Not sure why, but here you go...

The VHS Range is a new celebration of VHS era movies in a new limited edition Blu-ray/DVD package. Initially 12 titles, each release will feature a retro sleeve inspired by their original CIC VHS release. The title will be released on July 30th. 

 

Each movie comes with a box printed with a VHS cassette design, but with the height of a DVD to ensure it fits on shelves. Included inside are copies of the movie on both Blu-ray and DVD as well as a fold out replica theatrical poster, bubblegum card and sticker. They are available to pre-order now, both in-store and online. 

 

The titles are...

 


 

 

Titles included in the range are as follows: 

The Blues Brothers

E.T. 

Scarface

48 HRS

The Breakfast Club

Back to the Future

Top Gun

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Beverly Hills Cop

Airplane!

The Thing

The Warriors

 

 

 

 

...of course - it's not really VHS.

I've still got a handful of VHS tapes and a working VHS recorder. The tapes include the Sergei Eisenstein film Alexander Nevsky with the music composed by Sergei Prokofiev. The film is almost unique in that the director and composer worked together in a partnership so that scenes were created around the music and the music was composed around the scenes. (Once Upon a Time Leone/Morricone was similarly created). Although Alexander Nevsky has been released on DVD and Blu Ray, the VHS version I have is a special version of the film. The music score had been replayed by the St Petersburg Philarmonic Orchestra to replace the original. As such, the version was sold in the music sections of shops rather than the ordinary film section. This also meant that the film was exemped from the usual BBFC classification requirements. Quite possibly the only feature film sold in modern times without such a classification. It's never been released on DVD or Blu Ray.

Me too. I have a JVC S-VHS recorder/player. The reason being is that I still have some tapes never released on DVD or Blu-ray.
