I grew up with VHS tapes on CRT screens. It was totally fine, I watched more movies back then than I do today.

  In Czechoslovakia ~ 1988, video players were rather expensive and complicated to acquire, so we as kids watched movies from cassettes together as well, at the homes of the few who were rich enough to afford them. One of those parents was a truck driver who was able to cross the Iron Curtain and always smuggled something interesting back.

  Yea, also often the movies were cams from people that recorded in the theater so you can see the audience walking around etc. Quality hardly matters when the real treasure was getting the movie in the first place.
