I’ve got two distinct memories of scenes from when I was maybe 8 or 9 (so late 80s early 90s).
One is a horror movie where a bunch of street punk teenagers are killed on a roller coaster. The person operating the coaster seemed to want to kill rowdy teenagers.
The other was a movie where a woman is keeping a man in a cage in her house for a king period of time. Her intent is to kill him and eat him later in the movie.
Bugged me for years and then I decided I was maybe misremembering these scenes and that these movies don’t exist.

Not sure at all about the first one, but could the second one be Tales From The Darkside: The Movie? Debbie Harry was a witch that was fattening up a boy in a cage. He prolonged her from cooking him by telling her horror stories, which is what the rest of the movie was!

Oh my goodness, that’s it!
I just watched the clip on YouTube and instantly recognized the opening frame. Debbie Harry was one of my first ever celebrity crushes, which is why I think this stuck in my brain in such a vague and fuzzy way.
Seriously, thank you!

You are welcome! I haven’t watched it in quite a while, but it stuck with me, too!

Is the rollercoaster one Nothing but Trouble?

That’s it! Google the scene and this is the movie. Wow. Reddit is 2 for 2 today on solving my 30+ year movie mysteries.

Could this be The New Kids (1985)? It's about a bunch of delinquents who terrorize two nice teens who just arrived in town, and the climax takes place at the nice kids' uncle's amusement park.
