Wavelength (1983)
This sci fi movie with telepathic child-like aliens (sans clothes) starring Robert Carradine and Cherie Currie entranced me and my brother as kids during its many replays on HBO. I recently rediscovered it and think it would be perfect Rifftrax fodder because:
1: Co-stars Keenan Wynn as an actual grizzled prospector
2: Intersperses extended dialog-free scenes, sometimes in poorly lit places, with dull military discussions in an underground base/lab that looks suspiciously like an industrial plant
3: Soundtrack by Tangerine Dream
4 (bonus): Fun boom mike appearances

deadly blessing
An amusing 80's horror movie where Ernest Borgnine says the word "incubus" about a million times. A plethora of beards, kid whipping and random nudity are scattered about this film like tracts on a street corner. It's like a movie of the week made by Italians involving cultists and horse buggies.

Timestalkers
William Devane, Lauren Hutton, John Ratzenberger, and Klaus Kinski doing the best he can with the improv idea of being the time traveling lovechild of Skynet and Hilter (I think only metaphorically, but who knows what deleted scenes there might be on the cutting room floor). I mean we seriously devote a huge chunk of the movie to talking about, getting to, and talking with a guy about his delusions of the importance of preserving old cowboy songs for their cryptic history lessons. Except in the exact, and extremely unique scenario presented in the movie, when is this going to…

Traveling vacations short
This short from the 50s is about a man who ruins a ladies painting at the beach, then stalks her , accidentally destroys her fathers car and tows them in their travel trailer all over the country. The girl hates him the entire time. It’s done in that “ain’t it neat” 50s style. And it is ripe for destruction.

Mike, please teach us to riff
Would Mike ever consider teaching a class on riffing? I signed up to take one with Joel Hodgson and don't tell Joel but Mike is my favorite writer and host. I know I'm not the only one who would fork out my hard-earned cash for the experience. Thanks for the consideration, and Happy New Year!

Nancy Drew (1995)
Nelvana did a multi-episode syndicated series in the 90s featuring a very Canadian Nancy Drew. This is currently available to watch on Tubi. Jon Cassar directed the syndicated series. Not quite the same as the Batman serials but quite worthy of riffing.

The first Drunken Master movie is a great comedy in its own right but still one for Rifftrax

Spooky House (2002)
Essentially this film is “Cool as Ice” if it mixed its cold medications, fell asleep watching Harry Potter, and dreamt it was a kid’s movie. I just finished watching it and am experiencing that special reality-questioning bewilderment you only get from the finest Rifftrax films. Why does it need to be riffed?
1. Ben Kingsley, (AKA the Great Zamboni), and his removable mustache live with a jaguar in a papier-mâché castle in front of a ****** matte painting. It might actually be a church, (there’s a graveyard), or possibly every Scooby Doo episode made three-dimensional.
2. An inexplicable cellar full…27 votes -
Trancers 3
Trancers 3 is so bad. The set looks so bad and cheesy and the script is so flat but funny at the same time. No flow in the movie. It came out in 1992. Very easy movie to rifftrax.

The Devil's Tomb (2009)
A lot of moderately-famous names (Pearlman and Rollins definitely reach cult icon status) and not a lot of coherent plot. Just modern enough to draw people in for the show, but bad enough to require Rifftrax to save it (they'll come for the modernity and stay for the cheeze).

Kamillions
An absent minded scientist opens a portal in his basement, and then shape-sifting aliens come and wreak havoc on his dinner party. The special effects and “comedy” bits are on par with a Rick Sloane film. Fans of the Half Life video games will probably recognize the main scientist actor, too.
This scene probably tells you everything you need to know about it: https://youtu.be/-TnC_B99Da4

Invisible Child (1999 TV Movie)
"A woman with two children believes she has three and her husband and oldest daughter play along with her to keep her balanced (or as close to balanced that a woman with an invisible child can be). However, when the family hires a new nanny, it is all just too much for her and she starts to blab." IMDb plot summary.

Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things
I'll be getting your app shortly in order to support you and I look forward to future live shows when things are less Covidy.
In regard to Aunt Martha. it's one of the first ***** horror films with the main killer as a transvestite. It's as if John Waters written a horror film but with an even lower budget than usual. There's drugs! There's teenage homicide! There's a nosy pregnant woman who obviously mistook her pregnancy for the menopause! Lastly, there's also half-hearted delivery of the dialogue!
You guys are awesome and it's totally remiss if this film isn't considered.

**** on the Border
I was a PA on this one. Ron Perlman (slumming it), Frank Grillo, and a DP that never left crafty. Filmed in Alabama, set in Arizona. It's as painful to watch as it was to work on.

John Schneider (Bo Duke) made a horror movie. He really shouldn't have.

"Gung Ho" by Steve French
It's an Australian take on "Tom and Jerry", with certain twists on the formula.
- The mouse only goes out because his wife is bickering about cheese.
- It's slapstick with a disabled cat.
- The ending is fairly harmonious with both bonding over a bottle of "*** catnip".
The movie is distributed as part of the Kaboodle series by the Australian Children's Television Foundation. A copy of that segment can be found here:
