15. Rhinestone (1984, Bob Clark)
Dream to Believe is a gymnastics movie starring a really fucking awkwardly adorable Olivia D'Abo, with a really fucking adorable run, and also stars Keanu Reeves, and it's amazing, and the greatest, most perfect 80's movie that has ever been made.
Breakin' 2 is like 90% dancing.
Roller Boogie is about rollerskating and class warfare, and it's from 1979, but whatever, I guess it was ahead of its time, because it's hella 80's.
Breakin' is about breakdancing and class warfare.
Rad is about a BMX race, and there's a really good bike dance scene, and Lori Loughlin is in it.
Just One of the Guys is about a girl who pretends to be a boy for awhile to write a newspaper article, but then she falls in love with another boy, but it's not gay because she has tits.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains is about a girl punk band led by an adorable Diane Lane.
Thrashin' is about the tough lifestyle of skateboarders.
The Forbidden Dance is about dancing and saving the rainforest, and it's also not technically from the 80's, but is totally an 80's movie.
Foxes is about Jodie Foster and her friends, and the rough lives of teenage girls, and I kind of wish it was a little campier, but it still works.
9 to 5 is about how getting even is a full-time job.
Gimme An 'F' is a cheerleader movie, and there's a really good dance scene with a male cheerleader in an enormous shower.
Teachers is about Nick Nolte trying to make a difference, starting with Ralph Macchio.
Heavenly Bodies is about aerobicizing, and class warfare.
Rhinestone is about Dolly Parton teaching Sylvester Stallone how to be a country singer.

Silent Night, Deadly Night is about a killer Santa.

Island of the Damned is about an island of children who have killed all the adults, and eventually one of the adults fights back.
Demons is about people at a movie theater turning into demons and fucking shit up.
Saw 2 has some really fucked up stuff in it, and stands out quite a bit from the other two in the series.
Black Christmas is about a creepy crank caller/murderer.
They Live is about capitalist aliens getting their ass kicked by Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David, who also fight each other.
The Thing has really incredible special effects.
Carrie is a remake starring Angela Bettis, and she's really great in it, and the movie was way more enjoyable than I expected it to be.

13. Emanuelle in America (1977, Joe D'Amato)
14. Keyholes Are For Peeping (1972, Doris Wishman)
15. Final Justice (1985, Greydon Clark)
Savage Streets was already mentioned on the Linda Blair list, and it's violent and sleazy and the rape scene is one of the most disturbing I've ever seen.
Street Trash is dirty bumsploitation with lots of meltings and even a spontaneous combustion.
The Amazing Transplant is perfect trash, and I just reviewed it a few weeks ago, so you can look for that if you're interested.
Rape Squad is maybe my favorite ever movie title, and it's a rapesploitation flick and the rapist is pretty amazing.
Black Shampoo is one of the greatest blaxploitation movies I've ever seen.
The Wizard of Gore and Two Thousand Maniacs are awesome, bloody HGL weirdness, and possibly belong on the horror list, I don't know.
They Don't Cut the Grass Anymore could also be on the horror list, and it's ridiculously, hilariously gory.
Cinderella is a softcore musical remake starring one of my favorite actresses, Rainbeaux Smith, and it was also produced by Charles Band.
Sorceress is a cheesy fantasy movie about twin girls who are apparently disguised as boys, and they have a fun fantasy adventure.
A Cat in the Brain is basically a bunch of gore scenes loosely cobbled together into some kind of plot, and Fulci stars in it as himself.
Women In Cages is a women-in-prison movie starring Pam Grier and Roberta Collins, and I watched kind of a lot of WIP movies this year, and this was definitely the best.
Emanuelle In America is another collection of sleazy sex and gore scenes rounding out a barely coherent plot, and there's some snuff footage that looks pretty good, and some real beastiality.
Keyholes Are For Peeping is more Wishman trash, and the lead is pretty amazing/retarded.
Final Justice stars Joe Don Baker as a sheriff who drinks a lot of milk and says "Go 'head on" over and over again before shooting people.
The Top 13 Acting Performances I Saw In 2006

3. Mark Wahlberg in Fear
4. Linda Blair in Sarah T. - Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic
