Too long a list...
In no particular order:

Ice Pirates - Space Herpies.
Trancers - Helen Hunt in crappy sci-fi.
Return of the Living Dead - hilarious. Best Zombie and Best Naked Zombie - also check out Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout.
Creepshow - first horror movie I ever saw - scared the crap out of me.
Quatermass and the Pit - alien grasshoppers and the Devil.
Conan the Barbarian - Godawful acting, script, etc. but lots of boobies. And swords.
Excalibur - more swords and boobies.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eight Dimension - hilarious, full of stars before they made it, completely trippy.
Back to the Future - 'cos it's fun.
Doctor Who - the first movie (might be called Doctor Who and the Daleks, can't remember).
Zardoz - Sean Connery in a nappy can't be beaten. Also lots of boobies.
The Evil Dead - and almost any movie starring Bruce Campbell.
Army of Darkness - another Campbell flick.
Guest House Paradiso - giant ball of sick.
Goldmember - hilarious. Sharks with frikkin' lasers.
Forbidden Planet - Robby the Robot.
Lifeforce - alien vampires. And boobies. Based on a book called "Space Vampires" I read when a young 'un and only recently tracked down again.
O Brother Where Art Thou? - hilarious.
The Incredibles - Just really, really good Pixar stuff.
The Thing - original had an alien carrot in it, second version by John Carpenter with Kurt Russell was far, far better. Pretty much anything by John Carpenter. A rare example of the remake being better then the original.
Big Trouble in Little China - very, very funny. Immortal ghost wants to become flesh by sacrificing Kim Cattral. Another John Capenter flick with Kurt Russel.
They Live - another John Carpenter flick. Aliens stripping the planet of natural resources. They look like us - unless you're wearing sunglasses! A classic starring an ex-wrestler (a hallmark of all good movies).
Escape from New York - another Carpenter flick, also starring Kurt Russel.
Prince of Darkness - the Devil's son is a big, green swirly thing. Another John Carpenter.
Brainstorm - starring the coolest man in the world.
Bladerunner, Fifth Element, Superman II, yada yada yada.

Can you guess how old I am? The clue is the word "boobies".

Shock and awe!
Buckaroo Banzai, Ice Pirates, Lifeforce, etc.... proper movies from the heyday of video for me.

by far.
