The proper term is "un magnétoscope" but in slang it is usually referred to as "un VHS" or "un video". The video player is "masculin".

VHS are quite inexpensive nowadays. I have seen some for less than 50$.

You can also plan to have a movie day in class and use the AV from the school.

Do people watch Audrey Tatou movies for Audrey Tatou ?
Gosh, I do. I think she's just adorable. She has such a sweet expressive face. But I'm afraid she's typecast in my head as Amélie, now. No wonder she decided to play a psycho-villian. She's probably desperate to distance herself from the Amélie character.

un magnétoscope? I never would have guessed. I would not have supposed "un VHS" or "un video" either, since we are talking about the machine that plays the media. I may have to go out and buy one. My last one went kaput so I just threw it out and bought a DVD player instead of replacing the VCR.

We are actually going to have a movie day in class. I am not sure what we'll see. Hope we get to vote on it.

I was just thinking of another film I love that I might have to order on DVD if I can get it - "Camille Claudelle". I love that movie. Isabelle Adjani and Gerard Depardieu were really wonderful in that picture.
