Too many.
Mostly horror films. I remember going to the local 'VHS' store and perusing the horror section for many, many hours. Looking at the gory front and back covers, and wondering whether I could handle it or not.
I used to get my mother to write me a note with her phone number on it letting me hire certain 'R' rated films. The guy serving would call up my mum and ask her if it was OK if I hired A Nightmare on Elm Street, Dawn of the Mummy, Maniac and The Evil Dead.
It got to the point where I didn't need a note and would just walk in there and he'd let me hire what I wanted (I never tried a tits and arse softie, though). This was from the age of about 12 to 15 years old.
The one film that stuck with me and I loved as a kid growing up was Dirty Harry.
