Nicole Kidman VHS Rarities & Collectibles
Nicole Kidman's pre-Hollywood Australian work is some of the hardest material to find on VHS in North America. BMX Bandits (1983) and her early TV movies occasionally surface at specialty dealers and are highly valued by completists. Dead Calm (1989, Warner Bros.) was her mainstream breakthrough and remains an affordable and atmospheric find for horror-thriller collectors.
