The Worst 80s Movies, Movies Beginning with E

I want the absolute worst movies from the 80s, and please tell me why you thought they were the worst movies. Of course, some movies are so bad their good. I don't agree with all the suggestions here. This page goes against what I really believe in, but I think everyone needs to vent a little.

E.T. / 1982
One of the most overrated films of the 1980's. As a kid, I thought the alien was creepy. Now as an adult, I find the movie to be boring & uninteresting. It reminds me of those cheesy kid & creature (dog, horse, orca, alien, etc.) flick that most people would fall asleep with. [Ed. note: This is one man's opinion, just like 80s films that most moviegoers thought were masterpieces (Breakfast Club, Goonies, etc.). Please don't kill the messenger (yours truly.)]
Earth Girls Are Easy / 1988
Who could ever have predicted that a movie with a cast including: Geena Davis, Jim Carrey, Jeff Goldblum, and Damon Wayans would ever be the stupidest movie known to man? Well, when you make Geena Davis lust after phony-looking aliens in pre-Power Ranger costumes. Yikes. This is a complete waste of time and I LOVE IT!
Eddie & The Cruisers / 1980
It didn't...
Enemy Mine / 1985
Oh shoot me please!! I had to watch this movie in 11th grade American Literature, when we were on a unit about prejudice and the Holocaust. Dennis Quaid crashes on a barren planet with an alien. They learn to co-exist, and then the alien gets pregnant, Quaid delivers the baby, and the alien dies. That's how his race exists: They're born, parent dies, they wander, get pregnant asexually, deliver baby, and die. Quaid is repulsed by this. I just really didn't like this film, it was very boring and took 5 days to watch. The acting was good, and I wrote an essay about it for class that I did well on, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Don't let me stop you from seeing it though! not the worst, but not the best.
The Evil Dead / 1982
It had no plot! 4 college kids spend the night in an evil house and accidentally stumble onto a book made out of skin and a record player which plays the "Evil Dead" chant and turns all the kids into Evil Dead. There's this one stupid part where a girl gets attacked by a tree. That is not quality entertainment.
The Explorers / 1985
Combine the elements of "The Goonies" and "Space Camp" and you have the formula behind "The Explorers." Jeez, it was already done the same year--and better--in "The Goonies." A group of boys go on a space adventure after discovering a space ship, despite the fact that nobody believes there is a space ship, or aliens. The highlight of this film was River Phoenix. Just a rip-off. Don't lemme stop you from watching it.
