1) Red Dawn

(Hell, yeah! Made your number one even. I put this in parenthasy because I'd hate to  :deadhorse: )

Lots of good suggestions, and some ones that made me scratch my head, but I have THE ULTIMATE TOP 10 LIST (in no particular order)

10. The DaVinci Code From Tom Hanks wispy mullet, to the ending that Helen Keller could see coming, one of the worst movies I saw last year.

9. Return of the Living Dead 4: Necropolis Straight to video crap, that was tailor-made for to be ripped on. Peter Coyote does his best "Fire Marshall Bill" impression.

8. The Good Shepherd: BOOORRRRIIIINNNNGGGGG

7. Scarface: Face it. Despite it's glowing reviews by gangsta wannabes, this movie is nothing more than big-budget, B-movie crap.

6. King Kong (remake): Peter Jackson somehow convinced  the general population that this movie was good. Warlock? You decide.

5. The Ring: Horses are not scary.

4. Patch Adams: Robin Williams at his best. And, by "best", I mean "unfunniest and annoying."

3. Face/off: Travolta AND Cage. Someone I know once said they saw Nicholas Cage in person, and he was 6'7", hunched, and had long bony hands like claws. I was instantly reminded of the time I saw Tiny Tim at the county fair. I got the distinct feeling he drank human blood to stay alive.

2. Any movie made by Steve Martin in the past five years: You know, the one where he has all the kids, or the one with Queen Latifah, or the Pink Panther one... or.... Steve... what happened?

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey: Just think about it...

Ooh! That made me think of another. Castaway.

But that still falls into the Tom Hanks category. WILLLLLLLLSOOOOON!

I disagree with almost all of bluefalcon's list.

Why return to oz?  I liked that one, (which granted has nothing to do with riffing) but it seems like an odd choice. 
I liked it too, but its just so darn bizarre. And I chose Dawn of the Dead not because its a bad movie, but just because I think it has plenty of riff potential.

yeah return to oz was bizaar.  creepy and bizaar, so of course i loved it, but those skater thingys REALLY need to be riffed lol

Epic length, tv-movie cimematography: I thought I was the only guy who didn't like "Scarface."  I also disliked "Batman Begins" and "Transformers: The Movie," so you can just imagine how popluar I am.  Charlie Sheen is the only other actor I can name that held a single facial expression as long as Christian Bale did.

When is the last time you watched any Stallone or Schrawzenegger movie?

Now, now. Arny makes his "Huauaagh!" face now and then, and it gets sort of contorted in a way that's different from his ususal expression.

5. The Ring: Horses are not scary.

Nor are house flies and hardwood floors with water damage. A lot of what that movies does is present things to you in a way that makes you think they should be scary, so you do, and then after you jump you feel ashamed of yourself for being creeped out because some guy plucked a fly off a TV screen.

bluefalcon74

I may be a bit jaded, I saw 'Alien' in the theater at age five. I personally thought the Ring was devoid of anything scary, and.. errr... things that I should think should be scary....

And, what's with the constant hate for 'Red Dawn'? I love that movie

Rattrap007

I don't think it is hate, just people who love a movie and want to see it riffed.

I like the movie, but it is a little dated now. The Russians our our comrades now. It was a cold war movie. NOw it is kinda funny to think of a huge army of Ruskies being air dropped all over the USA and taking it over and the only people who can take the country back are High School students....
