Last VHS I bought were those for Scream 3 and Sleepy Hollow. Wasn't into DVD yet. Last VHS I ever got, though-- from someone else-- was probably Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Oh-- now that I think, there has been another, more recently. Acquired the Disney version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow in its original clamshell case from a wonderful seller on eBay. Amazingly, still shrinkwrapped and in mint condition. Always loved that packaging and artwork as a kid.
--THX

I bought : A Mighty Wind & Free Enterprise at the .99c Store, maybe 3 months ago. My aunt has mental disabilities and can only work a VCR. She was happy with them.

I purchased a recording of Crash Course on VHS. It was half the price of DVD. Since this has never been officially released and was recorded off TV years ago, I figured VHS over DVD was no big deal since I saved about $10 or $15.

If I could find a legitimate VHS of "SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION" I'd get it in a second. Never been released on DVD and may never be. Anybody got a legitimate one they want to sell??? I'm in Japan, so I'm never going to find one here!!

The last VHS I purchased were a few at Hollywood Video recently:
Cellar Dweller
MST3K - The Amazing Colossal Man
Mama Dracula
Necropolis
I bought them because there aren't on DVD yet (well, Mama Dracula is on one of those crappy multi-movie sets) and they were only $2 each, plus half of them were already out of the system so they just gave them to me.

Monster Squad - at least 6 years ago when a video store was going out of business. I bought it because it was one of my favorites growing up and was, at the time, very rarely shown on TV.

I bought "some girls" because it's not on DVD and I bought "Mischief" so I could see Kelly Preston's bush on Fullscreen. Bought them both used at hollywood video last year for I think a couple bucks each.

Last year I bought the Director's cut of "Lawnmower Man" on ebay. It is currently the only VHS tape I own.
Reason I Keep Telling Myself I Did It: It's never been released except as the theatrical cut with all the extended stuff as deleted scenes. The director's cut is over thirty minutes longer and improves the film significantly! Yes, I know that I am one of only five people in the world that actually like this movie.
Real Reason I Did It: I was delusional the day I sold off my VHS collection, and didn't now what I was doing. VHS picture and sound quality are far superior to DVD. And HD? Forget it. You're all crazy. I don't even know why I'm a member on this site, or why I've bought all these useless DVD's.

Humongous - No, it doesnt star Ron Jeremy....You sick twisted, messed up thought process of a human stain on the governments tax list . It's a slasher flick which I only bought a few weeks ago. I've seen it before and got it because I am sick of waiting for all these 80s slasher flicks to finally come out on DVD.
