I have googled this and tried before with no luck. Might have been made for TV movies.

1. 80's movie - a guy in New York City (or some big city), there is a skeleton or something that attacks him in a cave or a tunnel or a sewer. He stabs something, and it turns out it's his friend, and he was hallucinating some kind of Dungeons and Dragons Fantasy.

2. 80's movie. There's something about a dimension that is getting deconstructed and a group of workmen in coveralls (who have been turned into green silouettes by 80's video technology - they're sort of greened out) are using pickaxes to destroy everything in the dimension, they are using pickaxes on a car near the protagonist on a street. (Might be a canadian film - might have been an afterschool special on Nickelodeon)

3. 80's movie People Running through doors really fast being chased by some flying object that is going to kill them (I suspect this might be one of the Hellraiser series?)

4. 80's movie Might be a swamp thing - some swamp thing/creature from the black lagoon looking creature crawls through an underground network of caves and comes up in someones bathroom. The creature gets injured and returns to the caves.

Number Three is one of the Phantasm movies. The rest will take some time.

3 is Phantasm II - for sure! Thanks!

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasm_II ::

"Wandering through the mortuary, Liz is targeted by a sphere but is shoved to safety by Mike. Together they run but Liz is grabbed by a henchman. They struggle and the sphere impales the henchman’s hand to a door, drilling through. A second sphere appears and the henchman produces a hatchet to lop off his hand and escape. <b>The sphere locks on to Mike and Liz but they manage to shut a door between them. The sphere burns through the door and uses a laser to search for them. It detects a rat and incinerates it. They run and it follows, burning through each door they try to bar its way with. </b>The henchman reappears and captures Liz but the sphere transfixes him. Then it burrows into his back, up through his torso and lodges between his jaws."
