Off the top of my head the movies I'd like to see riffed are:

5. Mazes and Monsters

Isn't that a Jack Chick Tract?


Last year, I read the original novel by Rona Jaffe. You're not far off.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

- Conan O'Brien

p.s. Thank you for not flaming me for my outrageously awful pun.  :)

Let he (or she) without outrageously bad puns cast the first stone. :^)

Hulk Hogan's Suburban Commando anyone?

Anything the Hulkster's ever put his oddly orange-skinned hands into is instant riff-fodder (with the possible exceptions of his cameos in Muppets in Space and Gremlins 2.  Wow, this guy could have made his career just threatening puppets)

He kinda did though...  Just large roided up puppets.

Some of 'em yeah, but Piper weren't no puppet.

Very true.

I'd love to see a WWE PPV riff. 

Heck, get the Sklar Bros in on it.  Tag team riffing.  Cheap Seats Crew vs. Rifftrax Riffraff.

"Oooh yeah brother!"

1. Dune - I've wanted this one since MST3K
2. Krull - Gotta agree with the others on this - classic WTF?
3. Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift
4. Can you do ANY Disney films without getting your heinies sued off? If so proceed on ANY of them.
5. Especially Tron
6. A Walk to Remember (my daughter made me watch this and it is truly loathsome)
7. More LOTR, Harry Potter, or Indy
8. The Odyssey (that AWFUL one with Armand Assante - jeez, what a stinkburger. Especially the Aeolus from Brooklyn)
9. Spartacus - all-time testosterone classic, but might be too good to riff...
10. Speaking of Kirk Douglas...The Vikings - DEFINITELY not too good to riff....

After consideration and consultation, I am altering my top ten list. I just watched National Treasure. My brain... it hurts...

My top ten:
Hellboy (Oh, crap. Forgot the damn plot...)
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (The league ish asshembled. Yesh.)
Virtuosity (He's a composite of over a thousand serial killers. But still has no personality.)
National Treasure (Ben Franklin kept his best stash in a secret corncob pipe.)
Super Mario Bros. (If this movie makes less than fifty dollars, it'll bomb! Too late.)
Alone in the Dark (Don't leave this one alone... in the dark. My bro and I riffed this movie once. It's fun as hell!)
Titan A.E. (You can't defeat the Drej, they're pure energy! And yet, we're all feeling drained.)
Jurassic Park 3 ("Did you hear that? Run, it's a dinosaur! We're safe. Did you hear that? Run, there's a dinosaur! We're safe. Did you hear that?" Honestly, it's practically a drinking game.)
The Scorpion King ("*sings*... LIKE A ROCK!")
The Mummy/The Mummy Returns (It is a Brendan Fraser movie. 'Nuff said.)

Other suggestions:
Beastmaster (Maalox? Did he say his name was Maalox?"
Taxi (Q. How can a movie filled with supermodels go so wrong? A. Queen Latifah.)
I, Robot (I, nautious)
Escape from LA (Escape from success)
Baby Geniuses (Shoulda let the freakin babies write it)
Donnie Darko (Donnie Dorko)
Solaris (In space, no one can hear this movie. I wanna go!)
Dawn of the Dead, remake (Why are the zombies all on crack?)

I'm sure I can think of more. Let me turn the TV on.

Tomb Raider (Like Indiana Jones, but more jiggly)
The Wild Wild West (Barry Sonnenfeld's version. Giant steam-powered walking spiders? Check, please)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Too painful... soapy pre-teen drama... why doesn't the evil wizard KILL them already?!?)

I gotta stop now. I think I'm having an anuerism.

Oooohhhhh...Beastmaster. I forgot about THAT one! HAhahahahaha...what a turd. By all means that one should be done!

My current top eleven.  All available on DVD currently.  I tried to think of some titles I didn't see requested all the time.

Howling II - Your Sister Is A Werewolf - Starring Christopher Lee, Sybil Danning and that guy who played the chunk head in Space Mutiny!

Can't Stop The Music - starring Bruce Jenner, The Village People and that up and coming talent, Steve Gutenberg!  Remember how bad The Star Wars Holiday Special was?  Just replace all the wookies with Village People and all the music with, uh, songs by the Village People.

Face/Off - Nicholas Cage and John Travolta in Freaky Friday 2: This Time It's Personal

Cobra - only Sly Stallone at the height of his popularity could make a movie this stupid

Ghost Rider - Nicholas Cage with a flaming skull, Sam Elliot and his moustache, Peter Fonda picking up a paycheck

The Man With The Golden Gun - I'd love to see any classic James Bond movies done but this is one of my favorites.  You've got Roger Moore, Christopher Lee and HervĂ© Villechaize, what's not to love?

Star Wars Episode IV:  A New Hope - we all know it by heart and love it to pieces but that doesn't mean it isn't extremely riffable

Star Trek II The Wrath of Khaaaaan! - I know, everybody's sick of Star Trek riffs.  But I don't see how this one wouldn't be great.

and these three are very unlikely but I thought I'd throw them out there (all available from Netflix at least)

Two Lane Blacktop - a cult classic counter culture drag racing movie starring James Taylor and Dennis Wilson.  Amazingly slow and pointless for a movie about fast cars.  Plus you get to hear long haired James Taylor dropping f-bombs.

Frankenstein Unbound - a Roger Corman directed feature from 1990 with Raul Julia as Dr. Frankenstein, Bridget Fonda as Mary Shelley, Michael Hutchence from INXS as Lord Shelley,  oh and John Hurt as the scientist from the future with the sexy talking car.  No, I did not make that last part up.

And lastly...

Any two episodes of T.J Hooker!  If you're a fan of William Shatner, this show features the most Shat allowed by law.  And from Season Two on you also get a young Heather Locklear.  An episode I'd recommend is 'Hooker's War' from Season One.  Guest stars Vic Tayback (Mel from 'Alice') and Sid Haig!

About Hostel...how do you riff Hostel?

I mean. Pure violence and gore being riffable? Sure, 300 was riffable, but would you riff say, a snuff film? I just don't know how they'd do it, you know?
