I may have enjoyed watching this documentary if just about all the interviewees had not had this positively infantile preoccupation with porn, schlock and low-quality Z-movie horror pictures.
I would have preferred to see people discussing their VHS nostalgia for some of the older movies, such as the original version of The Day The Earth Stood Still, Boris Karloff's Frankenstein, perhaps one or two of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers's RKO movies, or even a Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis comedy. These were the kind of films I had in my VHS collection in the 1970s and 1980s – to me they were (and, of course, still are) classics - films that I have watched over and over again, and have never tired of them.
Having to sit through all this low-grade crap, which never interested me, I found to be quite a strain.
I could possibly have tolerated a little of it here and there, but this was somewhat over the top.
I won't be watching this documentary again.
