1. Klimt (2007)

   I am heartbroken over this movie about Gustav Klimt!! I know Rifftrax isn't one for doing art house films, but this one is asking for it! I was writing my first and last movie review about it and thought, oh crap, could Rifftrax avenge this? This ridiculous soap opera/Kubrickian middle school play, a faux art house film might be hilarious if they riffed it! At least it is something different :) The dialogue, characters, and cinematography are so awful that now I realize they could be so funny. It truly is "Manos" masquerading as 2002s "Frida" or 1956s "Lust for life."

   Tom Servo for president 2016!

2. Star Trek The Original Series

   It's the 50th anniversary of the debut of astar Trek so why not do one or two episodes from the original series.
   Shatner's acting alone should give you guys more than enough material to work with.

4. Death Dream 1972/Dead of Night 1974

   This horror film is about a soldier who dies in Vietnam- or not- and how his family deals with him being dead - or not- and he could be a vampire zombie with a real individuation problem- or not
   it's seriously seventies and feels like an expensive home movie that was filmed in constant "movie" darkness- think Attack of the Eye Creatures, without the loveable characters- There really aren't any famous actors except for veteran actor John Marley who was in The Godfather and Hooper- here's the trailer and the IMDB link

6. The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon

   I discovered this TV movie on a Spanish-language channel. It starred an aging Shannen Doherty & the guy from "Stargate SG-1" (& I don't mean Richard Dean Anderson).

8. RTVF 331

   It's a short film I found on YouTube.

   It is the absolute most hypnotically awkward thing you'll ever see, it is just begging to be riffed, and most importantly it says reuse allowed so rights won't be an issue.

11. The Subjects

    Some people agree to a drug trial test. Except they fight over taking the drug.
    That's as far as I could watch. I'm going to step back and leave this one to the professionals.

    • There's like, the like, girl who's all, like, peppy and schtuff.
    • OMG. Magic is ree-uhl?
    • The 'intellectual' debate over what to name the guy eating the banana.
    • Character stereotypes stuffed in a sac of skin and puppeted in front of the camera. You can almost see the strings.

14. SUPERFUZZ

    1) Its from 1980, which you know are just plain great to riff.

    2) It has Ernest Borgnine and another actor who has an accent.

    C) Because "Any movie with waka chi waka is ok by me"

    5) Because it was played on HBO all thru my childhood, so others may be familiar with it like I am, and want to see it on the big screen.

15. Subliminal Seduction (aka The Corporation) TV Movie (1996)

    Before Sharknado 3... before Sharknado 2... hell, even before the concept of Sharknado was once considered as a fight between Jaws and The Tazmanian Devil, Ian Zierling was in this bizarre TV-Movie which was a failed pilot that never really caught on.

    Basically the plot deals with Ian as Darrin Danver (no, seriously), who is (surprise, surprise) NOT a surfer, nor does he deal with sharks... well, okay, perhaps CORPORATE sharks, but they don't fly round in a vortex attacking people (sorry about that Bill and Kevin).

    Instead, in the wake of 90s 'evil mind-controlling corporation' films, this is a story where Darrin and his wife move out to Silicon Valley, where he obtains a new job designing software for this firm. CTC wants him to help develop a game called Radical Rat Trap, a sequel to their upcoming game Amazing Mouse Maze. Unaware that the company plans on using Amazing Mouse Maze to control the minds of others to purchase the sequel... and possibly take over the world (where'd they get this idea from, Pinky and The Brain?).

    Anyway, Darrin's wife and their pot-smoking friend figure this out when they find strange software hidden in the former employee's house, and the fact later, Ian notices some employees offing themselves without rhyme or reason, and then has an affair with the company secretary (man, don't you hate when that happens?). Thought they attempt to foil the plan, it's not without complications, and Ian has to save his wife from committing suicide, while his friend ends up getting his mind burned out.

    This would be a definite one for RiffTrax to riff because for the most part the film doesn't make a lot of sense to it, and Mike would love it for it has things people doing that no one in a normal situation (if you want to call mind-controlling people 'normal'). As I said before, this was a TV Movie which started as a failed pilot to a series, where the friend ends up not dying but acquiring psychic powers as well as Darrin, and he and his wife have to stop him. But I guess the execs thought the whole thing was a bit far-fetched and scrapped the series before it could start.

    So overall, here's why RiffTrax should take a stab at this one:

    1) Ian Zierling - Well, DUH, the man's in those Sharknado flicks, why wouldn't you want to riff this film with him in it?

    2) The eerie coincidences which occur in this film: the fact that his wife happens to deal with psychology and the mind, and discovers something up when one of her subjects turns out to be one of the corporation's mind-control victims. Then the fact the former employee hides the incriminating software in the house Darrin and his wife move into and discover it not just through Amazing Mouse Maze, but an S & M simulation game his wife discovers, while Darrin appears to be more clueless than Darrin Stephens... both of them..

    3) Andrew Stevens - Basically known for several action and drama films, he plays the heavy as much as Robby Benson did in 'City Limits,' which is funny, because you don't see much of him in this flick except to see him wear ominous shades and give out obscure orders for the most part. Seriously, the henchmen here do more activity than the main villain itself.

    Overall this would be a cool film for RiffTrax to do either VOD, or perhaps as a future Kickstarter Live selection as an unofficial Ian Zierling 'prequel' to the Sharknado trilogy.

