Still stuck on VHS(/Laserdisc) - Blu-ray Forum

Tyger · 10-21-2009, 09:58 PM

So in these days of people waiting to replace DVD's with BD's, I've been wondering what are the movies that never made the jump from VHS and/or Laserdisc and what do you think their chances of making the jump to DVD or BD are now?

I hold on to one VHS tape, Suburbia (1996), because it's one of my favorite movies and last I heard Criterion was going to do a DVD, but that was awhile ago and nothing has come of it yet

The only movies I have on VHS now is:'Babe'-because of norwegian voice-over which wasn't on the DVD(got that too,but like the voice-over),and 'Deathrace 2000'-not proud of that one

Although it is hillarious.

I would suggest going somewhere and having the VHS tape transferred to dvd or blu-ray(if possible).

I think that the only one that I have is...

- Pink Floyd In Concert: Delicate Sound Of Thunder [VHS] (1989)

I also have a VHS copy of one of my favorite Sc-fi movies Outland, because the DVD version was non-anamorphic with a bad transfer. So I guess that you could call one that a phony DVD since they all should be made anamorphic when applicable.

I think all of mine made it to dvd. Harry and the Hendersons was the last one I switched over.

Buddy Buddy with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau never made it past VHS.
