DVD and VHS collection treasures?

[trey]

The demise of video rental seems to have encouraged people to build up a large collection of titles, but which ones do you particularly cherish? I enjoy the nostalgia angle of the fugly Vette in Corvette Summer.

The Gumball Rally

Seven Nights In Japan

Car stuff, eh?

I have Gumball Rally on both Laser and DVD. I also own the original poster and a lobby card set.

Lots of other car movies, musicals, comedies, adventure, animation, etc. Probably have over 1000 titles on various media.

Most of what I treasure in my collection are things I recorded from TV back in the 1980's.

First season of Knight Rider is gold, especially the scene (episode 21. Nobody Does It Better) where K.I.T.T. is chased by an AMC Gremlin!

Laugh if you like, but my most treasured is probably "Father Goose." I don't know why that particular film appeals to me so much.

1) Showtime Entertainment's stageplay of "You Can't Take it With you" (never put on DVD and RARE--tapes go for upwards of $50 at times!)

2) Remember WENN's VHS tape (AMC show) with 4 episodes intended (supposedly) for judges of whatever cable award the show was up-for (that's the story I got)

3) PBS feed I taped from C-band back in 1986-ish of "American Playhouse" with the show: "A Walk in the Woods" starring Sam Waterston and Robert Prosky.

None of the above are available commercially on DVD.....and while some video is 20-plus years old, all are "acceptable" when transferred to DVD to preserve them! (no copyguard on either of the first two....copied for PERSONAL PRESERVATION only, of course!)

I have The Wonder Years back when it aired on ABC with the Original Commercials. Little did I know they would have so much trouble getting it released on DVD.

I've probably got some "Tour of Duty's" and WKRP's on VHS, have to look thru as both have the original soundtrack music gone...

Yes but it's not the original version. The Music is changed and edited and it's not complete but it's better then nothing.

A friend of mine who worked at a Convention got me a really clear vhs copy of the Star Wars Christmas Special with the Original Commercials. It's bad but still interesting to watch . The Commercials are what I really wanted anyway.

That sucks! The music was always great!

That's happened to a lot of shows from that era. That's why "Ed" has never been released as well. They should work out those music rights issues.........

I believe it's a problem with Married With Children as well. The Frank Sinatra song Love and Marriage is not on the DVD from what I heard.

That's incredible! I have rarely heard of anyone else having The Wonder Years from its original ABC airings with the Original Commercials. Did you tape The Wonder Years yourself, or did you acquire those episodes from a tape trader?

You have to feel sorry for the Sony Betamax, good concept but Sony didn't get the film companies to release movies on the format early enough.
