VHS Suicide Run

Starting today, I'm going to potentially sacrifice 7 VHS tapes. Let me explain - my VCR...

I'm sorry...

OK, let's go, children of the 21st century...

...my VCR is old and has started to eat tapes at random, possibly in some response to the fact that we have 17 DVD players in a two-bedroom apartment. But I don't feel like spending money to upgrade these until they are no longer playable, so into the kite-eating tree, I mean tape-eating VCR we go!

Here's the festival lineup:

Tequila Sunrise (1988, Robert Towne)
Mystery Train (1989, Jim Jarmusch)
My Beautiful Laundrette (1985, Stephen Frears)
Broadcast News (1987, James L. Brooks)
Midnight Run (1988, Martin Brest)
She's Gotta Have It (1986, Spike Lee)
The Spanish Prisoner (1998, David Mamet)
