It must have been 1993 or 1994, when I was about 6, when my dad walked downstairs and gave me this kinda worn out box set of movies i'd never heard of. He just kinda told me to watch them, like he knew I was gonna love them or something. So he popped one in, turned off the lights, went back up stairs....and my life was changed (at 6, that's really all it takes in a way).
I still have that box set put away to keep me from completely wearing them out (they are already not so good looking) and use my LD transfer DVD's. Oh the memories.
