Your subject is a bit misleading, this really has nothing to do with 8mm film. The film to video transfer was already done, so this is really just a VHS to editable form question.
If you have a Mini-DV camcorder with FireWire, then if it does pass-through you can go from the video out of the VCR to the video in of the DV Camcorder, and FireWire to the computer.
Or you can record it onto Mini-DV tape first (which gives you a digital backup too), and then import into iMovie.
