So I own over 500 vhs tapes. And dvds, but those are easy to rip. I am trying to archive all my tapes before they go bad. However, that takes a lot of time. Should I just try to find all the movies I can for tapes I own?

I've been out of the game for a few years now. How vast are the resources for 90s movies and such ?

Downloading them would maybe be a good way to find if any of them are hard to find and someone else might appreciate a copy available even if the quality isn't great. if they are findable in better quality but the VHS or DVD has ads, PSAs, bumpers, special features, etc between that might be rare too
