The journey

Searching for magnetic movie memories

VHS Finds is a road-trip notebook for collectors, nostalgia seekers, and anyone who still gets a thrill from spotting a faded clamshell case in a dusty bin. Every tape tells two stories: the film on the label and the place where you found it.

Use this site to record the movie title, the location, the price, and the city and state of each find. The library saves in your browser, and every logged tape drops a marker on the map like a neon pin on an 80s treasure trail.

Rules of the hunt

Check the case

Look for mold, cracked reels, and mismatched tapes. The cover art may scream classic; the cassette should still behave.

Keep the receipt

Record what you paid. Those tiny prices become part of the legend later.

Respect the rewind

Clean your VCR heads, store tapes upright, and keep them away from heat, magnets, and garage goblins.
