Not quite, Victor. My wife and I are both into films BIG TIME, but even though the we own two VCRs, we rarely use them for movies anymore. Instead we use the VCRs strictly for time-shifting programs off Discovery, A&E, History Channel, BBC America and a number of major network series we like. For movies, we're devotees of LD and DVD; we either buy DVDs or rent them from a Blockbuster just down the street. As a matter of fact I've accumulated lots of videotapes of movies over the years, but rarely watch them simply because the picture quality is so inferior to DVD's higher resolution. Note: Anamorphic WS displayed on an HDTV from a decent progressive scan DVD player is awesome to behold. The bottom line is that if it's a film we really like, we just wait until it comes out on DVD and add it to our permanent viewing collection.
