169. Reminds me
from when I was in Iraq & Kuwait. I would often find bootleg movies and shows at the shops the locals have in-bases(most soldiers call them "Haji shops" but not me). The quality is like you describe, people would film in a movie theater. It was hilarious to watch someone get up and walk in-front of the camcorder. Other times the quality was excellent. Many DVD players here won't play them but an XBox 360 will play just about any DVD movie.

Customs let us take 15-20 movies with us but not any more 'cause I guess they thought we would sell them. Also we weren't allowed to take home more than 1 copy of a movie or TV show. I still have them but never watch them because of the quality and I can watch almost anything has been released through DVD on Netflix.
