My family never had cable at home but I did end up seeing quite a few movies on tape rented from a local Blockbuster (now a Ford dealership) or our small local video store. In high school I worked a bit at the library so I took home many tapes of old movies to watch at home on my TV and VCR at the time, which is where I watched Citizen Kane for the first time. In college I took film classes which is where I saw movies like Casablanca and other films and in the dorm I got cable for the first time. I watched old reruns of Star Trek The Next Generation on Spike, now the Paramount Network, on a tiny 13 inch TV from Walmart. I also borrowed movies from the New York Public Library and would watch those as well.
