Yes, easily! All of the films I listed above (along with others) I generally watched a few times a week on average over several years when I was a child - this is the era when we only had four terrestrial TV channels and used to tape films off of the TV (especially at Xmas when they used to show a fair few films) so there was a lot of repetition of the old favourites. I also wasn't as film savvy as I am now so just didn't know what else was out there to watch, and even if I did I couldn't get hold of it anyway.

As for owning it, the recordable VHS tape still sits proudly on a bookcase at my mum's! I may buy it one day, if only for nostalgia reasons...

I suppose this could also double as a 'childhood favourites' list too!

Batman is probably my most watched film. My mums friend taped it from Sky TV for me and I must have watched it at least twice a week for about 2 months. The same with Terminator 2.

Batman Returns (1992)
The Great Escape (1963)

These films have also been watched more times than i can remember.

All aside from Land of the Dead and Trick r' Treat made the transition from vhs to dvd pretty quickly. The Thin Man aside which i only discovered thanks to Uncut DVD magazine in the early 00'S. Some even made the transition from Beta to vhs as well.
