What was the first film you ever saw on VHS?

We had Betamax!

I think it was Flash Gordon taped off the telly. This was around the time videos had just come into existence, and my mum thought the police would come round and arrest us if we kept the tape for longer than the two months you're supposed to be allowed.
 
The Goonies baby yeah!!! I was 4 and my parenst just gotten married and got a VHS player as a wedding present. They recorded it off the TV and let me watch it the next day. It's still one of my favourite movies ever!!
 
For some reason i've always remembered what the first Vhs movie i ever saw was.

It was "The Muppets Movie" i would have been 4 or 5 years old at the time.I also remember the first video recorder we had.It was a black bulky top loader you had to press play & record at the same time if you wanted to tape something.
 
A friend of mine had a monstrously huge and heavy Sony Betamax in 1981 and we went into town so he could buy his first pre-recorded tape for it. He chose 'Alien'. The quality was piss poor and it cost him over
 
I can't remember the first film I saw on video - I do remember my dad, who worked for DER at the time, bringing home one of the first top loaders, with those big peg buttons. The remote control was wired in, and only allowed you to start and stop recordings!

The first film I can definitely remember watching was The Wizard of Oz. We'd just got one of the first in-screen forward/rewing machines, multi-speed, too. I had hours of fun making the house take off and land at various speeRAB. :o Wel, when you're under 10, anything like that's fun! :D
 
Red Sonja

And i thought it was the most amazing film ever. still love it too. but every time it is on TV they always cut the bit where red sonja cuts of the wizarRAB head and it goes flying through the air and the bl;ood spurts out the top of his neck! I thought that was great!!! We all cheered! (I was about 10)
 
i cannot remember exactly what i saw first on video, it was probably friday the 13th, but i do know that A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET was the first video we ever rented from a video store. Back to friday the 13th, i think iwas only 11 at the time and from then on got hooked on the friday the 13ths, JASON RULES.
