2. Tomes and Talismans

   The Wipers have invaded and destroyed earth as we know it, and the one hope for mankind is... the Dewey Decimal System? Eighth graders everywhere were tricked into learning what a card catalog was while ostensibly viewing a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller (in reality, about 12% gripping thriller and 88% boring conversations like "But if we run out of room in category 801, how can we add any further volumes on literature of western Pakistan?", and "Well, I actually prefer "How to Eat Fried Worms" by Thomas Rockwell, but [sulkily] who listens to Lester around here ..."). And it features "sophisticated computer technology" from 1986. Nuf said.

3. Super Soul Brother

   "Super Soul Brother", also known as "The Six Thousand Dollar Ni.., um, yeah." Oh what about this movie could possibly make it worth watching?

   Oh, how about that it was made by Rene Martinez Jr. who was behind "That Guy From Harlem."

   Still not enough? Well, it stars Wildman Steve! Who? Oh, you poor, poor fools. He's the man who played Harry De Bauld in "TGFH" the full-on, fluctuating voiced crime kind-pin who enlists our titular character's help in recovering his daughter. Now, tell me this isn't a movie worth looking into!

4. Heartbreak Ridge

   Sergeant Highway (Eastwood) is in charge of training a platoon of (you guessed it) screw-ups and misfits. Can he prepare them to be combat-ready Marines? Oh and it isn't about Korea. The battle (of course there is a battle) takes place in Grenada in 1983. Clint Eastwood's "Heartbreak Ridge" (alternate title: "How Mary-Sue Got Her Groove Back") deserves to be riffed. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/heartbreak_ridge/

6. William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juilet (1996)

   This 1996 movie directed by Baz Lhurmann features late 16th century dialogue in a 20th century world. Many of you have been forced to watch this movie in high school English class. Some liked it, others hated it. If you hated it, you might be the best person to riff this movie.

   Leonardo DiCaprio plays Romeo, and Claire Danes plays Juilet, in case anybody needs to know.

11. Aspen Extreme

    This 1993 'skiing' drama is advertised on the DVD cover as Top Gun on the slopes. While the acting is semi-believable, the combination of cliche sports action/love quadrangle/bromance and other sudsy tropes (complete with bro catfight), blatant plot holes, those awful neon, onesie outfits from back in the day, big hair, an "I'm soooo eeeeevil" antagonist, French head instructor/boss, and ridiculous stunt skiing scenes that were mostly filmed in British Columbia, prove it's no Top Gun. However, it's got loads of Rifftrax potential for the 80s Cheese category, despite the belated release date.

20. Winter of The Witch (1969) Short Film (narrated by Burgess Meredith)

    "The life of a witch is disrupted by the arrival of a boy and his mother. The intruders' presence makes her struggle to adjust to the modern world, and to change from bad to good witch. Based on the book "Old Black Witch" by Wende and Harry Devlin. Starring Hermione Gingold, Anna Strasberg, Roger Morgan and Burgess Meredith as the Narrator.

    Thomas Sand Productions
    Director: Gerald Herman
    Witch: Hermione Gingold
    Mother: Anna Strasberg
    Nicky: Roger Morgan
    Narrator: Burgess Meredith"

    This is just weird enough to work I think haha. It's 22 minutes - not bad for a short film plus its narrated by Burgess Meredith aka the Penguin from the 1960's Batman series....and there's a Witch!

    If anyone's interested in watching it first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkDmt8YsZN4

    This seems to me like it would make a perfect addition to the Rifftrax Short's catalog.

    Some more synopsis type information I found on a blog called The Obscurity Factor (I was looking up info on Santa Claus and the Fairy Snow Queen and came across a blog post about it that linked to this short aswell).

    "Little Nicky and his mother (Anna Strasburg) leave the big city for a new home in the country. They buy one that is rumored to be haunted and upon moving in meet the witch that haunts the place (Hermione Gingold). They relegate her to the attic while they try and make the home pleasant. She becomes depressed and one day Nicky tries to cheer her up. He discovers she used to cook for the other witches that lived in the house, so he asks her to cook for them. She makes blueberry pancakes, but not just ordinary blueberry pancakes - these pancakes make people happy. When Nicky's mother tastes them, she decides to open a pancake parlor.

    This film, which was narrated by Burgess Meridith, was recently written up in the NY Times. It has developed the kind of cult following that has made it a legend. It was made by Parent's Magazine and distributed through schools, to be shown at assemblies and when rain kept the children in during recess. It was lost to the sands of time until the internet came along. Hundreds of people were finally vindicated in their memories of this odd little film that none of their friends remembered.

    Here's a link to the New York Times article:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/fashion/a-1969-film-touches-a-generation.html?_r=2&src=tptw&

    The Obscurity Factor: 8 (almost completely forgotten until it was featured in the times)."

    and that's from: http://theobscurityfactor.blogspot.com/2011/05/hermione-gingold-in-winter-of-witch.html

    Pretty cool blog with tons of obscure titles.

    Enjoy
    -AMKR.
