Before streaming, DVDs, and even videotapes, there was only the cinema and television. Yes — I’m that old!
If you wanted your own copy of a favourite film, you needed a projector and a reel of cine film, usually 8mm.
After many years of waiting, I finally managed to get hold of the Disney Home Movies 8mm silent colour version of The Story of Robin Hood. I hadn’t seen it on television since I first watched it at the cinema, so owning it felt like winning the lottery.
Even though it was only four minutes long, those precious minutes of seeing that wonderful film again meant everything to me.
