Greg Lloyd@poppastring ‘Elephant Parts’ (1981) by Michael Nesmith was perhaps the first VHS I saw. Still think it’s pretty funny 🐘🙂
First full movie was likely ‘Nashville’
💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱Great! Michael Nesmith also released a free high-quality edition of ‘Elephant Parts’ - and other work - on his YouTube channel:

‘Flying to Rio’ and ‘Tonite’ are great music videos, but I always remember ‘Rock N Roll Hospital’

Nils Andresen@poppastring Probably Star Wars. I don't really remember, but I remember the first pair of VHS that I called "mine". One contained a very very bad copy of Star Wars (4 & 5) the other Star Wars 6 and 'Trinity Is Still My Name' - a wild mix even back then. 😬
Dazz Knowles@poppastring No idea what film, maybe something like Superman: The Movie, but it would have been on a Philips V2000 system which was neither VHS or Betamax.
@dazzknowles I had to look that model. Amazing! 🤩
