Video8 - List of Prerecorded 8mm Video Movies, Music, and More
I only started this list because I couldn’t find one anywhere else. It’s not complete and likely inaccurate. I’m no expert on home video history. Proceed with caution.
What did I miss? Let me know.

1. Overview
From the mid-80s to the 2000s home video companies released films, music, and other content in Video8 format alongside VHS, DVD, etc. Also known as “8mm video,” Video8 was developed by Sony and Kodak as a unifying format for recording and playing analog video. Numerous compatible electronics were released, including camcorders and 8mm VCRs. Though some studios were hopeful that prerecorded Video8 movies would replace VHS movies, eventually digital formats like DVD became the most popular.
2. Titles
For a somewhat obscure “dead format,” a surprising number of well-known titles are available on Video8 cassettes and can be purchased second-hand today.
Tapes listed here were distributed in North America unless otherwise noted. Years reflect a title’s original release date, not necessarily the Video8 release date. References marked with an “a” are archive pages.
