1989: Will People BUY Movies on VHS? | Film 89 | Retro Tech | BBC Archive

"The market for sell-through video will be at least as big as the market for compact discs in two years' time." Would you want to own a physical copy of a movie? The popularity of The Video Collection - a range of classic movies released to buy on VHS - suggests that, if the price is right, the answer is a resounding yes. Now, the major Hollywood studios are beginning to release their latest movies for sale, directly to the public, sometimes only months after their theatrical release. The Oscar-winning drama Rain Man will hit the shops and the rental stores simultaneously, and will be available for purchase at a fraction of the price of a typical new release. Will the public snap it up? Barry Norman chats to retailers, video distributors, video rental stores and the general public to find out. Clip taken from Film 89, originally broadcast on BBC One, 24 October, 1989.
