    Chomps (the canine home protection system) - an ‘electronic dog’ that catches burglars.

    Diamonds - a few people rob an Israeli diamond vault by avoiding security features.

    You said ‘own’ - well, these were on loan when the video shop shut down.

    By myself, probably Apollo 13 - I used to watch it like once a day over the summer. With my dad, we watched Predator every time my mom had to work late.

    VHS, Care Bears rainy day off, and TV recordings of various other cartoons. I grew up on network television with a heavy focus on The Simpsons.

      We had the second Care Bears movie on the same VHS tape as A Wish For Wings That Work, the Bloom County adaptation briefly featuring Robin Williams as “Sudy Nim.”

      Dark Heart might’ve been a bisexual awakening.

    Little Nemo (1989), and We’re Back (1993). I think my brother and I burned out those VHS tapes from overplaying them.

    Hackers.

    The only reason we bought it was because my dad’s cousin was an extra in one of the classroom scenes. As a result I watched more times than I could count, and love cyberpunk stuff.
