You can list 2 movies if you'd like, TopBilled. No one's going to come after you with meathooks if you wanna list two '80s flix!
THE RIPPER (1985-Shot on video sludge)
and
BOARDINGHOUSE (1982-A very early SOV pile of sludge that somehow netted a theatrical release after its debut on homevideo [the PARAGON label released it; I used to own a copy]. It's amateur-night garbage, but I'm sure it made money!

I've gotta say I wouldn't mind seeing Warren Beatty's 'Directors Cut' of DICK TRACY (1990). It runs 30 minutes longer than the theatrical version and he's got a copy of it. But I don't recall this version ever being released to homevideo or having a latter-day theatrical screening.
Warren only appeared in 2 movies released in the entirety of the '80s: REDS (1981) and ISHTAR (1987).

ROAD HUSTLERS, The (1968) Drive-in "B"-movie fodder from the late '60s with a good cast.
I don't know how to put up a poster pic of the movie otherwise I would. I don't know how y'all do that stuff! It's like an alien concept to my poxed brain! (My brain →🧠 ).

There's definitely no shortage of stars who didn't age well. Smoking and drinking and being out in the Sun a lot adds wrinkles upon wrinkles. It's easier for me to think of old-time movie stars who DID age well because there are fewer of them.
I recall Leonard Maltin's review of LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON (1957) began with "Forget age difference between Cooper and Hepburn . . . ". He gave it 3½ starts out of 4 (!).

Warren Beatty's only been in 23 movies in 60 years. Seems like he was in more movies than that, but he hasn't been. Just twenty-three films since 1961, the last being RULES DON'T APPLY (2016).

♣ WELCOME TO THE 1980s ♣
The thing about the 1980s is that, beginning around 1985, there was a proliferation of made-for-video movies being shot on videotape. Nearly all of these films were low-grade garbage . . . but it didn't really matter. The homevideo industry was apparently ravenous for 'product' at this time. So in this decade there's not only theatrical movies and made-for-network television movies, but also made-for-cable movies and shot-on-video movies released directly to the homevideo market. Whew!
I think for this thread I would ask any poster to list 2 movies instead of the customary one because there's so darn many features from the 1980s to list!
I'll start with:
WINDOWS (1980)
and
WOODCHIPPER MASSACRE (1988) Shot on video. The director said it cost $400 to shoot, not including the price of the camera.
