Hello, it's Tuesday, I hope you're having a good week so far.
Just over a month ago I made two DVD collection videos
Which are available to watch up there if you would like to.
But in those videos I mentioned a few times that I still have videos, VHS tapes
And I had a few requests for me to make a video talking about my video collection
So this is that video!
I've just said the word "video" so much.
It might surprise you to them that a few of these videos I have bought in the last 10 years
When I was at uni I had a video player
I didn't have a DVD player, although I did have a laptop which would play DVDs.
But also when I was at uni there were a lot of charity shops
And they were all full of videos, full of videos, because everybody was getting rid of them at that time.
So I, as a penniless student, would buy them.
Because they were 4 or 6 for a pound, which was fantastic value.
And they were a good way for me to find new films to watch.
So let's get started, all of the videos I am talking about today are of films.
I don't own any TV shows on video anymore, pretty much because they're bulky.
I'm going to split the videos into categories as I did in the DVD collection videos
And I'm gonna start with comedy and drama, otherwise known as
"Everything that I couldn't quite work out where else to put it."
First, Gladiator. This was my very favourite film for quite a long time. I have watched it a lot.
I now own it on DVD, so that must have been in my DVD collection video as well.
Seven, the Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman film, I believe this is something I got when I was at university.
Bring It On, I think I got this when it was first released. £10.99 in HMV.
Notting Hill, when was this released? 1999 maybe.
Bridget Jones's Diary, this is the only Bridget Jones film that I own in any medium.
Sense and Sensibility, I love this film, it's the one with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.
I think I'd say that it's my favourite adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.
Four Weddings and a Funeral. This concludes the Hugh Grant section of my collection.
Primary Colors, John Travolta, Emma Thompson again.
Adrian Lester is in this, and I remember being very excited that Adrian Lester was in this.
Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman in Air Force One.
I don't remember this film at all. I mean, I remember it existing but I don't remember watching it.
Shawshank Redemption, one of my favourite films. I think this should be a priority to get on DVD.
Saving Private Ryan, another film that I got at uni because I'd never seen it.
And Good Morning Vietnam with Robin Williams.
I don't think I've watched this video. I've seen the film but I think it was on TV and I watched it when it was on TV.
Billy Eliot, great film. £5.99 apparently, I'm not sure from where.
Special edition with a bonus documentary.
The Full Monty in a bright yellow case. I love cases that are different to the usual.
Brassed Off, great film, I'd recommend it.
This was one of my favourites to revise to because of all of the music
And I knew it really well so it didn't matter if I missed bits.
Now we have some sci-fi and fantasy films.
Minority Report, Tom Cruise film, Gary Oldman executive produced it.
Ghostbusters 2, I don't own the first Ghostbusters film. I liked this film when I was a kid, I watched it a lot.
Galaxy Quest in a lovely purple case.
This is another one that I got a uni because I felt like I definitely should have seen it already.
And Apollo 13. 1995, how does time pass?
X-Men and X-Men 2. As you might know from my DVD collection videos, I own X-Men 3 on DVD.
I kind of use the first three X-Men films as a timeline of me moving from video to DVD.
Because when I got the first X-Men film I could only get it on video.
This was the year 2000, so maybe it was when DVD players existed but I didn't own one.
And when X-Men 2 came out I could get it on either video or DVD
So I guess I must have had a DVD player by then, 2003,
But I got it on video because I owned the first X-Men film on video and I wanted them to be the same.
And by the time X-Men 3 came out it was only available on DVD
So I had to buy it on DVD, and then have two of the films on video and one on DVD
That was a fun story.
Now musicals, only four of these.
Josie and the Pussycats, £9.99.
Moulin Rouge with a red case. I loved this film for many years, I haven't seen it a long time.
Grease, this was was my favourite musical and I was a kid, it's not really anymore
But I think this is the musical that introduced me to musicals.
Cats. Now this is a weird one, because I bought this video recently, in the last two years I think.
I saw it in a charity shop. Videos aren't really sold in charity shops anymore but this one was there.
I'd never seen the musical and at that point I thought I might never see the musical
Because it wasn't on stage at that time. But this was a specially filmed version with Elaine Paige
And I thought this might be the only way I get to see Cats, so I bought it.
Of course, the end to this story is that Cats then came on to the West End, and I saw it
And I still haven't seen this video, but I could if I wanted to.
Now we have kids films.
Jumanji, I loved this film, I saw it in the cinema when it was first released.
Mrs Doubtfire, Robin Williams again.
I feel like I have quite a few Robin Williams, Hugh Grant, and Emma Thompson films on video.
And then Annie, which I got in a charity shop, the one with Albert Finney
And I'm trying to work out when it was released, maybe 1981.
And then finally we have Disney.
I mentioned in my DVD collection video that I own some of the classic animations on video and this is them.
But first we have a live-action one, we have 101 Dalmatians
The Glenn Close one. Look at the videotape.
The Lion King, one of my favourites.
The Jungle Book, I think this might be one of the first Disney videos that I got.
And then we have Aladdin which I think I got when I was at uni.
And Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
"The fully restored masterpiece with collector's booklet and footage never seen before."
Well, the collector's booklet's not here.
Finally, Beauty and the Beast. The price label has the date on it so I can tell you that I got it in 2006.
So that's my video collection, what's left of it.
Do you let me know if you still have VHS tapes as well, I want to know quite how unusual it is.
And do you have any thoughts on or memories of any of the films I have talked about today?
Anyway, let's move to the end screen.
I'm going to put my two DVD collection videos below, so if you want to see them then you can do so there.
One is films and one is TV shows.
If you want to subscribe to my channel or visit my website you can do so beside me here.
I hope you have a great day, and I will see you later on in the week.
