VHS movies were a childhood staple. My parents had one of those minivans with a tiny TV screen and ours came with a VHS player. At the time, we lived in Eastern Iowa and my dad's parents lived in Joplin, Missouri. Each road trip we went on my siblings and I would pick out several movies for the eight-hour drive to grandma and grandpas. Some of the movies on this list were absolute favorites of mine.

As I emerge deeper into adulthood, I find myself referencing to these older movies I used to watch all the time, but have come to find out some aren't as popular as I thought. As a tribute to the nearly-extinct VCR and movies I will never forget, here are some of my favorite childhood movies you may not have heard of.
