With the death of video rental many have built up large collections of DVD and VHS titles, but which items in your collection do you particularly cherish? I like the '80s style of The Wraith.:D

I think my original of "Debby does Dallas" still plays but I've not had a VHS player in years :redface:

I don't have many DVD's but one I wouldn't get rid off is called "The road racers and V four victory" and features an on board camera lap of the Isle of Man TT track by the legendary Joey Dunlop who tragically died racing, I've been riding bikes for 40 years but a lap of the island with Joey is utterly terrifying :eek:

oh man, i have way too many to list, but i'd say one that i can't get rid of would be the vhs box set of the original star wars movies, you know before greedo shot first.

i really need a video capture card so i can digitize all my old vhs.

This is another one that gains some nerd points, pretty horrific movie in places. rather disturbing.

And finally, a movie that everyone should own:

Think a defence is a written justification or response while a defense is more of a physical guarding against besiegers and what not.


But don't hold me to that lol.

The eventual wrecking of the Porsche 928 was priceless! Seeing the movie again made me realise how much that car looked like a squashed Pacer, lol!;)
