The Top 50 Movies You Want Rifftrax to Riff Countdown 2010!

[GregMcduck]

Here's how it works!

You were asked to send me a list of your 25 movies you want to see a Rifftrax for. 24 ballots were received, and the movies were ranked on a point system allowing 25 points for a #1 choice, 24 for a #2, and all the way down to 1 point for #25. The points were added up, and what follows are your selections.

Tiebreakers work like such: If two movies have equal pointage, the movie that appeared on the most lists ranks higher. If those movies appeared on the same amount of lists, I went with whatever ranked highest on the individual list. A movie that was someone's #4 beats another person's #6, for example. And then if they still were tied I just picked.

What we don't want: your entire lists posted, cloggin' up yer thread
What we do want: everything else. Bitch/kick yourself/pontificate as much as you want, because that's the point!

The Top 50 Movies You Want Rifftrax to Riff Countdown 2010 begins now. Let your conversations begin.

Ok I'm an idiot. never crossed my mind of them riffing this.. Stupid stupid stupid me

[Edward J Grug III]

All good choices so far! I don't see the guys actually riffing the animated Transformers movie, but it seems like a likely Rifftrax Presents choice.

[Edward J Grug III]

btw, you've accidentally listed "last year's #50" on each of them instead of changing the number.

49. The Spirit - (2008) - 35 points
(2 of 24 lists. Highest ranking - #3 Edward J Grug III)

This is one of those movies that's just begging for it. Although sometimes I can't tell if it's supposed to be intentionally funny.

Till all are riffed!

I love this movie, but damn would it be epic riffing! I can just imagine all the fun they would have with the rock songs. Maybe Weird Al could guest riff on this and rip apart his own "Dare to be Stupid"*.

*I still think that Michael Bay heard the song 'Dare to be Stupid' and took it as a personal challenge.

Sorry to bring this up. You know that this is out of print, right?  Netflix has it now but you know how that goes sometimes. Unless, there's a re-issue coming up....?

[Johnny Unusual]

Eh, it's still out there, and I imagine it won't be out of print for long.

[mrbasehart]

Damn.  Forgot to add Dungeons & Dragons to my list, which is especially idiotic because I won a signed copy from Mike for that DaPenguin competition.

If that's the criteria, I want my list back.  There's a lot of stuff I would have included then.
