AmazingThor

10. Episode 2 (duh)
9. Saw
8. Rocky 4 (the with Dolph!)
7. Steel Magnolias (or an equally weepy chick flick)
6. Final Fantasy Spirits within
5. Punisher (either version, but I'd prefer the new one)
4. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
3. Batman and Robin. It's coming. I know.
2. Something directed by Uwe Boll. I don't care what.
(interesting side discussion. If the Mike and the gang riffed Uwe and then were challenged to a boxing match. Which would stand the best chance of winning. My money is on Kevin. Or maybe Disembaudio.)
1. Independance Day. When I first saw it in theaters I thought, "I wish MST3K would have a go at this."

actually mike looks like he is in pretty good shape, but the thing is like this; to win you have to know how to throw a punch and maybe take and dodge one as well.  without that its all just pointless

Just off the top of my head:

10: Airport
9: Airport 1975
8: Airport 1977
7: The Concord - Airport 1979 (all 4 available in a super cheap 4-pack on DVD!)
6: High School Musical
5: Chronicles Of Narnia
4: My Super Ex Girlfriend
3: Star Trek Generations
2: Pretty In Pink
1: Pilot episode of the 70's TV show, Emergency

Michel Weisnor

I didn't bother including Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.

***Special consideration: Ghost Rider***

10) Titanic (1997)
09) Silver Bullet
08) Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
07) Planet of the Apes (Burton)
06) Godfather 3
05) Fantastic Four (2005)
04) Armageddon
03) Jaws 3D
02) Commando
01) Superman Returns

Hazzah

10. Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Especially w/Kevin Murphy and his semi continuing fascination with Persis Khambhata (sp?)

9. Titanic

Early Leo DeCrapio is still Crap...long, true...but usually with an entire films worth of whiny dialogue bring out the best in Rifftrax crew.

8. Fantastic Four

I always loved the idea and theme of the comic book....but the movie just felt bleh.

7. Cutthroat Island

Pretty much any Renny Harlin flick is perfect, but this one, I believe would be quite fitting (especially around the time Pirates 3 comes out.)

6. John Q.

There's only so much riffing I can do on Denzel's worst movie to date.  I need someone else to take a crack at this godawful preach piece of corn-filled elephant dung.

5. Grease 2

I love Michelle Pfeiffer...but one Grease was bad enough...two...a shame against humanity

4. Godfather III

Sophia Coppola alone is worth the three hour running time.

3. When a Stranger Calls

I begged my wife to not make me buy it...I did anyway... :angry:

2. Alien 3

Fincher's vision was stolen, and it became a heaping pile of junk.

1. Con Air

I just really despise Nic Cages lack of emoting ability, Malkovich's over-the-top delivery, Buscemi's overall wasted screen time (and talent) and John Cusack as a badass (rather than being the intellegent thinker he usually plays)

Hi-Keeba!

Buttered Stuff

10. Waterworld (never seen all of and would only do so if it were Riffed)
9. The Postman (same as above)
8. Ishtar (reportedly the worst movie ever)
7. Sky Captain and the world of Booooooring..uh I mean Tomorrow
6. Spaceman (oddly funny but I think would make for interesting fodder)
5. The Day After Tomorrow/Volcano/Deep Impact or any other garden variety big budget world ending film
4. Absolutely any film made for the Sci-Fi channel staring Dean Cain
3. Toys
2. Barbarella
1. The Brave Little Toaster (possible biopic of Disembaudio's early childhood?)

:-*

Toby Danger

In no particular order:

10: Shark Attack 3: Megalodon.
Seriously bad, yet utterly hilarious to watch. Plastic sharks, bad dubbing, John Barrowman screaming, and the infamous "Eat your pussy" line.  This would be a glorious throwback to the old MST3K days.

9: Goldeneye
My favourite Bond film, but the fact that it stars Nightcrawler, Boromir, Hagrid and Mitchell cannot be ignored.

8: Flying Virus
So, so bad, it makes Snakes on a Plane look positively reasonable. The plotholes are bigger than Rutger Hauer's corpulant gut. (such as the IT geek who convieniently knows how to hack into a missile's targeting system on his old laptop.)

7: The Rock
Cheesy as hell, but fun to watch, especially to see Nic Cage get outacted by Connery at every turn.

6: Enter the Dragon
I'm amazed there hasn't been a riffed 70's Kung-fu movie already, (and Master Ninja doesn't count) and this would fit the bill perfectly.

5: Species
I don't care that Ghandi's in it, or that Natasha Hentridge gets her boobs out. This film sucks on toast, but not as much as...

4: Species 2
With twice the slimy sex, and twice the annoying side characters.

3: Independance Day
Otherwise known as 'The day everyone on Earth turned into a giant cliche.
Seriously, there's just so many easy targets in his film. Mike and co would have a field day.

