Yet another list

No particular order

Sneakers - actually a pretty good movie but still ripe with potential. 
12 Monkeys
Alien Resurrection - if an Alien movie is going to be done this should be it
The Big Chill - an okay movie until the ridiculous final act and the sitcom-style wrap-up
Contact - a lot of potential here
Enemy of the State
eXistenZ
Footloose
Pleasantville
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Additionally - Any Minnesota located movie  (Jingle all the Way, Mighty Ducks, Little Big League, etc) - so Mike can riff on his (and my) home state

Okay, it's been over 5 months since my original list, so here's another. I lean towards older films, probably because I am an older guy, lol. I don't care if they are cheesy to begin with or considered classics... as long as they are entertaining.

1. Fantastic Voyage (Raquel Welch and Donald Pleasance)


2. West Side Story (why not a musical?)


3. Ice Station Zebra (submarine movies rock)


4. Andromeda Strain (cool early Crichton)


5. Westworld (where nothing can go worng)


6. Halloween 3 (since it had nothing to do with all the others)


7. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (it's really just a big Simon game)


8. The Shining (JACK!)


9. Billy Jack (so perfect on so many levels)


10. North By Northwest (great Hitchcock)


Honorable Mention: Bullitt (just for the car chase)
"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son"
-Dean Wormer, Animal House R.I.P.

Minnesota

2. West Side Story (why not a musical?)


Damn that is a good candidate, I totally over looked that one

HeartPoundinVeinsCloggin

Does that mean that Mike & co. have to sing all their riffs? Because that could be fun...
"Trumpy, you can do stupid things!"

"When you major in boggy creek studies, you can pretty much write your own ticket."

RVR II


Super Monkey Death Car

Actually...god awful singing for the West Side Story would be pretty funny.

On that note...I want to add another musical thingy to be riffed:

Fame - Season One - Episode One

Fox in the Stars

Conflating some of the series into one entry...

1. Spider-Man 2 (Oooh, I want to see this riffed so bad...  Do what you want with 1 and 3, but please!)
2. X-Men 2 (want this almost as bad---any Marvel Comics tie-in movie would be good, really)
3. Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions.
4. Scanners.  Ohh, it's a classic...
5. Super-Man 3 and/or 4
6. Gone with the Wind (always wanna take GwtW down a notch...)
7. Any of the Rankin-Bass marionation holiday specials, ie Rudolph or Santa Claus Is Coming to Town (Keenan Wynn!  Burgermeister Meisterburger!  Young Mrs. Claus has an acid trip!)
8. 80's flashback cartoon movies, ie Care Bears, My Little Pony, Transformers, He-Man/She-Ra, etc.
9. Another oldschool fan, I'll say Fritz Lang's "Spies."
10. I'd like to see some anime, not so particular what.  Spriggan comes to mind, um, original Vampire Hunter D, oh take your pick...

This is just off the top of my head; Spidey 2 and the other Marvel offal were the main things I wanted to get in...

How bout "The End of Evangelion"? I'd love to see what Mike and crew make out of that one. Any DBZ or Sailor Moon episode would work as well.
Here's my list in no particular order:
Speed 2-This one would be an easy target. Bad acting, cheesy dialogue, stupid story aka perfect rifftrax fodder.
Super Mario Bros.-Self Explanatory.
The Day After Tomorrow-Where your biggest fear is escaped wolves from the local zoo...
Rankin Bass's Return of the King-The old eighties animated version of Tolkien's classic featuring: Orcs that turn into fuzzy animals, a Nazgul Lord
who can't speak proper English and of course "FRODO OF THE NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEE FINGERS!" I used to love this as a kid, but it is an
easy target.
You Got Served-Or any of those over done teenage dance/singing movies.
Happily N'Ever After- A pointless, boring, and cliched all patched into one really bad animated feature. Complete with Freddy Prince Jr.
Any Pokemon movie

That's all I got for now.

Good one!  I'm jealous I didn't think of it first!  :)

In no particular order....

Attack of the 50ft. Woman (the original - it just came out on DVD cheap)
Showgirls
Flashdance
Can't Stop The Music
Konga

Grease  (and/or Two of a Kind, if it's in print)
Carrie (the Brian DePalma one)
The Black Hole

Anything from this set:


(this is out of print already???)

And possibly Nosferatu....the original FW Murnau one, not the Klaus Kinski one (although...)

Looking to the future....Hairspray (the new one with John Travolta - because I think that's going to suck)

The series, I don't know....but the actual movie, Fame....that would be worth seeing.

And, speaking of TV series....I'd suggest the first episode of Enterprise....but who wants to sit through that again?    ;)

Super Monkey Death Car

Are there any Roger Corman movies that Mike/Joel et al haven't done yet?
