Julia Roberts became one of the defining stars of the VHS era. Pretty Woman (1990) was one of the best-selling home video releases of its year, and her run through the early 1990s — Steel Magnolias, Sleeping with the Enemy, Hook, The Pelican Brief — made her a staple of every video store's new-release wall.

Julia Roberts VHS Rarities & Collectibles
Julia Roberts VHS tapes from the early 1990s are among the most commonly found — and most pleasingly nostalgic — titles in any collection. Pretty Woman (Touchstone Home Video, 1991) is everywhere, but first-run big-box editions and promotional rental copies with original stickers intact are harder to find. Steel Magnolias in its original Tri-Star Home Video clamshell is a frequent thrift store score.
Most Collectible Julia Roberts VHS Titles
Keep an eye out for: the original Sleeping with the Enemy (CBS/Fox Video, 1991) release, early pressings of Flatliners (1991), and any sealed copy of The Pelican Brief (1994). Her 1988 debut in Satisfaction appears occasionally and is a notable early find for Roberts completists.
