A series of books and videogames etc that fill in the gaps have been released and if you can't be bothered reading them, here is a summation of what is known so far (what happened after ROTJ etc)<br>

<p>My school had two videos - Star Wars and Mary Poppins - we alternated each Friday afternoon between the two of them. We watched the incredible journey one time too.</p>
<p>We also used to have the old reel to reel movies as well.</p>

<p>Our neighbour bought the first vhs in the street and I got invited over to watch the first film with them, it was Deer Hunter. I was eight.</p>

<p>Shit, the Deer Hunter is rough going for an 8 year old.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The first videos I watched as kid were Omen and Fist if Fury. I was completely traumatised, one was freaky as shit and the other had a women getting beaten up.</p>

I feel like such a bad parent, I don't think my son has ever seen one of their films . We used to spend rainy days in the school holidays watching a couple of them back to back. Will sort that out soon. -

<p>Revenge of the Nerds, Animal House</p>

Well I watched animal house in the 80s, probably late 80s at that, maybe even early 90s....given I was born mid70s

On the other hand the 80s was home to a run of teen movies like Breakfast Club, St Elmos Fire, Sweet Sixteen.....ad nauseum</p></blockquote>

The exception being fast times at ridgemont high. Phoebe Cates caused more DNA to be spilled than a csi with Parkinson's .<br><br>
I don't know how many times me and my mates watched battle truck and mad max . Race for the Yankee zepher was another one that never sat on the video store shelf very long .
