I have an VCR, but I used it for digitizing my movies long ago. I keep it handy
just in case.
A lot of good movies are not easy to find from streaming or even shady sources.
I like having copies of everything that is good because you are not guaranteed t
o be able to find it later.
I had an VHS with a movie I recorded from TV when I was a kid. A couple of month
s ago I learnt that movie was considered lost for a long time because no complet
e copies of it remained. It turned out my crappy VHS copy was one of the remaini
ng sources for that movie.
Too bad somebody else had a copy too and submitted it in order to get all the cr
