I don't think Ace Ventura is exactly retro 
AV: Pet Detective - 1994
AV: When Nature Calls - 1995
Might not be retro, but they still rock ass and make the cut by OP's standards.

Mines are:
ZARDOZ (Sean Connery as gun a toting barbarian, a cache of elite scientists locked by their own will in an alternate dimension where time didnt pass? Flying Heads that demand food? People dying of being too old yet too young?
ALTERED STATES Is it me or movies in the 80's went ultra high on dope to get ideas? A guy that travels THROUGH him in TIME so far so far he almost makes himself dissapear out of existence? FOr me my favorite scene is the Adam-EVE impersonation of them in some kind of tea table, all dressed in white with a big snake behind them, while they smile moronically in a bliss, then BOOM!!! Pretty Metaphoric.
DUNE (I love the whole cosmology and background)
Tod Browning's FREAKS ( Is still a bit shocking to modern people, even tho it was filmed a loooong time ago)
Prince of Darkness I just love 80's terror movies, they had weird ideas mixed with classical gore (Damnation messages from the future?)
Videodrome Another horror movie with the ultra awesome TV scene, and more weird ideas , a man that lives eternally thru thousands of VHS tapes? A dark raw satellite feed that leads you to a weird horror dimension? (this is 1984 we talking)
Amytiville (Classic!) Bleeding Walls ... heh
Logan's Run Up to this day, even tho the movie is so so, I still remember the Silver plated Robot ... Evil REM and his food cache.
Excalibur I learned Karl Orff existed thanx to this movie (the "you know the kewl excalibur movie music?" effect )
Demon Seed A Puter that impregnates a Woman? Man I loved the late 70's and 80's , they had all these neat new original ideas!!! 
I could go ON and ON ... honestly all I am doing is looking at my DVD rack >:P <--- I'm a Horror-Sci Fi-Fantasy Movie Geek, and don't get me started on non US Movies from the 80's. For some reason In my country during the late 80's all I could see for free on the TV were those movies I mentioned to you earlier LOL. I'm still missing the names of a couple movies , so I could order them thru Amazon or somewhere like that, let's see if some of you ever saw 'em .
One all I remember is a group of people struggling to survive against HORDES of Ants, I mean, there's like 10 MINUTES of film where all u see is thousand of extremely WEIRD LOOKING real life ants getting smashed over over with rocks they had developed some kind of sonic system to destroy 'em, and it was a pretty old movie, perhaps late 70's, best part is that the ant smashing fest was with some weird groovy background music! wich was the sound of the sonic device used to kill them.
The other movie was about a guy that CLONED himself , he was a proffesor or something in a university, and the clone had the habit of killing people, and without a special drug (dont remember well) the clone began having the shakes or something and his eyes went totally white and almost out of his eyesockets, pretty gross. 
Oh! and as a Bonus ... remember Porky's?

I thought this is one where he was doing regression drugs and laying in an isolation chamber, and he somehow de-evolved his mind to a more primative period during human evolution. (I remember him chucking a rock at a goat and hitting it upside the head at a zoo. And then he recalled what he thought was a past-life experience but in reality it was him killing and then drinking the blood of the goat.)
Some music video copied the scene where its at the end of the movie in the hall and hes de-evolving past a primative human and he's slamming his body back a forth against the walls trying to pull himself back to the present and hes all glowing red (in classic early 80's special effects).
Was it the A-Ha video "Take on Me" maybe?

Yeap that's the movie, but I remember the "Aha Take on me" Video, and it was mostly a cartoonish black and white video, hmmm . Can't really quite connect it to the movie itself , but who knows, with enough drugs like the one ones William Hurt was ingesting, you could prolly see they are connected on some deeper level  . Is it me or plain out odd, weird, freaky and totally psychodelic , dreamlike, spiritual movie mix combos had a huge boom in the late 70's and 80's?
