Name for me some of the cheesiest 80's movies you can think of?

Question

My online movie queue is almost empty, and I want to reload it with some movies of my childhood era.  Everytime I get into a conversation about the 80's (and it happens quite often), I am reminded of yet another movie that I just have to see again.  Can you help me remember some more movies?  The more obscure, the better.

Gymkata,

it's the "enter the dragon" storyline rehashed yet once again.
bunch of different fighters get invited to some remote backwards country to compete for (oh, does it really matter?).

our hero's a gymnast. 

at one point he defeats a bunch of cannibal mutants by performing a pommel horse routine

quite possibly the most terrible movie ever, but one of those that you can't really tear yourself away from.

The Last Dragon,

again martial arts themed. our hero, Leroy ('Bruce Leroy') saves the girl and defeats Sho'Nuff ("Who's da master?")

The Warriors,

this was actually '79, but unlike the other movies i listed here, this one's actually pretty good. cheese factor comes in all the costumes the various gangs wear (one gang's uniform is rollerscates and rugby shirts) and the very seriously spoken jive. great great movie.

quite In pink, Valley lady (particularly cheesy...has Nicolas Cage in it in spite of the incontrovertible fact that), St. Elmo's hearth, sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's time without work, invoice and Ted's superb journey, extraordinary technology...quite lots attempt something with Molly Ringwald or Anthony Michael corridor in it.
