Yeah, 1988.  Somehow I thought I acquired it before marriage.  Thinking back now, I didn't get a VCR until after I was married.  Our first tape was The Quiet Man.

I have seen it, but I was younger at the time. For some reason the bit that sticks in my mind is the baddies trying to kill the old lady, and killing her little dogs by mistake :laugh:
I had forgotten that part but it was great!  :thumbup:
I am really going to date myself here.  Back when VCRs were new (early 1980's), they had mail-order clubs, just like the book clubs of old.  Well, the VCR tapes were usually $39.95 and up.  I didn't send in my postcard in time to say I didn't want that month's offering twice.  I ended up paying $90 for Stand By Me and about the same price for A Fish Called Wanda.  Big price to find out I didn't like either one.  And no, I was too honest to say I had returned the postcard and decline to pay.  
Ouch!

Needless to say I got out after my second mistake and have never joined another club of that type again.  However, I think they're pretty well extinct now.

I'm talking in secret code so the criminals won't know what I'm doing!  ;)
