13. The Incredible Hulk - (2008) - 71 points

I dearly love this movie! I think it's everything you could expect from a live action Hulk movie, great action, excellent CGI, good acting, great villain (seriously, Blonsky is the best character in this movie! He's awesome!), and as smart as it needs to be. It is not only great for what it is, but a major accomplishment for what it isn't, a mindless Bay-ized idiot-fest that it could have been after Marvel got burned so bad trying to make the last one too smart for it's own good, failing miserably.
It would make a wonderful Rifftrax, though. Just like Iron Man and The Dark Knight.

Great Minds think alike.  I liked The Incredible Hulk more then Iron Man.  It's one of my top ten super hero movies.

Nice to see some love for The Incredible Hulk. I just watched it again for the first time since I saw it in the theater, and it holds up quite well. And, yeah, Blonsky stole the movie. The characterization was perfect and I love the gradual transformation from douche to slightly unhinged to giant monster. (Plus a sneak peek at how Captain America might move.) I just wish he looked a tad more like the comics, but I understand why they didn't go that way.

Made me sad that The Abomination can't change back like Hulk can, so we won't get Blonsky back, even if there is an Incredible Hulk 2 (they are thinking about doing one after The Avengers).
Because they changed a little up in Iron Man, I was really hoping that at the end Hulk would just reach out, grab General Ross by the head in one hand, and pop his head like a zit.

29. The Giant Claw - (1957) - 52 points
(3 of 24 lists. Highest ranking - #3 gojikranz)

Is this movie public domain?

Based on the wikipedia page, it's owned by Columbia pictures (EDIT: Double-checked elsewhere.  Yep:)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giant_Claw

I also like this section:

Shortcomings
The Giant Claw has gone down in history as one of the worst movies ever made, mainly because of its terrible special effects. The bird in particular is considered one of history's worst movie monsters, being an unconvincing marionette puppet with a very odd face. The film is riddled with stock footage, making continuity a serious issue.

Morrow later confessed in an interview that no one in the film knew what the titular monster looked like until the film's premiere. Morrow himself first saw the film in his hometown, and hearing the audience laugh every time the monster appeared on screen, he left the theater early, embarrassed that anyone there might recognize him.

showgirls would be an interesting and likely uncomfortable riff.

sadly i think the giant claw is owned by columbia.  but the dvd is easy to find its in the sam katzman box(ya i own the giant claw...).


maybe just maybe we will see that movie rvr keeps mentioning in the list.

It would be funny, but I think Showgirls is one they will never riff, at least as an official Rifftrax.

Frankly, after they did The Room, nothing is off limits. NOTHING!

Top ten begins now!

I think it would be funny if Bridgett and Mike and Kevin or Bill were riffing this, as they could milk Mike uncomfortableness watching this with his wife.

She is a former CIA operative and, accompanied by gee-whiz gadgetry and a few eccentric characters (including a mercenary, a researcher with a talking gorilla, and a a nutty Indiana-Jones-type looking for King Solomon's Mines), sets out to rescue her former fiancé. What they all discover is that often what we most want turns out to be the source of our downfall."

7. Billy Jack - (1971) - 86 points
(5 of 24 lists. Highest ranking - #1 Monty)

Directed by T. C. Frank (Tom Laughlin)
Starring Tom Laughlin, Delores Taylor and Clark Howat

Place on 09's list: #21
Place on 08's list: #19
Last year's #7: House of the Dead - (2003)

Synopsis:

"Billy Jack is a half-Indian/half-white ex-Green Beret who is being drawn more and more toward his Indian side. He hates violence, but can't get away from it in the white man's world. Pitting the good guys, the students of the peace-loving free-arts school in the desert vs. the conservative bad guys in the near-by town, the movie plays definitive late-60s themes/messages: anti-establishment, make love not war, the senseless slaughter of God's creatures, the rape of society (figuratively and literally), two-sided justice, racial segregation and prejudices, and basic socialist ideals."
