The cabin we vacationed at a few times had exactly two VHS tapes, as I recall:

Green Eggs & Ham (Side 1) / Star-Bellied Sneeches (Side 2)

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Also we watched fuzzy news coverage of the Olympic bombing in Atlanta and it briefly seemed like it was the end of the world for like 2-3 hours. Probably because I was a kid + fuzzy TV in a cabin in the mountains + dramatic parents, etc.

Edit: I realized I said Side 1/Side 2 like it was a record. Anyway, it was just a 2-part Dr. Seuss VHS, not a rare dual-layer VHS.
