That's the trouble with this thread: the OP asked for cheesy 80s films, but everyone is listing classic (80s) films.

A movie can't be a classic and cheesy?

Top Gun is a classic, but it's also pure cheese

Stand By Me, not cheese. Good flick

Ferris Bueller's Day of, not cheese. Great flick.

Indiana Jones, not cheese. Great flicks.

Shame on me for not thinking about Flashdance, Footloose, or Howard the Duck.

The 80's a post glam/disco, big hair era giving way to the grunge period. The good times, yeah....right!

I propose a new rule: You have to actually have your own list before you can dispute others'.

Secret of My Success - actually has merit and I like Michael J Fox. But the music is pure 100% 80s cheese.

Teen Wolf and Teen Wolf Two - identical movies except one is basketball and the other boxing. More cheese than a cheddar factory.

Terminator - compared to the sequel it looks very dated now. Music = cheese.

Potergeist 2 - Scared me to death when I was 10, but at 27...cheese, no better word exists.

Flight of the Navigator - great movie, actually, and a worthwhile science-fiction story, but has moments of sheer cheese - singing the Beach Boys with the alien-space-craft thingie that's friendly...unutterably cheesy I'm afraid. A kids' movie, mind you.

C0cktail - Tom Cruise = epitome of 80s cheese. All teenage girls had a poster of Cocktail on their wall and it's actually quite a nice poster, but appalling cheese as a movie.

Those would be my nominations.

Back to the Future, Labyrinth, Goonies, Feris Bueller...NOT CHEESE!

!

I owned the poster! and had seen the movie 4 times at the cinema, then rented it on video about 10 times! all in the same year it had come out!
then I bought the video tape, and had watched it about 50 times!
I had memorized everyones dialog of that film! you couldnt sit in a room and watch that movie with me! I pretty much wrote that movie!
yes I became a bartender! and yes I was a show bartender! flipping bottles and all that jazz! of course that come about 3 years later when I was legal to work in a bar! and yes I had a crush on elisabeth shue! but she already had me from the karate Kid and A Night on the Town ..
but she was more ummm developed in coktail Laughing
that film was awesome! the goldern rasberry award! WHATEVER!!
the film rocks!!

Ok so why hasn't anybody mentioned War Games with Matthew Broderick yet?!? Possibly one of the cheesiest movies out there. Every time I hear the computer say "Want to play a game" I think ,"My hand held calculator is more advanced than you!"
