Bermuda Cockleshells
An RKO short where people take uncontrollable Dinghies out with disproportionate sails. A lot of the contestants seem to be children. Apparently, it's within a crew's right to jettison crewmembers into the water as need-be.

Poor Cinderella
One of the most unique Betty Boop shorts, it's the only time she appeared in color during the Fleischer era. What's interesting is that it's done in these bizarre shades of red and teal, and I think the weirdness of the whole thing makes it very riffable.

Hard Time on Planet Earth
A rotten, limburger cheesy science fiction series that aired on CBS in 1989. The short-lived series starred Martin Kove (!) as "Jesse", an alien exiled to Earth with an orb-shaped robotic parole officer named Control.

2020 Presidential Debates
A live riffing on a debate between the Sleepy Hair Sniffer and the Great American Cheeto.
It would be gold.

TheJoker
Not the pretentious art film, but the B&W daddy of "Shake Hands With Danger", released as a safety short by US Steel. It stars Hans Conreid as the harbinger of injury and compensation. Accidents and camp abound, and it makes you long for a universe where Hans played the Batman nemesis.

Velvet
Made for TV movie from 1984. I was literally reminded of this just now while watching MST3K - Being From Another Planet, because both star Shari Belafonte. Caught Velvet one morning on TBS while skipping class. What is Velvet? Remember Fox Force Five from Pulp Fiction? Well, that's basically what this is.

Equilibrium (2002)
A movie that is a dance performance dystopia with Sean Bean in a non-evil role. Impossible!

CQ
Paris, 1969. A director's obsession with the actress who plays the **** secret agent Dragonfly (Angela Lindvall) has clouded his judgment and the film has no ending. A young American (Jeremy Davies), in Paris to document his life on film with total honesty, is brought in to finish the movie with a bang. This proves to be difficult when the line between his fantasy life and reality becomes blurred, and he too finds himself seduced by the charms of Dragonfly.

Timemaster
From the writer/director of "McBain", starring the writer/director's son in an obvious attempt to win Father of the Year away from Greydon Clark
Also starring: Pat Morita, pro-wrestling personalities, and a pre-fame Michelle Williams (!)
To be honest, I haven't seen it (surprise) so I don't know how riffable it actually is. But given the description, director, and stars I'll go ahead and say it is

Ebenezer is a retelling of A Christmas Carol, set in the old west and starring Jack Palance and Ricky Schroeder.
I did not just make that up.

Battle Beyond The Stars
This Star Wars ripoff is begging for it! Any time you have Robert Vaughan, George Peppard and a spaceship with breasts in the same Corman film, you have riffing magic

Blazing Ninja
Quite possibly the greatest bad Kung Fu movie of all time: hilarious without riffing, but could be one of the all-time greats with the LEGENDARY THREE attached!
Aside from the usual comically bad dubbing this film also contains the following compelling features:
Flashback sequence which is clearly from a completely different film and has nothing to do with the rest of the movie.
Period setting during the Japanese occupation, complete with period cars (sometimes) yet everyone is dressed in 70s fashions (wide collars, poly-blend blazers, etc.) and hairstyles.
The transfer is widescreen-4:3, but centre frame locked rather than pan-and-scan so…

Vampires on Bikini Beach (1988)
Two teenagers find a book called "The Book of the Dead," and soon they discover that a vampire cult, which needs the book to raise the dead so they can take over the world, is after them.
This movie has it all! 80's cheese, vampires, surfing, IT nerds and yes, girls playing backgammon! All of the fun of an 80's era teen vampire drama. Utterly ignoring those pesky details like plot continuity, acting, cinematography, screenwriting, etc. I stumbled on to this movie by accident and thought it immediately riff-worthy.

Devil's Revenge
A movie starring two Star Trek Actors that have no interaction whatsoever even though they are father and daughter. William Shatner and Jeri Ryan. I myself didn't didn't see this movie but this movie begs to be riffed by Rifftrax.
