Some are cooking instruction tapes by Julia Child abd my wife will still watch them from time to time.
It has become almost a bragging point to be able to say that I still have a working Betamax. It is also a great conversation stopper as most people will just move away when I say that. It avoids having to put up with their inane stories and is a bit more polite than saying, "Go away, now!"
