I'd lend my support to Clash of the Titans as well, plus Target has it for $7.99 at the moment.

Oh and House would be a good one as well.

Lets give this list a go

10. Tron
9. Total Recall.... Who cant laugh at the Governator!
8. Chronicles of Riddick ... who didnt enjoy the XXX riff?
7. Jurassic Park .. Its a classic
6. Indiana Jones(Any) Ditto
5. Armageddon
4. Postman
3. Sum of all Fears
2. Jaws
1. War of the Worlds 


SwordKing

10. Tron
The first movie to attempt to cash in on video games.

09. Godzilla's Revenge
How they missed this one during MST3K I'll never know.

08. Theatre of Blood
Shakespeare for slasher fans.

07. The Dark Crystal
The most expensive puppet show in the history of cinema.

06. Masters of the Universe
Any resemblence to the classic cartoon is purely coincidental.

05. Barbarella
Sci-fi for hippies starring that blonde airhead commie JaneFonda.

04. The Black Cauldron
As someone who read the original books, I DEMAND Mike Nelson put this piece of Disney garbage in its' place.

03. Godzilla: Final Wars
Godzilla fights just about every other kaiju in the series, including GINO (Godzilla In Name Only).

02. One Million Years B.C.
Cavemen fighting stop motion dinosaurs and Raquel Welch in an animal skin bikini fighting another girl in an animal skin bikini.

01. Transformers(1986)
See the topic I started about this.

Sining Sluts and TB can't get better then that!

3) Super Mario Brothers
Do the dinosaur!

3) Resident Evil Apocalypse
Raccoon City infested with the T-virus

The commentary alone on this dvd is good i think it needs a RiffTrax

My last list was mostly really old and obscure movies.   I'll try to come up with a new list that has more recent or accessible movies.

1)  Barbed Wire   (it stars Pamela Anderson, that should be enough)

2) Baywatch : the Movie (see above)

3) Total Recall (multi-boobed aliens and guys exploding from decompression....plenty to work with here)

4) Dusk til Dawn (easily the worst vampire movie I have ever seen; if only because it was 2 and a half hours of Tarentino playing the role of a retard, and about 7 minutes of Mexican vampire whores at the end)

5) Stephen King's IT (a bit long to riff, but it's impossible to take Tim Curry seriously as a child-eating alien disguised as a clown.

6) E.T.  (go with the new THX remastered guns-are-now-walkie-talkies version and you've got at least ONE guaranteed easy riff)

7) Silence of the Lambs (great movie, but I think there's a lot of riffing potential for a cannibal and a transvestite antagonist)

8) Braveheart (also a pretty good movie, but after 300, there comes a point where all these bare-chested angry yelling Scots fighting for freedom movies just become one big blur)

9) From Hell  (oh noes! Jack the Ripper is back and....SPOILER ALERT....he's a FREEMASON!)

10) The Ninth Gate (Johnny Depp is a book collector who wants to find directions to Hell....what part of this sounded like a good idea?)

Let's start with some of the films made for the kiddies:

1. Digimon: The Movie
Boy, was this "English dub" horrible as hell. Lots of bad cheese-covered jokes that would make a Tim Hill movie look good. And........... Smashmouth's "All-Star" at the end of the movie?! BARF!

2. Underdog (live-action Disney version)
Watched this in theaters last week. Underdog, or "Shoeshine", is voiced by Earl and Simon Bar Sinister is played by a midget.

3. Inspector Gadget (live-action Disney version)
Before "Disney's Underdog", there was "Disney's Inspector Gadget". A lot of things that didn't tie in with the original cartoon series, like the fact that Dr. Claw was fully visible, and doesn't run an organization called M.A.D.

4. Pokemon: The First Movie
You know, I actually enjoyed this film back when it first released on VHS like hundreds of years ago, and during the time I really wanted this film to be riffed by the MST3K trio. I think the movie is a good choice, considering that these film crew idiots played this song during the movie's climax. Sigh.....

5. Baby Geniuses
As shown in Rotten Tomatoes "Worst of the Worst"

6. Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2
Also as shown in Rotten Tomatoes "Worst of the Worst"

7. Home on the Range
What was said to be Disney's "last 2D film" turned out to be like one toy farm playset with Rosanne Barr and several pop-culture references thrown in. And what's the big deal with that "Showcow" quote anyways?

8. Any of the Spy Kids films

9. Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl

10. Garfield 2: A Tail of Two Kitties

Um, wow.  I'd rather buy porno in the presence of my grandmother than buy any of those movies.  I think the shame of offering money for any of those movies in a public place would be impossible to live with.

In order to make the truley perfect top ten list, one must take into consideration several factors. First, is the movie widely spread enough on DVD that one could easily acquire a copy? Concordently, since there are some insane people who actually buy the horrible movies just for the riff track (not that I've ever met someone like that, nope, never...), is it a cheap buy and/or constantly repeated on HBO? Also, is it a comedy- sure, there have been bad comedies, but mocking a comedy is going off the rails and crashing into pointlessville. Finally, does it have the riffing comming to it? Some things are so innept and horrible, that they are in truth reaching out, intentionally begging the high father to smite them gloriously. In keeping with my Rush Limbaughesque humility, I present my perfect, unquestionably infallible list of purity and excellence:

10. Batman and Robin (how this hasn't been riffed yet, I have no idea- it is widely considered the very definition of anguish)
9. Cobra (I can think of no other movie that perfectly exemplifies a bad action movie- big star, pointless script, horrifying one-liners, and Brigette Neilson)
8. Die Hard 2: Die Harder (Sit rep, we need a sit rep!)
7. Underworld (CGI so mind-blowing, that you'll swear someone accidentally recorded part of an episode of Beast Wars over the fight scenes)
6. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze (looking back on this film I held dear as a child, I now have no idea why my parents never shoved me into a bag and dumped me into a river)
5. Judge Dredd (LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!!!!)
4. Godzilla (1998) (an American movie that fails to be as fun as even the worst of the Japanese Godzilla movies- truely something special)
3. Catwoman (worse than Batman and Robin. No joke, I'd watch Batman and Robin before sitting down to Catwoman. On the other hand, I'd sooner punch a nun stupid than watch Batman and Robin intentionally)
2. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (a video game movie that managed to be worse than having your genitals tied in knots- well, moreso than other video game movies, anyhow)
1. Any of the Blade movies (preferably not Trinity- yeah, it's a horrible movie, but I have pitty on Mike n' the guys. I got heart.)
