I've seen one.  The others I've added.  I actually thought I'd seen Jack Frost, but now I believe I've only seen the trailer.   Looking forward to it!  Though I think maybe a couple of your suggestions might prove a little difficult to find.

[Rattrap007]

yeah a few are. Dreamscape is pretty decent. Jack Frost one are very cheesy as is Uncle Sam. So bad they are good kinda films.

Dreamscape is the one I've seen.  I remember liking it.

Kaw is a rip-off of The Birds.  Not an especially good one, but not as bad as one might think from its title or its warmed over premise.  Sean Patrick Flannery is the Sheriff if a small town on his last day of duty before he and his wife pack up and move to the city, when a huge flock (murder, pack, herd, whatever) Ravens go crazy and start attacking people.  There's some kind of explanation as to why, but its some fudged and undercooked thing about some Manaanites and their mad cows...or something, and doesn't really have the courage of The Birds to offer up no explanation whatsoever.  The cast is effective, and the original Birds star Rod Taylor has a role as the small town doctor, but the competency of the cast is not equatable in the special effects department, where the live birds used are fine, but the CGI is pretty awful.  It also has a final 5 minutes that makes you do this:

It is a decent movie and a good concept..

A few of those are kids films I tossed in. I used to do articles for MST Anon and did movies for MST3K. Some of those were suggestions.

Well, if I can get 'em, I'll certainly watch 'em. 

Speaking of which...

Rock n Roll High School precedes quite a lot of those "kids against the establishment" films of the 1980s, but could probably fit right in with movies like Footloose or Porky's, though this particular film has a punk-ish charm that's hard to ignore.  The story pits a loveable, if slightly reckless, teen girl whose infatuation with The Ramones leads her into direct confrontation with the strict headmistress.  There's not really much here in terms of plot, but the movie makes up for it with some surreal set-pieces, cool songs, and one hell of an ending.  It's also quite refreshing in its depiction of teens - how many movies about high school do you watch where girls aren't bitches and at each others throats?

- how many movies about high school do you watch where girls aren't bitches and at each others throats?

About as many as there are high schools where most of the girls aren't bitches and at each others throats...

[THE QUEEN!!!]

I wonder if Rock and Roll High School's mascot is the ROCK AND ROLL MARTIAN!!

This is a trap. There ARE no movies you haven't seen. ;^)

Seriously, though, I see you don't have the Incredible Hulk listed. That one's really good. I also don't see Shaolin Soccer on there. Sakigake!! Kuromati Kôkô: The Movie is actually really good, if a little odd, and the official DVD has pretty good Subtitles, if I recall. Cowboy Bebop rocks pretty hard as anime movies go. I'm seeing a pretty distinct lack of Ernest movies in there too. :^)

I own The Incredible Hulk on Blu-Ray, but haven't gotten around to it.  I have seen Shaolin Soccer, but as per imdb's rules it's the native title that's listed, it's called Siu lam juk kau.   I'm pretty sure I've seen most of the Ernest movies, but it was so long ago that they blur into one, so I can only be sure about a couple of them.

I don't see Six-String Samurai on there.... one of my favorites, check it out if you haven't

Funnily, it's already been suggested.   

I guess I'll have to watch it tonight now!   As soon as I finish with Silence of the Hams... *sigh*

Hmm.  I'll add the entire list to the first page and check off the ones I've seen. 

Poor Billy Zane.  So close to being an A-lister.

2 to add:

Silence of the Hams is the American directorial and film debut of an Italian TV star, named Ezzio Greggio.  How he managed to wrangle enough money together to put this movie into production is probably more interesting than the movie itself, which is just a warmed over parody of Silence of the Lambs and Psycho.  The humour is fired at you rapidly, but the aim is about as good as an Imperial Stormtroopers, missing the mark on every occasion.  Billy Zane looks mildly embarassed in the lead role, and the supporting cast reads a little like a nightmare: Rip Taylor, Larry Storch, Dom DeLuise, John Astin (who gets the only mildly funny thing in the movie), and Phyllis Diller.  Greggio also appears, and though he's not quite as annoying as Roberto Benigni, it's still a blessing that he never really crossed our paths again.

(Now I did kinda promise that I'd watch Six String Samurai next, but something else caught my eye)

Jack Frost is a horror comedy about a sociopathic serial killer who gets transformed into a giant killer snowman and wreaks havoc on a small town getting ready for Christmas.  It has a couple of good moments, and the monster itself isn't that badly realised (even though it's not the most difficult thing to render on screen), but the movie is entirely filled with too many lame jokes about snow, too many horror-stupid cliches, and features 3 false endings.  3!
