I have an VCR, but I used it for digitizing my movies long ago. I keep it handy just in case.

A lot of good movies are not easy to find from streaming or even shady sources. I like having copies of everything that is good because you are not guaranteed to be able to find it later.

I had an VHS with a movie I recorded from TV when I was a kid. A couple of months ago I learnt that movie was considered lost for a long time because no complete copies of it remained. It turned out my crappy VHS copy was one of the remaining sources for that movie.

Too bad somebody else had a copy too and submitted it in order to get all the credit :-)
