Action Jackson
Carl Weathers stars as the take-no-prisoners cop (he does take prisoners, though) among a great supporting cast including Sharon Stone, Craig T. Nelson, Robert Davi and Bill Duke. Great fun.
Bad Influence
James Spader is the spineless executive, who meets Rob Lowe, who is the exact opposite, and a very bad influence. Gripping thriller from Curtis Hanson.
Best Of The Best
Like, No Retreat, No Surrender meets The Karate Kid. Eric Roberts, James Earl Jones and Christopher Penn star as a Martial Arts team must travel to compete in a competition in Korea. Cue the usual big speeches and training montages.
Black Dynamite
Hilarious Blaxploitation spoof. Reviewed here.
Bloodfist
Just like Best Of The Best really, but all the acting is done by actual fighters, led by Don 'The Dragon' Wilson, and also featuring Billy Blanks. Cult stuff, but you can really tell there are not many actual actors in the film!
The Brothers Soloman
Deeply silly comedy starring Will Arnett and Will Forte as brothers who look for the perfect mate so they can give their dying father a grandchild.
The Defender
Dolph Lundgren plays Lance Rockford (really), on the detail of the head of the NSA as they go to a peace meeting in Eastern Europe. Jerry Springer plays the President (really). Has to be seen to be believed.
Eye For An Eye
Hardened cop Chuck Norris seeks out the murderer of his partner, in an all star lineup. Christopher Lee plays the bad guy, Richard Roundtree, Chuck's boss. Mako and Professor Toru Tanaka also star.
Hatchet
One of the best horror films in recent times. Group of idiots go on New Orleans boat ride, and get picked off one by one. Gore packed and brilliantly written, featuring appearances from Robert Englund, Tony Todd and Kane Hodder.
Hot Rod
The Lonely Island did a film. See it!
House Of The Devil
Retro feeling horror about a babysitter in danger. Contains a creepy performance from Tom Noonan.
Hunt To Kill
Decent little action film starring Steve Austin. Nothing original but contains a great fight scene with Gary Daniels, and a small role from Eric Roberts.
Martin
George A. Romero does teenage vampire angst before Twilight was even thought of, and obviously it's way better. One of Romero's favourite films of his.
Martyrs
Shocking French psychological horror, but that doesn't even scratch the surface. Review here.
Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus
Purposely stupid creature vs creature 'horror'. Hilariously bad. Features Debbie Gibson as a scientist.
Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy
Amazing, in depth documentary about the making of all the Elm Street movies. Runs for 4 hours, and it's nowhere near long enough. Only available on import DVD, hunt it out.
The Room
The worst film ever made? Maybe. But also one of the most entertaining. Review here.
Pump Up The Volume
Christian Slater is mysterious, rabble rousing late night cult DJ and shy teenager whilst at school. After one of his listeners kills themselves, the authorities are called in to shut the show down.
Showdown In Little Tokyo
Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee are detectives who team up to fight the Yakuza. All action, and great fun.
Toy Soldiers
Terrorists take over a boarding school and Sean Astin, Will Wheaton and Lou Gossett Jr. must stop them. Sounds crap, but it's a great little film. Andrew Divoff is the terrorists leader and is fantastic.
Universal Soldier: Regeneration
Even I thought this was going to be bad, but Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren return and confound expectation. This should have been on at the cinema, not go straight to DVD.
Vamp
An 80s high school comedy...but with vampires. Grace Jones stars as the head vampire in this cult classic.

I count four of those I've seen - that's really not good enough, is it? :(
Depends what four lol (I know Vamp is one!)
Vamp, Martin, Martyrs and (gulp) Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus!!
I should have known Martyrs and Martin, but this means you haven't seen Hatchet or Hot Rod?
If you start with a new rental place, get them to the top of the list!
And Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus...nice work sir :-D
