I have now added the following to my collection.

Brimstone and Treacle (starring Sting) $6.99
Classic Bolo Yeung Movies (starring Bolo Yeung)  $3.99 -  for 3 movies!
A Fistful of Dollars (starring Clint Eastwood) $6.99
Soldier (starring Kurt Russell) $4.99
Leprechaun 4 - In Space (starring Warwick Davis) $3.99

Any suggestions as to which order I should see them in?

Definitely watch this one first. It sounds like an obscure intellectual art-house classic...maybe.

As suggested Leprechaun 4 - In Space was the first one to hit the dvd player.  Ah, what finely aged cheese!

Surprisingly watchable (and featuring one extremely gratuitous boob shot as well as a hero who strips to the waist for the final showdown) this movie must have been done on an ultra-low budget.  The sets look like they've done time in the porn business (as do several of the cast members).  The special effects are something you'd find on a home computer.

Warwick Davis does some brilliant scenery chewing in grand style.  It's not going to win any awards but I can think of several worse ways to spend 98 minutes.  I may even put it up as a review, if I get the time...

I love that movie.  Especially the hot marine babe and her rather...preempted make out scene with her boyfriend.  Most of those are good movies.  I haven't seen Brimstone and Treacle in many years.  Sting gives a great performance.  Prepare yourself for something that's rather slow moving though.  Soldier is good as well.  Kurt Russel turns in a good performance.

In Spaaaace!....that was a classic example of a ripe gouda, aged in B sauce. I can smell it even now...

Soldier : A tragic story, told with surprising restraint. Russel did wisely by not makeing his character have a sudden epiphiny. He always acted like a man who had been damaged by his up bringing, and had no knowlage of how to be human....untill...

I always liked Soldier, but there are a lot of folks that downright hate it.  I think the  way Russell played the character was great.  The  reason a lot of people don't like it is that Paul W.S. Anderson directed it.

I've only seen part of the first Leprachaun with the very young Jennifer Aniston in it. I saw her asked in an interview if there were any parts she didn't like to remember. She  said yes, but wouldn't mention the name.

Brimstone and Treacle  was number two on the list to watch.  It was purchased because I saw it years ago and was impressed by Sting's performance.  For a non-actor, he managed to hold his own very well against two veterans.  I think it is one of those little gems that you come across every so often.  Sting's character is delightfully creepy.  I had forgotten the ending, after he runs off and is looking to pick up a new mark.....

I saw it on tv once (I think it was Masterpiece Theatre or some variation thereof).  The host was clearly not a fan of singers turned actor and panned Sting's performance.  He also indicated that the role had been originally slated for David Bowie(!)  something he thought of as a crime against nature.  If that had indeed been the case, I wonder it there would have been a poster of Sting on the bedroom wall.......

Watched Soldier.

Kurt Russell is brilliant in it.  With a word count somewhere below 100, he still manages to portray the humanization of his character through facial expressions and body language.  I agree with the idea that an epiphany would have been out of place.
