They are some what like a cult classics too. Right next to those DVDs I have "Brazil", "The Toxic Avenger" and "Ed Wood"
Oh crappola....I just remembered that I gave away "I spit on your grave" years ago. 
It was the 1978 version and it was on VHS too.

"Shock Treatment"
It was written by the same guys that did the "Rocky Horror Picture Show". Awesome music, and very prophetic. It was released in 1981 and basically predicted reality TV.
It was horribly mis-marketed as a sequel to "Rocky Horror" It's not really. It used the characters Brad and Janet, but that was about the only thing in common.
It's (at the time) crazy concept of people being on a game show, winning a part in another soap-opera type show, and basically then being a prisoner to the TV industry is so freakish accurate watching it now..
Also, "Streets of Fire". Fantasy action movie. It's tag line was a "rock 'n roll fable" is an accurate description.
It was a mixture of 50's, 60's, 70's and early 80's music, rock-n-roll culture to do a kick-ass retelling of Sir Lancelot's rescue of Guinevere from the evil Méléagant.
I will defend that movie until my dying day.
It also has one of the Best Fights scenes ever:
And most people have no idea that song came from this movie..

The Toxic Avenger gets my vote

Oh man, I was going to say Bad Taste! I have been looking for that movie for a few years now...
When I was a teenager I found it in the local video store on VHS, and I was rolling in laughter within the first few minutes.
My favorite scene is when the rocket launcher blows up the sheep, I rewound and watched that part like 20 times!
Or, "I'm born again!" Lol
My wife got on a Troma kick a while back, and came home one day with Teenage Catgirls In Heat. Not sure it's a Troma release, but it's along the same lines. When the human versions of the cats start talking, I just about lost it. One of the funniest things I've seen. Also, when 'cats' start jumping off roofs, the visual is pretty funny - think, 'these old balled up socks look kind of like cats!'
Street Trash was also a good 'bad' movie. I don't recall a ton of it, but still vividly recall the 'keep away' scene.
