Most of my choices have already been mentioned. I have pretty much every movie in this thread on my HDD.

The Last American Virgin

In the Porky's vein, but very gritty.
Three posts up, but this one is special. It's a remake of an Israeli movie called Lemon Popsicle and was funded by a drug dealer, Eddie "The Nash" Nash, who was made famous through his portrayal in the John Holmes biopic, Wonderland.

It's a goofy 80's "let's all get laid" comedy, but the ending is so depressing that I don't even want to think about it. Everything you ever needed to know about women, you can learn from this movie. It's a must-watch.

I actually owned this book. Never read and don't know how I got it. It never appealed to me.

Was going to add this myself. Would like to add few more Fantasy movies:

Conan the Barbarian: 1st one was great and has some awesome scenes especially when Conan attacks the orgy



Excalibur: Still by far my favorite movie portrayal of Arthurian legend (minus the Holy Grail of course_



Flesh+Blood: Gritty medieval mercenary movie, off the radar and really good. Paul Verhoeven did many other 80's classics.