2: The Gnome Mobile
Probably the most insane Disney film ever. Two words: Gnome Pimp.

1: Replicant
Jean Claude Van Damme does an acting tour-de-force, playing a greasy arsonist, and child-like man cloned from said arsonist who learns karate by watching TV.




ChainsawCathy

10. Interview With the Vampire

Crazy as a S*House Rat Tom Cruise and weird, homoerotic vampires.

9. Punch Drunk Love

Billy Madison has a heart (and a harmonium)

8. TransAmerica

So many dick jokes... so little time

7. Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Wooden acting paired with real life wooden human beings

6. Fight Club

It may seem I have it out for Brad Pitt but I don't-

5.V for Vendetta

Witty British quips

4. Watership Down

Bug out rabbit movie with Art Garfunkle singing "Bright Eyes"

3. Capote

Weird, fey New Yorker coupled with Kansas locals and murders

2. The Graduate

I can hear it all now, "You're trying to ____ me, Mrs. Robinson." Just fill in the blank with any verb.

1. Logan's Run

Sci-fi cheesy with Michael York at his finest

Jerkwad

10- Escape from New York
9 - Delta Force
8 - Death Wish 3
7-  Cyborg
6-  American Ninja
5-  Action Jackson
4- The Last Dragon
3- They Live
2- Samurai cop
1- Commando

My Top Ten Countdown:

10) The Cell -- The only good scene in this movie is where the horse gets all screwed up. The movie was supposed to scare me, and instead it was just stupid. I want to see this sucker ripped!

9) You Got Served -- I can think of no good reason NOT to make fun of this movie.

8 The Day After Tomorrow -- because if you pollute the earth, New York will flood, then freeze, and you'll be attacked by wolves.

7) Don't actually know the name of this one off hand. If anybody thinks they know what I'm talking about, tell me. The plot involves a farmer with a shotgun, aliens, and the undead. Somehow rain makes them undead too. There's a hilarious scene where the farmer gets attacked by a zombie fish. It's weird. Oh well, I dunno.

6) Tomb Raider 2 -- Hey look! I'm Angelina Jolie, and I just punched a shark in the nose while underwater!  If you open Pandora's box, we're all screwed.Cool! Let's open it!

5) Catwoman -- "I'll have a White Russian, hold the Kahlua and Vodka", and let's not forget the annoying Soul Sister music.

4) Mortal Kombat 2 -- Because it makes Mortal Kombat 1 look good. Here's an idea, let's put a 2 second cameo of every Mortal Kombat character ever made. "You have failed me Rain, now you die!" "But...but they just introduced my character two seconds ago!" "Too bad!" Most memorial quote? "It's my animality!" -Nightwolf

3) Charlies Angels 2 -- I laughed the last time I watched this drunk. Cameron Diaz would make a horrible spy because her mouth's too big.

2) Flash Gorden (1980s Version) -- Bad acting, Queen music whenever Gordon does the least thing from stretching to going to the bathroom, and...is that Timothy Dalton? "Flash! Flash I love you, but we only have 14 hours to save the earth!"

1) Fantasy Mission Force -- A little obscure Jackie Chan movie that is ripe with unintentional comedy, horrible voice acting (for the English translation), poor transitions, a plot that makes almost no sense, happy sounding music in death scenes, and character names like "Greased Lightning." I always wanted this to be MST3Kd, but it never happened. It's not "too" obscure to get a copy of the film either. I got mine at Best Buy. By far the most hilarious cheese movie ever, IMO, and I've seen classics like "Big Trouble in Little China" Even if this movie never gets riffed, it's a movie that everyone should see, because it's just that bad. Even Jackie Chan's embarrassed by it.

Oh, and as a bonus, there's a trailer to "Mission to Mars" that I always found hilarious. The trailer's hard to find though. I found it on an old DVD of "Gone in Sixty Seconds," if you're lucky enough to have it. I tried to find it on YouTube but no luck.

I agree with most of yours...although I never wasted my time on You Got Served, Mortal Kombat, Mission Force, or Flash Gordon...but the others...make me barf in my mouth a little bit each time I think of them.

Damn it, why'd I have saurkraut for dinner?  It tastes horrible the second thru 45th time!
Hi-Keeba!

Well, I'd hardly call Fantasy Mission Force a waste of time if you lived in the camp I live in. The "So bad it's good" camp.
I LURVE Fantasy Mission Force because it sucks, and I feel it's paradoxically not a waste of time to watch a movie that bad because it's educational and funny. Or something like that.

Where am I?

I think it'd be cool if Mike/Kevin would do "Gymkata" since it was a major part of MST... ;D

I just don't think Snakes On A Plane takes itself seriously enough to be a good target. I mean, we brought fistfuls of rubber snakes when we saw it opening night, for crying out loud.
