List the top 10 films you'd want riffed

[bigmattyg]

Pretty new to the forums, and some of these are kinda obscure, but here goes:
10 - House of the Dead.  Uwe Boll must be stopped!  Plus, Clint Howard!
9 - Flash Gordon.  I heard they had to overdub all of Sam Jones' lines, cause he was just that bad.  Plus, "First wave, Diiiiiive!"
8 - The Haunting (Newer Version).  Took a classic and killed it.  Liam Neeson almost gets drowned by a statue, Owen Wilson decapitated by a fireplace, Catherine Zeta Jones tryin to seduce Lili Taylor!
7 - Escape from LA.  Just for the surfing scene.
6 - Icebreaker. Sean Astin is a heroic Ski Patrol guy (!) trying to keep the best actor working today, Bruce Campbell (with a shaved head), and his band of terrorists from taking a ski chalet hostage.  Yeah, it's just that retarded.
5 - Exorcist 2, The Heretic.  Every time Richard Burton says the word "evil" in the movie (and he says it a lot) he adds four "e's" to the front of it "Eeeeevil!"
4 - Leonard Part 6.  Bill Cosby hawking coca-cola and dancing in ballet slippers.  Also, weird subplot with his daughter getting married to an old guy.  Ewwww!
3 - Rat Pfink a Boo Boo.  It's out on DVD now and it's unbelievably bad.  A parody of the original "Batman" (which was already a parody) using maybe a tenth of the budget (even though they already had a low budget).  Horrible!
2 - Firewalker.  Ripping off Raiders of the Lost Ark, but doing it with no money, Lou Gossett, and, of course, Chuck Norris.  The joke possibilities are endless!  Plus, more continuity errors than you can shake a stick at.
And, coming in a number one....
MEGAFORCE!  I know its only out on VHS.  But a "manly" hero played by the same guy who played Brad in "Rocky Horror"?  a bad guy played by Henry Silva!  Directed by the man who brought you "Stroker Ace"? Flying motorcycles!  People kissing their thumbs! (don't ask)  It's like a bad movie lollapalooza!

3. Top Gun- I don't think I should have to explain this one.  If you think I should, then you're obviously missing the point.

I think you should have to explain why you put this on your list, and why you didn't read a few posts back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....and just to hammer the point in:

Ah my bad.  I didn't realize it was done yet but hey, at least it was so now I'll have to get the rifftrack for it.  Anyways why I think it was worthy:  Gay jokes abound, Tom Cruise, and Kenny Loggins music.

You won't be sorry either.  It is one of my personal favorites.

Bill is hilarious.

Great list!    I gotta comment on a few of your selections.

The Haunting- Really good choice.  This movie was terrible.  I had to see it  in the theatre on a date when I was younger and we almost walked out.  Which brings me to another one to add to my list: White Noise.  People did walk out on this movie when I saw it and I regret not doing so myself.  All around terrible movie.

Leonard part 6- Brilliant choice, Bill Cosby rides a god damn ostrich in this movie and the plot (or lack there-of) is ridiculous.

Also I'd like to throw the movie "Doom" in there since it was yet another bad video game movie that shouldn't have been made.  They took one of the most iconic games and bastardized it.  Plus the whole plot line of the disease either turning you into a monster or making you superhuman had nothing to do with what was actually going on in the game.

Yeah I was unaware that it was done.  I'm pretty new to the site but a long time MST3K fan.  When I found out about Rifftrax.com I was over-joyed.

Don't sweat it.  Welcome to the forum, you've got quite a bit of catching up to do.

Thanks for the welcoming and indeed I do have a lot of catching up to do.  Luckily I have a lot of free time on my hands so hopefully it won't take me too long.

Ok...I totally take it out , wish I never even mention riffing  MST3000, but like I said, it's not a new idea.  I hope they never do, but a commentary would be cool.  Boy..it's tough being the new kid on the block.
            Therefore I replace it with:  The Cat from outer space.     And as a back up...The Apple Dumpling Gang.   tee hee.

                                                                                                                                 

[LBeria]

Either The Apple Dumpling Gang or The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again would be cute -- but they were already bad enough on their own.  And not in a good way, either...  Bad enough that they're the types of movies you just can't eat popcorn to...  Now, when I was a kid and taped these (Betamax rules!) off HBO, well, that was another time and another embarrassment I don't want to go into right now. 

[DRDFarScape]

LOL....I didn't see the "Apples's ride again".   There were so many shows I thought were soooo great when I was a kid and when I happen to see them again as a adult...WOW...do they suck.   For example...which is bad enough to say.  ISIS  on saturday mornings.
            How about the "Black Hole"    I did love those floating robots.  I think that would be a great riff movie.

[bigmattyg]

Cat from Outer Space! Sweeeet.  It could double feature with "That Darn Cat", either version!
Speaking of terrible live-action Disney, "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" (with Kurt Russell!  Jack Burton, Noooo!) wouldn't a bad choice, nor would the Lindsay Lohan "Herbie" movie.

[orionpaxxx]

... or any Lindsey Lohan movie for that matter

[Bebopcola2021]

Random list, cause I'm in a random mood. No particular reason, no particular order. Some of these movies are actually quite good or tolerable (not gonna say names!  ), but as Mike and the rest have shown, no movie is safe. 

Snakes on a Plane (sadly, they'll probably never do it, but one can dream...one can dream..)
Corpse Bride
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
Jack Frost  (the 1998 "family" film, although what family would make their child endure such a horror is beyond me)
Clue
Matrix Revolutions (may as well go for the trilogy, man)
Legend (Tom Cruise running around in a gold skirt with lots of glitter...riff city!)
First Daughter
Romeo+Juliet
Red Sonja
Step Up
Bratz
The Polar Bear King (I admit, I loved it when I was a little kid, but the Rifftrax guys doing it now would remind me of those good old Swedish fairytale films that MST did for awhile, like The Day the Earth Froze or the Adventures of Sinbad. Good times.)
You Got Served (Kevin Federline....need I say more)
Although I can't FULLY dork out and say "OMGZ MIKE N THE BOTZ SHOULD DO ANIME" we could seek the next best thing and have them Riff
Akira or Ghost in the Shell (I'm very curious as to what they could do with them  Oh, I can feel a little bit of my inner otaku dying. Ouch.  )

Yeah, I'm done now. It's more than 10, it's really random, but whatever. I'm gonna go do stuff now.
