The Barbarians (1987)
From the director of Cannibal Holocaust comes a movie starring two obesely muscular hunks who act by moaning and ripping flesh off of flesh. The drama!

Basket Case (1982)
A surprisingly sympathetic and thoughtful, but eventually really fucking stupid low-budget classic.

Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Best twist ending ever! It works dramaturgically and it's one of the creepiest things ever captured on film.

The Breakfast Club (1985)
One of the few truly good movies on this list, The Breakfast Club is a rather good, albeit dated depiction of teenage life. The characters don't particularily grow as everything we see unravel seems to have been there from the start, but they can finally let these feelings unwind amidst near-strangers, and that's the beauty of this movie. It unravels the human soul in ways that have since become standardised in cinema.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Emilio Estevez fights a huge-ass truck while AC/DC plays in the background!

House (1985)
A really, really funny underappreciated 80s comedy about a haunted house. The hauntings aren't your run of the mill-poltergeists, but instead the house has spirits that will possess your wife and turn her into a muppet.

The Stepfather (1987)
A fantastic picture ruined by it's horrible score, The Stepfather boots both an original idea and a great execution.

Evil Dead II (1987)
Funniest film ever, or close to it. Slapsticky and subtle at the same time, ED2 goes overboard constantly but still places gags into the background while doing this. It will make you laugh your lungs out.

The Karate Kid (1984)
Rocky for those of us who think Sly in his 20s is too old a role model.

The Entity (1982)
A genuinely scary film, this is yet again one of the few truly good ones on this list. The Entity has a scary as hell-concept, the story never goes where you'd expect and it's so bleak in the end that you don't want to be a woman anymore. Or have an asshole if you're a guy.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
Fantastic visual design is all it takes to make a stupid but effective horror picture.

One of the funniest movies of all time, this zombie parody has naked punk rocker chicks too!

Creeps doesn't have naked chicks that much, but it has a hilarious opening and the most laughable dialogue you'll hear in the 80s. And the delivery, oh the delivery! Such timing, such perfection.

Bad Taste (1987)
It's a splatter movie in the true sense of the word. I enjoy watching it just for that.

Just batfuck insane, reaching satirical qualities when compared to the original one, this is such a deviation from Hooper's first part that it deserves a mention for being this weird. Plus, Bill Moseley is in it.

The Beyond (1981)
A surreal experience and a descension into gore, The Beyond is great fun and a treat visually.

Elm Street 2 is too gay for me not to put it here. It showcases homosexuality in the most tardy way ever, and it's very entertaining while doing so.
VierasTalo's rating:
A celebration of bad film. I love every single one of these more and more every time I see them. Some aren't necessarily bad by general perspective, but these aren't the type of shit you bring home to your mother on thanksgiving.
