We discussed it in another thread recently, but if I'm in the mood for an 80s slasher, Hell Night is a far better option for me than any of the Halloween, Friday the 13th, or Elm Street movies.

Deathstalker II. The director and cast are having so much fun that it's fun to watch.

Greatly disappointed the first time I saw it. Far less interesting than the original poster art for it.
I recently re-watched it, and going in knowing more of what (and what NOT) to expect, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Glad I didn't immediately sell it off after that first viewing, like I would have done in the old days.
Too many to list for me as well, but a few that immediately come to mind-
William Friedkin's The Brink's Job (1978)
The Big Fix (1978)
Who'll Stop the Rain (1978)
The Black Marble (1980)
I Start Counting (1970)

More American Graffiti - Considered a bomb sequel but I've always enjoyed it. I like the parallel story structure of it.
Hope and Glory - the rare 1980's Best Picture nominee that isn't even available to purchase on VUDU. A wonderful autobiographical film by Excalibur director John Boorman about London during the Blitz. It's pretty much totally forgotten now.
