Maybe its my inner geek, but I still love Lost in Space! I watched it as a kid, and now its a fun escape from reality...And Angela Cartwright, the girl who played Penny, was my first real crush.

Sledge Hammer! Note my avatar.
I loved it. I went into the police academy about the same time as it came out. It was always good for a laugh or three.

For a movie... ALL of the cheesy Arnold movies, and The Wraith.
The soundtracks back then were just awesome.

1. Big Trouble in Little China
Everybody I know dislikes this movie but me. To me it was a perfect tongue-in-cheek sendup of adventure movies, sort of like Indiana Jones meets Rush Hour. Parts of it are flat out silly, and I love every minute of this movie. I forgive Kurt Russell for making Bone Tomahawk just because he made Big Trouble in Little China.
2. Damnation Alley
They could have done so much more with this movie, but the idea of a bunch of post-nuclear survivors travelling across country in super-cool armored vehicles just can't be topped. I wish someone would remake this with a decent budget and a more exciting ending.
3. Tremors
A cheapie with a silly concept of giant worms somehow having lived undiscovered for millions of years under the US southwest. I never get tired of watching it.
4. Trancers
Another cheapie about time travelers. Low budget but with some original ideas.
5. Flash Gordon
Max Von Sydow IS Ming the Merciless. Another campy attempt at sci fi that is so bad it's good. The special effects look like something a first year film student would do, but when Queen comes on singing "Flash, AAAAAAAh aaah aaaah!" you know you're in the presence of greatness.
Honorable mention:
The Postman
Another Kevin Costner "epic," like Water World. People derisively called it "Dirt World." It drags in spots, but with lots of AR carbines afoot it's a decent if overblown post-Apocalypse movie.
If I think of more I'll come back later.
Megaforce. The ultimate in cheesy, but also had a decent soundtrack.

Last StarFighter- Just a good 80s adventure movie that is a bit syrupy. "We live in Caves on wheels"; "What do we do now?". "We die."
Rock Star- It's not a good movie, light Jennifer Aniston lesbianism, some catchy toons and it doesn't do anything wrong. A good way to waste 90 minutes on a Saturday.

It's that simple.
The Prisoner. Still get a kick out of watching the trial of number 48.
