To get kinda close, I remember that “Top Gun” came out on VHS and could be had for about $24.95, which was amazing, at the time.* The trick was, that you had to put up with the commercials at the beginning of the tape. That’s the one that started it, IIRC. When was that, '86?
*Something makes me think that there was also the $69.95 version without commercials. Could be hallucinating, tho.
