    It’s probably the format they watched when they were younger, which would be a major contributor to nostalgia. I still keep a VHS player and my parents’ old copies of the pre-special edition Star Wars movies along with Akira and Ghost in the Shell.

      I remember programming the VCR when VHS was first a thing and I’m definitely not nostalgic for it. It was the best most people could afford at the time but it certainly wasn’t good.

      pre-special edition Star Wars movies

      The despecialised editions are the real director’s cut fite me IRL.
