i can only watch rotj on vhs. why?  because the camera is so static, the pan and scan version gives it some movement. i also like tron on vhs for this reason.

I know, as a kid I had a well worn VHS copy of ROTJ taped from ITV in the UK. My brain still half expects the camera to pan from left to right slowly when Jabba is speaking.  My VHS did this to read the hard subs lol

I also remember a lot of my 80s home VHS favourites having the swearing dubbed out (Terminator, Aliens, Robocop, Predator etc).  When they re-released 'Back To The Future' at the cinema a while back, I almost spilled my popcorn when Doc Brown says "Your gonna see some serious shit!" (I always assumed he was supposed to say "...serious stuff"