16. Madhouse

    Vincent Price plays a former actor who may or may not be a killer. Includes a crazy spider lady in his basement just for the hell of it. Its goofiness makes it prime riffing material. But it has enough pauses between dialogue to make riffing easy.

17. Vegetable Soup (1973 - Syndicated TV Show)

    This one I'll have a bit better for you. Now I know RiffTrax doesn't riff TV shows per se, but this one you might love to riff at least one of the episodes for this one made shows from Sid Marty & Krofft look positively normal. In fact if Mike, Bill and Kevin view this first episode I've linked to, they'll probably think 'Fun in Balloonland' is a cake walk compared to this.

    So what is 'Vegetable Soup?' Possibly a show designed by Andy Warhol to compliment his art? You wish.

    Once upon a riff, Kevin lamented that 'Free to Be, You and Me,' was responsible for an aci short.. not sure if it was 'At Your Fingertips: Grass,' or 'Cylinders.' But what 'Free to Be' did inspire was this plan on educating our kids to be tolerant of others of gender, race and cultures. Thus, in the Seventies, PBS and Syndicated series started producing a plethora of shows to do just that.

    However, when you see, Vegetable Soup, you might feel the same way as you did with 'Read On!' Especially since the intro has disturbing animation with them singing the theme song about the world being like a bowl of vegetable soup.

    Basically the show itself is broken up into vignettes: The first one is called 'Outerscope One.' This one hearkens back to the days of the marionette shows, 'Thunderbirds' and 'Stingray,' so no, you haven't lost your mind.

    Essentially the plot goes something like this, some kids decide on constructing a spaceship (or skylab, as they call it), which looks like something the Little Rascals had engineered (then again, I think they could've come up with something better), and they launch themselves up into space with a kettle that spews forth (get this) a solution of baking soda and vinegar (or something to that effect), and can safely pierce the atmosphere without burning up, or worry about asphyxiation for the fact their window is a bicycle tire (wasn't 70s world wonderful). Anyway, as with the Robinson Family, the kids end up getting lost, but travel to worlds where each have some underlying message about accepting others.

    After this segment ends, you'll scream GAH! Mainly because remember the animated singers in the intro? To segue you to the next segment, they show one band member sing about the next segment.

    Usually the following short will deal with kids round the world doing stuff. But one short vignette I remember most was 'Nigel.'

    Who's 'Nigel,' you ask? He's a pet boa constrictor which a little boy owns and has bizarre adventures, such as having him lose Nigel in a library, getting a fellow student to blame Nigel for biting him, and things like that. And, no, Bill, it doesn't have Nigel strangling and eating the kid, though for the most part there were times you'd like to see that.

    But the most bizarre segment of the series happen to be 'Woody the Spoon.' Voiced by the Miss Divine herself, Bette Midler, Woody would appear with his disturbing floating face and dole out a cooking lesson in rhyme upon foods from around the world. Personally, I used to endure the other crap just to see these segments, just for the fact the tune was actually soothing, just to offset the disturbing animation.

    Usually at the end we'd see the face (which was probably the ghost of Cookie Monster's ancestors) gobble up the food, then lick Woody.

    Overall, the reasons I feel RiffTrax should take a stab at an episode of this are as follows:

    (1) Outerscope One: If the stories aren't thinly-disguised, the marionettes are hilarious, as well as some of the plots. And as I aforementioned you really have to suspend disbelief with this one.

    (2) Woody the Spoon: The fact Bette Midler does the voice for this is a bit mind-blowing, since this was done probably before she became famous. Though she does an excellent job with the character, the animation does make this a bit off-putting. But it's fun to see how out-there you can make cooking something like Japanese rice for kids.

    (3) Nigel segments/live segments - Usually nothing special with the other live segments (think the .. and Families series which were previously riffed). But the Nigel segments stand out mainly not due to the antics which occur, yet, the odd fact Nigel's owner's family allows him to actually own a boa constrictor. (Interesting fact: a lot of families hated this segment because kids who did watch this show usually wanted a pet snake as well)

    I've submitted some links here for you to see the show. I recommend only selecting an episode from the series' First Season, since they were more riffable than the Second, which they did tone down on the animation, but did have Outerscope Two have an adventure on Earth, and combined the marionettes with live-action this time. Then had a strange game show called, 'The Big Job.' But the rest sort of lacked the bizarre atmosphere of the First Season.

    With that, I submit to you, Vegetable Soup:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKOPVjpMZ4g (Woody)

19. space station 76

    This is a genuinely bad movie. I feel bad, really bad, for the people who made it... It starts off with some dramatic potential and nice effects. Plus Liv Tyler and Jerry O'Connell. It begins as some sort of satire of 70s space films. Then it all just goes terribly wrong. They filmed a bunch of scenes, threw in some sex, an awful sub-plot about gerbil babies, presumably ran out of money, and glued it all together to make this weird disaster.

20. Steele Justice (1987) - Martin Kove, Sela Ward, Ronny Cox, Soon-Tek Oh

    "You don't recruit John Steele. You unleash him."

    Starring the inimitable Martin Kove as a Vietnam Vet who carries around a pet snake named "Three Step." This film includes fantastic scenes like the time John Steele's girlfriend was shooting her music video, as you do, when the Black Tigers (a.k.a. the bad guys) showed up in their primer-coated sports cars and motorcycles and wreaked havoc on the unassuming business center/set.

    There's also the time John Steele was walking on the beach with his pink sweater draped around his shoulders, awaiting the film's montage. If only the Cobra Kai could've seen him in action.
