Rewind This (2013)

Director: Josh Johnson

Premise:
The story of how VHS tape changed the movie industry.

My Take:
Being from the era of the tape I enjoyed this documentary immensely. It covers tape traders, current collectors, how the media came out, Beta vs VHS evolution, how VHS impacted the movie industry and particular genres, the rental store experience, current VHS re-sellers, and much more. Sprinkled in with great interviews from directors, collectors, fans, and industry experts to reveal much insight. A must see for film buffs or people wanting to relive the classic days of VHS.

Rating: Instant Classic
