I once had the flu so badly I couldn't get out of bed or yell for help. My parents put on "Flushed Away" (movie about some fuckin rats) on dvd and it looped at least 4 times before anyone came back to turn it off. One of my core traumas

When we moved to the middle of nowhere and couldn't even get channels over the air, my sister and I wore through every tape in the house.
The worst was being 9 years old desperately trying to find the second half of Lonesome Dove because you only got most of the episodes on some random VHS.
We must have worn the sound off of The Princess Bride, splash, Aladdin and the little mermaid. For a 9 year old boy living in the hinterlands after growing up in a city, Ariel singing "I want to be where the people are" hit me right in the feels.
I lived overseas when I was a kid and my grandma used to tape Saturday morning cartoons and mail them to me
Bringing in the deep cuts:
- The Peanut Butter Solution
- DARYL
- Ewoks; The Battle for Endor
- Enemy Mine
- Police Academy and The Blues Brothers (edited for broadcast TV)
Enemy Mine is a sentimental favorite of mine
Ours was "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". I don't know why nor where but one day my step dad showed up with this movie for us. It was the only "kids" movie we ever own and we watched it a 1.000 times. looking back it wasn't as inocent as I thought at the time, but it was the 90s. Another movies we loved?! Howard the Duck ( the movie where Marty Mcfly mom fucked a duck) So yeah the 90s were kind of weird and had a lot of inapropriate movies for kids.
Brave little toaster. And fievel goes west.
My father was a film historian. We had so many obscure movies on tape. I've seen tons and tons of movies, although not in the last 10-15 years in terms of recent ones.
I used to have a party trick where I would have someone open a random page of Leonard Maltin's movie guide and start listing titles and I could almost always summarize the plot of at least one.
I remember calling into the radio station and requesting a song. And then sitting around with friends waiting to hit record on our boombox!
