    DVDs didn't exist during most of my childhood. Xbox was our first DVD player.

    VHS would have been All Dogs Go To Heaven (Charlie was my first crush and I'd still let him wreck me) or Disney's Robin Hood (he can also wreck me)

    DVD was probably The Matrix (mentally wrecked me, slightly)

      Multiple movies on VHS that we recorded off the TV and the movie was shortened/missing entire scenes to fit the allotted run time for television. There are still some old movies I'll somehow end up watching again now and I'm like "I don't remember THIS part!"

        The Talking Parcel - I don't think I've found anyone else who's seen this. Girl finds a singing parcel washed up on the beach, opens it up and a parrot comes out and leads her to a magical world that's been conquered by cockatrices. She and the parrot need to save the land, and go on a magical quest.

        Had it on video, taped off of the TV. Watched it regularly in childhood. Also episodes 1-3 of Terrahawks.

          Midnight Run (1988) but it was a VHS. Possibly the only movie I have watched more than twice, and I have watched a lot of movies. Very random.

          That is a good fucking movie. It should be more well known than it is. I could definitely watch that repeatedly. I could probably watch an hour and forty five of just Charles Grodin doing absolutely nothing and still laugh my ass off.

            I come from a struggling background. We didn't have a vhs until I was at least 8y/o. When we got it, we couldn't afford purchasing the tapes so we rented occasionally. Therefore I never watched anything on repeat like that.

              DVD? Fuck! I'm too old. It was a Betamax.

              I had two movies that I watched hundreds of times, the first one was Young Frankenstein and the other one was Banana Joe with Bud Spencer.

                Michael Jackson Moonwalker, and it was a VHS. I watched it so many times the tape snapped. No regrets. Later in life I met one of the music videos directors randomly when he came into my bar. We geeked out about the video and it was super cool. For anyone interested, it was Jim Blashfield. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Blashfield

                      Instance checks out? Though that result is better than being scarred for life by ADGTH* like so many other children were.

                        Judgement Night (1993) and Speed (1994). Two of my favorite movies to this day, we wore those VHS tapes out. Aunt lived in the desert and when we visited, there was these, and MTV, that's about it.

                          The scene in Childs Play always comes to mind that was cut from tv cut.

                            I watched this for the first time recently and really enjoyed it, especially for its age.

                              Ballistic: Ecks VS Sever. Decent movie.

                              Also Out of Time and Déjà Vu, both with Denzel Washington, both sort of time based thrillers.

                                I had the original Ninja Turtles movie on VHS. The one where the kids smoke in many scenes.

                                If you try and stream the film today, they cut out some of the kid smoking scenes. I wish I still had that VHS. I watched that movie a hundred times growing up
