Golden Class Movies started with a simple passion for preserving these iconic stories. From a small collection of vintage tapes, we’ve grown into a trusted source for retro memorabilia, including Superman classics that continue to inspire generations.

The history of VHS is a story of revolution in home entertainment. Introduced in the late 1970s, VHS tapes made it possible to experience blockbuster films anytime. By the early 2000s, however, DVDs began replacing VHS. Today, owning original VHS tapes like Superman evokes a sense of nostalgia and connection to a bygone era.
