I remember watching so many movies that I had either taped off television or scraped from one VHS to another. I had a double feature of Krull and Logan's Run. I watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit? anytime I wanted. The Empire Strikes Back had been briefly taped over with a few minutes of a Who's the Boss episode, such that I never saw the scene where Luke hides in an animal carcass until those movies were rereleased in the... late 90s I think? I had cassette mix tapes with songs taken from radio or my dad's record collection.
