VCR, VHS?

This last week the kids tried to watch a few movies. We have a bunch of Disney movies on VHS and our VCR broke but we inherited Brian's grandmother's... so, yeah, it's super old. But it worked. Well, last week it kept ejecting the movies every 20 minutes.
Most of our kid movies are on VHS, so that's the downside. But we don't watch movies often. Our library has a ton to check out, so if we need some extras for something we could always take a trip to the library.
Naomi won't know the difference- the boys will be sad to loose a few movies, but realistically, how often do we watch them?
