Damn I forgot Kill Bill.... can I have 11 on my list?  ;D
If there was a transformer that was a hybrid, do you think the other Autobots would make fun of him or be envious?

Species (sexy alien meets guys in bar...)
The Devil's Own (Brad Pitt's Lucky Charms Irish Accent!)
Working Girl (the 80's in all their glory...)
Maid in Manhattan (Shame on Ralph Fiennes!)
Room with a View (Warlock's Julian Sands with Mrs. Tim Burton!)
Field of Dreams (Forget Waterworld...this one started it all!)
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer TV Special
Silence of the Lambs
What Lies Beneath
Elizabeth: The Golden Age

I'd buy any of the below in an instant:

1. The Frighteners - From a forum search I guess my sentiment here is not shared, and that's a shame...I don't think this movie is "bad" either, maybe not especially good, but very riffable.
2.  Hudson Hawk  - see 1, but definitely more awful.
3.  Stargate
4.  Conan the Barbarian
5.  Lethal Weapon 4
6.  Weekend at Bernies
7.  Final Fantasy, The Spirit Within

and the following less specific but still not covered genres:

8.  Any "Dog" movie that isn't Turner and Hooch, there's at least 3 I can name, refrain from Beethoven-style if possible.
9.  Any documovie based on a famous musician, my fav here would be La Bamba, but Walk the Line is ripe too...and already done.
10.  Pick any film with Pierce Brosnan that isn't 007, ANY FILM.

I wonder how available "Great Balls of Fire" is.  I'd imagine not very, but I'd bet they'd do well with it given the chance.

Outland  [1981] -  (Sean Connery space Marshall Vs. Peter Boyle Future-Meth Smuggling Mine Manager)  This is so Riff-Ripe... so so ripe.

Robot Jox  [1990] - If anyone has seen this... then you know what I'm talkin about.

The 13th Warrior [1999] - Antonio Banderas as an arab courtier Vs. wierdo tribal cannibals in Viking lands.  oooooookaaaay.

The Hitcher [1986] - The hero is such a lame-ass that I wound up rooting for the killer (Rutger Hauer) the whole movie.... Actually made it way more fun.

The Phantom [1996] - SLAM EVIL!

The Rocketeer [1991] - So many movies that are sooo ripe for riffing... it's getting harder to pick between em...

The Sword and the Sorcerer [1982] - There's only one movie that's more ripe than this......

The Warrior and the Sorceress [1984] - Starring David Carridine and a chick with 4 boobs????


------------
These selections are all based on the fact that they are the "Most Riffable" movies I can think of.
I'm just gonna stick with 8, because I feel that these 8 are good enough to count for any other 10.
If I saw any ONE of these Riffed, I could die happy.  I really want an Outland or Robot Jox riff.... They BEG for riffing.

-EDIT-

Reading these other posts again- my last 2 would have to be Stargate and Waterworld.
They are both ripe like these.

Thats bad enough, but at first I read "starring David Carridine AS a chick with 4 boobs"

Well, I couldn't quite get my list down to 10, but here are a bunch of movies that deserve to be mocked:

Anaconda
The Mummy
Deep Blue Sea
Face/Off
Blade (1, 2 or 3)
Eraser
Miss Congeniality
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Passenger 57
Demolition Man
Crocodile Dundee
Bad Boys (1 or 2)
The Craft
Anything starring Antonio Banderas

Insert Coin(s) to Continue

The Passion of the Christ should not be riffed. This ranks up there with Schindler's List and Hotel Rwanda.

Tripe

Yes it should, it never will be, but it's a bunch of arse. *

*note that I'm talking about a specific movie here: Gibson's Bible and loopy German nun scribblings adaptation. Mind you I always cheer when Aslan is filleted in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, so perhaps I'm not too reverent about the passion in general.


RoninFox

Agreed that Passion shouldn't be riffed, not because it would be offensive to me, but because I don't see how to make it funny.

gojikranz

just got started and im hoping to see these very soon
1. Dune stings speedo is just to good.  if ya wanna go all out do the extended tv version!
2. godzilla 1998 for those who though japanese godzilla films were bad.
3. Rambo first blood part II or any others but i think this is best suited
4. Tim Burtons planet of the apes actually the original planet could be fun too or better yet beneath.  charlton heston needs to be riffed.
5. Alexander dont know where to start with this one (three different cuts could be tricky for consumers though)
6. id like to see more tv shows heres an oddball choice: Iron Chef USA not the version on tv now but the really bad cancelled after two episodes version with william shatner (it is on dvd).
7. The giant claw really really really really bad
8. another oddball choice for rifftrax on demand take a buncha edison shorts and riff the beginning of film.
9.  superman IV we got all the other main super heroes so oughta follow up
10. MST3k The movie this would be surreal and offer a nice bonus feature for the new dvd!

hope to see these soon!
MICROPHONE MANIAC COMING SOON!!
