I've just realised that there wasn't a film I watched repeatedly as a kid because domestic video recorders hadn't been invented at that time so we were at the mercy of whatever came on TV. I was working well over a year before I bought our first VHS player, I remember it was reduced from £650 to £450 in a sale, because they were ridiculously expensive in 1985. £450 is the equivalent of €1,170 today (£650 is €1,690). They were nearly giving them away for free by the time they became obsolete!
