My 3 year old niece spotted an animated version of Beetlejuice episodes in my VHS collection and is now obsessed with it, makes a change from Peppa Pig!
Streaming is great, but every time I want to watch something obscure from the late 90's it's not listed anywhere. I also hang on to some older VHS tapes for the trailers alone!
Any VHS collectors on FMUK?

Re: Any VHS collectors on FMUK?
I have about 100 VHS which are all titles not issued on DVD. Mostly TV programmes and Music but a sprinkling of films, eg Buddy's Song, a favourite of mine.
There's a film starring Toyah called Julie and the Cadillacs also about the music business which wasn't even released on VHS. Anyone got that one ?
It is indeed true that charity shops won't accept VHS tapes. A friend had 300 he was taking to the tip recently. All very general films. I hated the thought of theml going to landfill and took them off his hands but gave up trying to get a charity shop to take them. The closest I got was "We have a policy of accepting all donations but don't sell video tapes", ie thanks but no thanks. Gave up eventually. I did get rid of them on Freecycle.
