The “home video era” began in 1977, when a company called “Magnetic Video Corporation” released the first VHS (“Video Cassettes”) for home video use. I strictly collect vintage VHS tapes that were released between 1977-1982 (with some exceptions released between 1982-1989), but mostly limited to Magnetic Video. Below is a list of retro tapes in my collection. You can refine these movies by VHS distributor, also listed below.
