First Blood!! I remember it was a major ordeal to rent a VHS back then. And, you still could choose between VHS and Beta. The store I went to you had to join their club with a annual fee. Submit $100 deposit and they checked your I.D. each and every time you rented. Late fees were large and I believe a two tape limit applied too.

Hannah does her sisters.
Classic. Also, Bitches Of Eastwick has some nice Amber Lynn moments. Now that I think about it, Every other girl in the early to mid 80's was named Amber. 
I miss Amber.

Nobody remember those " Faces of Death " videos ? There was a small video shop in Hialeah, family owned. They had a decent selection of movies along with a porn section in an isolated section that had a bead or curtain doorway, still didn't make too comfortable coming out of there. LOL of course BlockBuster came to town and put them out of business before eventually going out of business themselves.

I was in the army until 1986. My buddy owned a Sony Betamax machine. Great player. We bought movies mostly, some were rented and some were recorded. I remember having "The Park is Mine" with Tommy Lee and "High Risk" with James Brolin, which I later found on DVD.
We rented "Surf 2" the music concert with "The Police" and other concert videos. I think "Exit Stage Left" by Rush was a big one for us. I got a VHS machine in 1991/92 and I remember paying $70 for the VHS letterbox "The Hunt for Red October" sometime earlier, like late 1989. I got to see "The Hunt" at a 70mm screen in Reno when it came out. It was epic.
