Okay, so the title is a little misleading. I’m not looking for your VERY FAVORITE VHS memory, but a good one. Let me explain a bit.

For those of us that grew up in the video age, going to the video store was a wonderful and magical time. Most of the time, at least for me, I wasn’t going for a particular title but just to wander the aisles to see what might jump out at me. There were those times when we took a complete chance on a tape just because of the box art, which was pretty easy with some of those Wizard Video or Super Video titles. Sure, sometimes they could be a real dud, but other times, the film would just blow you away. Maybe it was seeing a title on the rack that you’d been hearing/reading about forever but never had come across a copy before, where the excitement to finally get to see this movie, hoping it lives up to your expectations! Then again, sometimes it was all about how cool the box art looked.

That is what I’m looking for. Now is the time for us old timers to sit in our lawn chairs, and in between yelling at the kids to get off our lawns, let’s reminisce about the good old days of video stores!
