Well i think the point is that today people just watch movies that have "aTleAsT 7 or 8 on imDb" or the top ranked show/album on [insert arbitrary streaming service] that week, and are never exposed to anything outside of the mainstream realm = Everyone you meet is just a clone of the person next to her/him.
On paper you are correct; You'd think people have vastly different tastes and interests but in reality they just watch/listen to/do what everyone else is watching/listening do/doing.
Homeward Bound
The Incredible Journey!
For me it was a CD, not a tape, but I watched the hell out of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, dubbed in a monotone voice by a grand total of like three people.
Cocktail with Tom Cruise, and Independence Day. I watched the fuck out of both of those movies in late Elementary/early Middle School.
For me it was The Boy Who Loved Trolls, The Boy Who Could Fly, Flight of the Navigator and the Rainbow Brite episode/movie that contained this song: https://youtu.be/zPRWuegS8l8?si=OYJ3x4vSSyWg2eNO

This was the movie Troll for me with Sonny Bobo.
Aladdin
Captain Ron fam checking in!
EDIT: We also were frequent watchers of "Money Pit" and "The 'Burbs"....all movies which are pretty notable for..............being available for multiple watches.
Tell that to my daughter watching that soviet cartoon about penguins I had as a video tape over and over again on youtube
Maximum overdrive. We didn't tape it, but it was saved to our DVR for years.
Dude I remember getting so pumped up because of specials on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. In high school I loved being home to catch my favourite shows.
I still watch these movies that I used to own just on their respective streaming platforms. I cant tell you how many times I've rewatched the same handful of movies I had as a kid but in my adult years.

It was a bunch of shitty animated films on DVD for me (with a couple of Disney and Dreamworks films added into the mix). It’s probably the cause of my love of physical media.
I tried to watch Jingle all the way with my kids today. They pointed out how stupid that movie is, but I didn't have a lot of choices back then. I don't miss those days of shitty choices.

The Adventures of Milo and Otis! I wonder if it is streaming anywhere?
How obscure are we talking ? Mine was Gandahar (1987). Try to beat that !
100%!!!
I co-host a podcast focused on superhero movies. Over breaks (summer and winter holidays) we'll typically do something different than our usual. This past summer we did a Jeff Bridges sci-fi double feature - Tron (the original) and Starman.
For this holiday season we just recorded an od pairing that I think could be called "what random VHS tapes did you grow up with?" The movies? Roadhouse and The Pirates of Penzance!
It was a direct to VHS release called "Berenstein Bears visit Sinbad in Shazam!". This was pretty close to Irontown. My mom said I had such an imagination with it and it was all static.
