"Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982)
Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew face off against Khan (Ricardo Montalban), a space pirate from the original "Trek" TV series, who's been exiled on a desert planet for the past 15 years and is now back looking for revenge.
Faster moving and more action oriented than the plodding, dull as dirt first "Trek" movie, "Khan" became a massive hit that pretty much saved the franchise from oblivion. I've never been much more than a casual "Trek" fan but this is simply a great sci-fi/action flick.

Boardinghouse (1982)

It's the first horror movie EVER to be shot on video.  And it looks it.  The special effects look like they could have come from a $20 gift card to Spirit Halloween. 

I ... think it has a plot. 

Some weird new age possibly psychic guy that likes to hang out in bikini briefs inherits a decent looking house with a pool and puts an add in the paper for beautiful women to come live with him for every cheap rent.  Despite how creepy and desperate his ad makes him sound, a dozen or so women show up.  They mostly hang out by the pool in swimsuits.  or less.  Frequently less. 

They also get killed.  Because ... the house is possessed?  Haunted?  I got no clue.  I had a hard time paying attention.

There also a really weird (even more weird than the owner) poolboy/handyman in the worst wig you've ever seen that hands around being creepy.  The movie sets him up as a murder red herring.  Also two other people at the house begin to show psychic powers.

It's an absolutely horrible and worthless movie by ever single definition of the word. I would recommend it just so you can see how bad it is.  ... and then I fully expect you to hate me.

Well, it wasn't on my radar, but at the screening of Backrooms I ran into an acquaintance who is a major film geek and he was looking forward to seeing it. Then I saw Mark Kermode rave about it on youtube, so I decided to give it a go.
