Dim's Top 7...
Most Watched VHS Tapes
Most of my 1994
was spent looking
for opportunities to
use phrases like,
"Careful honey, that
pony had a lot of
water." and "It was
a run by fruiting!"
At eleven years old
I didn't get all the
jokes... so it kept
getting funnier the
older I got. I miss
Robin Williams.
#6 Mrs. Doubtfire
A bunch of kids
taking on a
government
agency to help
an unathletic
space alien call
his house? I'm in!
This movie is
chocked full of
iconic scenes,
and is probably where
my fascination with
Reese's Pieces began.
#7 E.T.
Bob Uecker plus
sports bloopers
equals... one of
the best combos
in all of sports!
At a young age I
would turn the
volume down and
commentate right
along with Mr. Baseball
himself... what an icon!
#5 Bob Uecker's
Wacky World of Sports
How awesome is
this movie? I
mean obviously
it's a unique
story, but for me
the advancement
in technology to
accomplish this
in 1995 was
astonishing! And
besides neighbor kid Sid
being undoubtedly scarred
for life... this movie was a
game changer.

#4 Toy Story
"Kids today are
amazing. I played
winter ball down
in Venezuela,
and they had kids
half his age,
every one of them
speaking Spanish
and that's a hard
language." Easily
one of the most underrated
baseball movies of all time.
#3 Little Big League
I don't know how
the giant white
plastic VHS case
ended up in my
possession, but
I watched it so
much... I could
act out entire
scenes! Most of
1993 was devoted
to rewinding and
fixing the tracking
on this movie. "Jafar Jafar he's
our man if he can't do it GREAT!"
#2 Aladdin
#1 Star Wars
Of course Star
Wars is #1! As a
kid I knew every
word, every
scene, every
sound, every look,
every music note.
Not much has
changed other
than I don't have
to highjack the
family TV to get my daily dose of
Star Wars. This was the first VHS
I ever watched... and honestly it
doesn't get much better than Han shooting first. I was fascinated
with the costumes, special FX,
and the space ships. I've seen
Han Solo's original blaster in real
life... and it's a crappy piece of
wood, poorly carved and poorly
painted. Truly movie magic!
