Hey, Babe! (aka Babe!, Rise and Shine)
12-year-old Yasmine Bleeth plays an orphan desperate to attend performing arts school. A washed-up Vaudeville actor, played by Buddy Hackett, forms an act with her to revive his career and help fulfill her dream.
80s Canadian art cheese. New York through the eyes of Montreal. The seedy Punky Brewster musical we never knew existed.

Possession: Until Death Do You Part (1987)
Quite possibly the single worst slasher film ever made (it even has a grammatical error right there in its title), Possession is a cornucopia of riffable delights. Made in Canada for approximately $2.50, this film has everything: truly excruciating acting, artless Psycho ripoffs, inexplicable male strippers, & a rowboat that, when shot at, EXPLODES. Not on DVD, because who the hell would buy it except me, but easily downloaded right here: http://rarelust.com/possession-1987/

Backcountry
Between the bad accents, bad makeup and bad boyfriends, you don't have to get lost in the woods to find Backcountry, a genuine "root-for-the-creature" feature. When a film's celebrity power is Haven's Eric Balfour, you know you can trust when they say, "based on a true story" (which means the writers guessed this could probably have happened to someone... somewhere). The pretentious cinematography in this "suspense" film had my friends and I falling asleep until we remembered our riff training. From the annoying characters to their self-inflicted plight, Backcountry is nowhere near deserving of such accolades as featured in their…

The Lineup (1958)
Incredibly standard boring Fifties police movie. A narcotics smuggling plot with very little tension in it. Stars characters you only care about if you've seen the show it's based off of. Unless if "explaining" counts as "character". Detectives stand around questioning and explaining in equal measure. The pacing drags like a B-Movie.
The film only picks up when the charming Eli Wallach arrives into the movie as gangster Dancer, by the time audiences were already crying out, "On, Dancer!".
An hour-and-a-half TV episode, but Polizeiruf 110 this ain't.
Needs minds far wittier than mine to riff on this thing.

The Spirit
This is an old 1980's TV movie starring the one and only Sam "Flash Gordon" Jones as Denny Colt, AKA, The Spirit. It's cheesy and it's funny. And it's not too bad. It also features Star Trek: DS9 star, Nana Visitor as a love interest. Who also starred with Jones in Ted 2.

Electra Love 2000
Makes The Room look like Oscar bait.
A scene-stealing soundtrack that has a singer who tries to make sense of the plot...and fails.
Spontaneously becomes a musical?

"The Nasty Rabbit" starring Arch Hall,Jr.
It's in color, It's supposed to be funny but isn't. The characters are unbelievably awful. Its got Arch Hall, Sr. and Jr. and a white rabbit that remarks on events around it.. I'd like to see what you guys do with this one.

The Adventures of Superpup
After George Reeves' death, the producers filmed a pilot on the set of the iconic TV series. Viewers' favorite characters were all there, played by hand puppets and little people in ridiculous animal costumes.

The New Jersey Turnpike by Periscope Films (1950s Newsreel)
The New Jersey Turnpike is an old 1950s newsreel by Periscope Films discussing everything about the New Jersey Turnpike. It talks about the benefits of driving on highways as oppose to regular streets, and it shows off all its amenities and public service assistance. It's a chance to see the New Jersey Turnpike in a simpler time, when there literally was no traffic jams, dreams of an easy safe drive before road raging, and Tony Soprano has yet to grace us with his opening theme song.

Beyond the Law
I just saw you guys riff Stone Cold with Brian Bosworth.
Hysterical!I'd like to suggest you guys give the same treatment to the 1992 Charlie Sheen movie, Beyond the Law.
Police officer Daniel Saxon (Charlie Sheen) goes undercover in an effort to topple a motorcycle gang whose members deal in illegal weapons and drugs. To prove himself to the gang's leader, a thug called "Blood" (Michael Madsen), Saxon engages in a series of dangerous acts. Though he takes solace in his burgeoning romance with Renee (Linda Fiorentino), a photographer chronicling the gang's lifestyle, Saxon finds the line between police…16 votes -
Alice in Murderland (2010)
I have no idea why no one has mentioned this gem. It's about a group of sorority girls who are throwing a Alice in Wonderland themed party for their friend Alice's 21st bday. They decide to host the party in the house where Alice's mother was murdered exactly 20 years before. Spoiler alert: between the deaths and other random events, the party is actually pretty boring. Logic is unheard of in this movie. But the murderer does wear a hilarious Jabberwocky head, so that's nice.

Courier of Death
Ok, this little known movie is a gem of schlock, a diamond in the rough. A porn director's first attempt at "mainstream" cinema. Read the comment on this movie for a colorful history.

Jaws of Satan
I have to stop listening to other people because I almost lived a life with no JAWS OF SATAN in it. A cursory scan of other folk’s reactions to the film had me wrongly assuming it was just another bad movie. You know the drill, “Some movies are so bad they’re good, not this one! This one is so bad, it’s just bad.” First of all, I’ll be the judge of that and second of all, wrong. JAWS OF SATAN is not just another bad movie; it is a perfect amalgamation of everything that makes movies not good. I also…

The Maid (2014)
Jack is your typical run-of-the-mill angst-filled seventeen year old. Expect he's not, because he's played by a man pushing thirty who attempts to hide his receding hairline with a backwards baseball cap. Maria is your typical French maid. Except she's not, because she's played by a woman whose only significant cross-cultural experiences extend to grabbing some dim sum at the local Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles. Maria, a beautiful woman, starts up a relationship with Jack because apparently her ideal companion is an egotistical, snarky, asshole "teenager" with no immediate life goals or qualifications.
On top of it all, we're…16 votes
