Emily and I are getting serious about redoing our office and making it a more usable space and we're having to make some tough decisions about getting rid of a whole bunch of crap. First on the chopping block: a slew of VHS movies that we have both collected over the years. I typed up the list yesterday and I have to say, it's a good list of films, but they are all VHS and we don't even have a VHS machine hooked up to anything anymore so we never watch these and probably never will. So before these hit a garage sale or Craigslist, I'm posting the list of films here and we are offering these FOR FREE on a first come, first served basis to any Candleblog readers who can actually physically come to our house and take them away. You don't have to take them all -- just take what you want -- but we won't reserve them for anyone -- you'll have to actually come and take them if you want them. So email me or call us if you have our number and set a time to come over and take some movies home.
I'm sure I'll be posting other stuff for people to come and take as this project unfolds.
The complete list of VHS tapes is below the fold. These are all features -- no docs or shorts -- and they're all commercially made tapes in their original boxes. They should all work fine, but for the record, we're giving them away "as is."
