there not a problem at all it's the people who is the problem not the vhs tape itself
People like myself are fixing a break vhs movies with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's everything proven vhs tapes don't lock up at all like internet does
everything proven when you do put Scotch tape on it you going have to cut off some the Scotch tape y little bit is going to show what does not need to be there
There is video's online now days how to fix one you have to put down how to fix a break vhs tape every other videos online will come up what you need to see online
Vhs tapes don't lock up at all 2 vhs tapes more healthy than internet 3 vhs tapes don't have picture quality problem's at all TV's causes problem's everything proven 4 vhs tapes don't have to be updated at all 5 vhs tapes more fixable with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's 6 vhs tapes don't stop playing at all like damage blue ray disc does 7 vhs tapes don't stop playing at all when they got mold on it 8 people keep there mode switch clean out like they should people will never have playing problem's at all with there VCR players everything proven online how clean out a mode switch in a VCR player

Vhs movies cleaning tapes VCR players VCR belts everything else is everywhere online now days off eBay and Amazon to bad if you don't like hereing the truth now days what you know nothing at all
People are lying people now days about blue ray disc movies doesn't get scratche up yet I have some myself and I know everything about blue ray disc movies doesn't play at all when they get scratche up bad enough
I’m totally with the physical media aspect, but I really don’t understand what’s so great about VHS when Blu Rays and 4K discs exist. It’s not even like vinyl records where you can argue for better quality. VHS is just a worse format.
Everything is proven people like myself are seeing people didn't let people know about mode switches in the old days and now days people like myself are seeing mode switches in VCR players need a cleaning out every now and then everything proven people only let people know about head's needs a cleaning yet people didn't let people know about mode switches in VCR players y people didn't want you to know your VCR player itself more keeping
Vhs tapes don't have picture quality problem's at all it's the people's thinking is the problem and the TVs everything proven people like myself and people like y'all don't know am whiching vhs tapes 7 days of the week and I don't see where they are the problem at all it's the people who is more the problem
Im sorry, but as someone who grew up watching movies on tape in the 70s/80s, I don't get this VHS resurgence trend. Watching movies on VHS back in the day - compared to the quality we now have on Blu Rays - was just awful. Picture degradation, tracking issues, colour bleeding and pan-and-scan framing. Yes, I get the nostalgia angle, but as a movie lover I'd rather watch my favourites using modern media in the best possible quality. The leap from VHS to DVD was truly generational, and now we have 4K and HDR, giving filmmakers the best opportunity to have their work seen as they intended. If you want to scratch that nostalgia itch, source a copy of your favourite movie on VHS, take it out of the box every now and again to feel the weight of it, then put it back on the shelf and watch it digitally. Blu rays are cheap too, they're physical and you can collect them and build a library.
I never liked Vhs, I don't get why some people have nostalgia for them, before you say something I grew up with them too, I watched all Disney movies while growing up and I never liked how this analog media would deteriorate over time, I was really happy when finally dvds arrived, most Dvds I have still work really fine unlike the Vhs formats. If I buy physical I go with dvd or Blu Ray
Lying people now days about blue ray disc movies doesn't get scratche up yet I have some myself that you can have and see for yourself that damage blue ray disc movies doesn't play at all like vhs movies does everything proven
Nothing will ever replace the feeling of looking for that one movie that you wanted to watch, meeting people that liked the same stuff as you, buying some pizza after renting the movie, etc.
Vhs’s, cd’s, dvd’s vinyl’s & cassette tapes are all coming back. Streaming is cool & all but there’s people out there who still loves analog tho.
CDs and DVDs are not analog.

Try rubbing alcohol or even better, 99% isopropyl!
@@CRAZYCANUCKTV is isopropyl better than alcohol?
Its just a pure form without an water diluting it. You can get less percentage of isopropyl with water in it
@@CRAZYCANUCKTV Today I got a lil bottle of the 91% isopropyl alcohol. That's how high a percentage Walmart had in stock.
wow glad to see this. I love it we need more people like this. I go back and watch the VHS myself hit hits home for me it's Nostalgia for me, I grew up in the 80s and 90s
Damn you!!! Now thanks to this video you got me collecting VHS all over again, besides old NES cartridge videogames and DVD...
Vhs tapes don't have to be updated at all like internet does
A real hero, amid the cost of streaming services deleting everything.

The best things about vcr is it’s universal any vhs tape will play in any vcr no matter what country you live in
Applaud the effort but those prices are nuts. Even rare or sealed VHS are only really worth a few bucks max. Even then you have to find the right person.
There are certain VHS titles worth thousands. That’s more than a few bucks
Mainly in the Americas did the tapes come in thin paper covers, in other parts of the world VHS covers were black or see-thru plastic boxes.
I don't know how VHS is having a revival but I like it 👍

The Concorde: Airport '79(1979) is a "bad movie". The music score by Lalo Schifrin was very good.
I taped King Charles's coronation on VHS back in May.
Do you have a store to buy from online if so what is the website ?
They deserve to return
