Action VHS

As part of my ongoing quest to assure the incorporation into the Preserve of the best and the brightest that Hollywood Video has to offer in their VHS tape sale, last week I had the good fortune to partake in their Action/Adventure tape event. Having maintained a near daily vigil of phone calls to their harassed staff, I timed it nearly to the hour when they finished their 1000 tape pull, and spent the next hour and a half of my life sifting through the much loved and now discarded tapes of years past.

Following is a list of the 32 best that I found, and we have already enjoyed a great many of them! While the act of reviewing films is as new to the internet as email, I still feel compelled, so hopefully at the very least we can get some words and pictures up about a fantastic Busey movie - Eye of the Tiger - itself alone justifying the bulk acquisition.
