I have quite a few movies on VHS I have to rebuy on DVD. I hate that. One of the reasons I don&#8217;t want to buy a blu ray player. It&#8217;s pretty not cool that we have to keep buying the same movie over and over because they switch formats. I&#8217;m glad one format won in the blu ray vs HD war.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a list of all the movies I had on VHS.
