The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981) Jack Nicholson & Jessica Lange as drifter & cook who murder her diner-owing husband for insurance in the highly sexualized remake of the '46 noir classic. Angelica Huston was a lion tamer. I far prefer the original though the added brutality comes from the book

Sleepaway Camp (1983) Not the goriest slasher, not the sexiest slasher, but it's got the best story and the best characters with the best dialog, so I'd call it the best slasher. and that's that.
