I appreciate the nostalgic or sentimental value of VHS, and the preference for chronology. But the simple fact of the matter is that VHS is ultimately goung the way of vinyl records and 8-track tapes. Movies are starting to be released on DVD only, and rental stores are not replacing VHS tapes that broke or get lost. Also, DVD has superior sound as well as picture quality. I just hooked up a 5-speaker dolby system, and the seperated, surround sound is awesome. It really is like having a theater in your house. Of course, GF is the first DVD I watched on it. You can't get features like that on VHS, or the documentaries. As a fellow GF fan. My advice to you is to get the DVD's. They will last you for years to come. VHS is on the way out.
