Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama - 1988

This movie pretty much rules. I mean, you've got sorority babes, genies, nerds, slimeballs, and bowling. What else is there? In life?

The Intruder - 1989

Okay, I could have sworn that I posted this trailer before, but perhaps I didn't. Maybe I just watched it and, upon viewing this absolute treasure, passed out from the sheer excitement I felt having seen it. Anyway, it's about a guy who's killing people in a grocery store after hours. Sam and Ted Raimi both have parts. What else do you need to know?

This post might, on the surface, seem like an appeal to fans of eighties comedies and Kim Basinger, but it's not. It's actually for Buffy fans, as this movie features both Alyson Hannigan and Seth Green, who, of course, later worked together as Willow and Oz, possibly the best coupling on the show. (I know, you're gonna say Angel and Buffy's romance was epic, but, whatever; she's a witch and he's a werewolf. It's awesome). There's other stuff to, but that's what's important about this movie to me.

Cocaine Wars - 1985

Hello? Am I alone in here? Anyone feel like posting besides me? Aw, well...

Anyhoo, here's a teaser trailer for a classic eighties piece of shit called Cocaine Wars. It's actually only about one war, but pluralizing is awesome, so whatevs. It follows the convoluted tale of DEA agent Cliff Adams as he works for a cocaine czar in South America who's attempting to assassinate the president. For some reason, Cliff's wife is doing a news story on the drug lord, so he kidnaps her. Only Cliff can stop the madman from killing a president and save his wife's life! ZOMG!

Valley Girl - 1983

In keeping with the trail leading from Real Genius, here's the trailer for Valley Girl, a romantic comedy adored by every girl I've ever met. An early Nicholas Cage role, kickass soundtrack and totally vital discrepancy of class overcome... Yep, that's the formula for success. Anyway, this was directed by Martha Coolidge, who later directed Real Genius.

House II: The Second Story - 1987

I see your Ghoulies and raise you House II: The Second Story, a movie about a kid returning to his grandfather's home and discovering a crystal skull that allows him to travel through dimensions, aiding his undead gunfighting great grandfather and pursued by another undead gunfighter who wants the skull. They also fight dinosaurs and weird monsters. And that mailman from Cheers plays the exterminator called in to help rid the house of rodents but apparently also deals with monsters.
