Quality idea for a thread this!

 

Mine were:

Rocky 1 and 2

Star Wars - all of them, but mainly A New Hope

Big

Blues Brothers

Karate Kid

Some old Spider-Man film - proper made for tv job

Top Gun

Weird Science

 

Thats about it I reckon - honourable mention for Temple of Doom too actually - that got some repeat viewings. My dad was good with recording stuff actually. I’d forgotten that about being a little lad - always new VHS done for us if they’d watched something without us

 

Edit - just read the other responses and left out 2 of my main ones!

 

Superman

The Goonies
