what was your first video
Well, people used to ask, "What was the first record you bought?" Well, now it's time for "What was the first video you ever bought or received as a gift?"
This would have been something between the late 1970s and mid-1980s, when VCRs first became commonplace and movies and episodes of TV shows began to be sold individually to the general public. Did you have a VHS or Betamax player, or maybe a laserdisc player?
Or maybe you were one of the lucky ones whose parents owned a sound movie projector, and bought (gasp!) movies in a canister?
As for me, the first movie I bought was "Big Wednesday," which still is my favorite surf movie. I bought it on VHS.
