Re: anyone still have vcr tapes
I have sooo many. I used to collect videos and well, then dvd became popular. So now I have a gazzilion videos. Some I will never part with, because they are classics and I haven't even seen them on DVD, but eventually I guess I will sell them on ebay or something. But a few years ago, when it kinda changed over to all dvd stuff, I bought a new vcr to have boxed for the day they are extinct, so I'll still be able to watch my videos!!

Re: anyone still have vcr tapes
Had this question a few weeks ago. Still have a lot from when I was younger and being the pack rat that I am, I find it hard to part iwth things. But now I'm feeling ike I want things minmal. I may bring the kid ones to school for movie days (like before a vacation) and donate the others and keep the real special ones. But to be honest, we don't even have the vcr hooked up. And to be even more honest, DH and I talked about this the other day and there is just something great about catching your favorite movie on cable. It's a surprise. Going to the video store is the same thing...you picked it out and WANT to see it. But we really have watched maybe 3 of our dvds several times over. Hence, we don't buy them anymore.
Sorry for rambling!

That is soo true. I have soo many movies I could just pop in the dvd player, but yet I see it on cable and I am so psyched, for example, wedding crashers, I have watched it twice today, yet I own it and can watch it anytime!!

Re: anyone still have vcr tapes
Exactly! I looooved Love Actually and when my mom got it for me, I was ecstatic and it is one that I will pop in, but last December, it was on HBO and I think I caught it about a dozen times and each time, I watched it!

Re: anyone still have vcr tapes
I do. I still use my VCR to tape shows when I am not able to watch them. I think I'll forever be stuck in this method because DH is way too cheap for Tivo or anything else.

Re: anyone still have vcr tapes
I have a ton, but no longer have a VCR, so I won't be watching them anytime soon!! I guess it's time to get rid of them/sell them...

Re: anyone still have vcr tapes
We have shelf for of them. MIL collected all of the Disney movies for her future grandchildren. Disney pulls movies for 10 years. I guess she didn't want her 5 year old grandson to have to wait 5 years to watch Lady & the Tramp? Anyway, we have tons of them...

A lot of my workout videos are on VCR tapes. I have a DVD/VCR player.

Re: anyone still have vcr tapes
I still have them all, and as someone mentioned, Disney has this "vault" policy, so I a definitely holding onto the Disney ones and I do watch the tapes for whatever's not out on DVD yet, or some things I love and never got the DVD of, like Star Wars. I didn't want the special edition.
