Nice genre invention of mine. The Cheesy Pot Boiler.... 
Well, The Fan - 81' is a good start. Well intentioned, top cast and less than sterling presentation in preparing the pot. It is still fun in an awful kind of way.
Oh, I love this one, Visiting Hours - 82'. This one is actually quite suspenseful and does everything right that The Fan gets wrong. Lee Grant, Michael Ironside, Linda Purl and William Shatner.
Vice Squad - 82'. Nifty little sleaze thriller about a psycho who has more love for his pimp stick, moreso than for his whores.
10 To Midnight - 83'. Bronson stalks a impotent psycho that likes to get nude for his kills. Quite well acted, but also a very sleazy and ugly looking film.
If you haven't seen em', that should keep you going.
Dang, I haven't seen any of them. Hmm, they sound like I might find them great fun, but I'm still trying to get a frame of reference. Have you seen Single White Female (1992)? Would you say that's in the ballpark, or maybe a Neo-Cheesy Pot Boiler? I *love* that.
