Slept on it, looked through my DVD tower, etc, came up with part 2 (some are 1970s or 2000s - I didn't feel like separating them out by decade though; the majority are 1980s or 1990s though):
Jurassic Park, The Terminator, Terminator 2, Mission: Impossible, Small Soldiers, The Jackal, Office Space, Titan A.E., The Iron Giant, Under Siege 2, Masterminds, A View to A Kill, Armageddon, Frequency, Deep Impact, The Arrival, Universal Soldier, Soldier (distinct from Universal Soldier), Barb Wire, The Associate, Battle Beyond The Stars, Flubber (the remake), Dune, Inspector Gadget, The Avengers, The Rock, Entrapment, Get Carter,
If you let me cheat and add some movies from the 1970s and early 2000s I'd also add:
Boiler Room, Evolution, Panic Room, Flightplan, The Core, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, I Robot, The Italian Job, The Black Hole, Swordfish, Robots, Terminator 3, and the Matrix sequels, along with basically all of the Die Hard movies (1, 2, and 4 most of all - 1 and 2 fit your original 1980s-1990s time scale), and Star Wars/Star Trek movies (most of which fit into the 1980s time-scale).
If you want to expand into television series (not all of which are in your time-scale) I'd also add:
- Star Trek TNG
- Leverage
- CSI
- Knight Rider
- Viper
- Children of Dune (mini-series)
- Six Million Dollar Man
- The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest
- Batman: Beyond
If I come up with anything else, I'll post a part 3.
