2. Dawn of The dead (2004)

   ...Or any modern Zombie movie, really. This one in particular has no story, it's like the porno of Zombie horror flicks. And you guys don't have enough of the modern Zombie movies :-)

4. Give My Regards To Broad Street

   So, after the fiasco that was 1967's Magical Mystery Tour, Paul McCartney must have learned his lesson about trying to make films with little input or help from anyone else, right?

   We WISH.

   About twenty years after his first try, not-yet-Sir Paul made this vanity project that was presented as "a day in the life of Paul McCartney". The plot of this movie, such as it is, involves the master tapes of Paul's latest album going missing--tapes he'd entrusted to an ex-con he'd hired. If those tapes aren't found by midnight, A Big Evil Corporation will take over the recording studio. (I'm not sure HOW that works legally, but there you go.)

   So Paul and his associates (which include his wife Linda and Ringo Starr) respond to this by...making videos and doing rehearsals. That's most of what happens in this thing...one video after another, with the movie only occasionally remembering to return to the plot. Paul seemed to intend this as a latter-day "Hard Day's Night," but it had none of the wit or genuineness that made AHDN so memorable and good.

   There are some saving graces to the movie. The new arrangements of some of the old Beatle classics are good--especially "Eleanor Rigby" with an expanded instrumental section. The accompanying "Eleanor's Dream" sequence is beautifully filmed. That same sequence has some unexpectedly poignant moments--a shot of Linda McCartney's ghost riding horseback in the clouds (Harsher in Hindsight if you remember Paul's last words to Linda) and a sequence where Paul sees his friend Harry stabbed to death in front of a beautiful old building (what other friend of Paul's got murdered in the shadow of a grand building?). And there's a scene where Paul visits an elderly man named Jim for help--Paul's beloved father Jim McCartney had died shortly before the movie was filmed.

   The biggest saving grace, of course, is the song "No More Lonely Nights," a radio hit and the most successful thing to come out of the movie.

   But none of these touches can save a movie made by a man who really didn't know much about scriptwriting. As a vanity project, it might not QUITE be "The Room" with Paul McCartney songs, but it's excellent riffing material.

5. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

   Oh man, where to begin? From the ridiculous amount of wardrobe choices Maid Marion has (including some very bright and cheery execution-wear), to the godawful castle guards, to the propensity of the characters to laugh every five seconds like they're high on medieval mushrooms...

   The thing is, I love this movie. But man oh man, is it riffable.

6. Magical Mystery Tour

   The first critically panned and commercially unsuccessful film the Beatles made, this made-for-TV film is so sixties you get a contact high just WATCHING it. Paul came up with the idea as a project to help keep the band going after the death of their manager Brian Epstein. The lads pretty much made up the "script" as they went along and filmed whatever happened to take place as they tooled around in a blue-and-yellow bus. It's since been re-evaluated for its somewhat proto-Python comedy, and the music is definitely a plus (the soundtrack album was the only successful part of the whole venture), but a LOT of mileage could be gotten out of it.

7. The Murder of Sgt. Macklin

   from the back of the VHS box: "Harry Furgeson is an entrepreneur. That means he'll do almost anything that has a buck in it. Almost anything, that is, except go back into his newly acquired building that appears to be haunted. When he meets Drifter Mike Broderick, Harry thinks his problems are solved, but they are just beginning."

   The movie is watchable, surprisingly, without a riff, if you can look past the non-existent production values.

   I really do think it would be perfect for a B-movie riff.

8. Yellow Submarine

   Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles and this movie, which is quite charming and witty. But think of the field day you could have with the surreal, trippy animation and EXTREME sixties-ness of this movie!

9. Night of the Sharks

   Two words. Treat Williams. Treat yourself to this tantalizing Floridian adventure. It is ripe with horrible acting, ridiculous mustaches, and did I say Treat Williams? Also, sharks and voodoo. Tons of great happenings, but so poorly written....and is also an Italian film? Seriously, this film must be on your radar!!!

11. Killing Cars

    This movie can't not be riffed on. I personally think it's more MST quality than rifftrax quality, but I'm old school.

12. God's Not Dead and God's Not Dead 2

    OK, I know that the trailer just dropped for the second one, but given its themes of "Christians are the only good people in America," "Atheists, Muslims, and those who belong to other religions are evil," "The government is going to censor what your pastor says in sermons unless you vote for a candidate who calls himself a Christian" and "glossy horse manure." Not only do the movies hurt the Christian community with oversimplifications, fear-mongering, and outright lies, they're also really, really bad and unintentionally funny. Also, the second one is being released on April Fool's Day and starts Melissa Joan Hart who was famous for playing "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." With these movies, if irony were salad, there would be a lot of salad.

13. The Blind Side

    The movie that made white people feel good about not hating black people with plenty of fried chicken, grape drank, and watermelon all across America! That's right! Except for our Supporting character hero of Michael Oher all black people are shown as gang bangers. The white people may be snooty, but a simple "Shame on you" is enough to keep them in line. Sandra Bullock wins an Oscar in a movie that was nominated for Best Picture and made a bajillion dollars for reasons I'll never understand. The story of football sensation Michael Oher is told the best way possible, through a rich white family. On the cutting room floor is a shot of he holding a goldfish named "Hope" that dies somewhere in the second act. The screenplay has events happen that are probably supposed to be chronological (although some can't really be) but keep one's hopes up for an Inception-like plot rearranging.

16. Justin Bieber's Believe

    A documentary that supposedly chronicles the 2012-2013 tour but stays so relentlessly on message, it offers no insights and few anecdotes about the real Justin Bieber.

    Also, this came out the same year Justin Bieber said that thing about Anne Frank and some other stuff.

17. Tentacles (1977)

    You could check out the movie at:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076809/

    Cast includes: Henry Fonda, John Huston, Shelley Winters, and Bo Hopkins

    I'd also note that my cable system has recently started carrying a channel called "Comet". It's main draw seems to be that it shows reruns of StarGate SG-1, but it also shows a lot of cheesy old movies (such as Tentacles).

20. Bedazzled (1967)

    After hearing about the new Kickstarter MST3K Reunion, I was inspired upon bringing up this gem to be riffed, and no, I'm not talking about the awful remake with Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser... but the original classic with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook.. who put a rather unique spin on the 'Faust' formula.

    Or the whole 'sell-your-soul-to-the-devil' shtick.

    In this case, we meet Stanley Moon who is in love with Margaret. Problem is, Margaret won't give Stanley the time of day (wow, talk about obliviously cold fishes), which prompts Stanley to end it all.

    (Apparently in the Sixties, that was the big thing to do when rejected by the one you love, I blame that short with Tom & Jerry, but I digress).

    Anyway, just before he does a mysterious man called George Spiggott (SPIGGOTT? Seriously? Not Damien, Lucifer, or even the tried and true, Satan, or possibly a sinister name, but George Spiggott?. oh well). As indicated, George claims he's actually the Devil and will help Stanley obtain the affections of Margaret by exchanging his soul for seven wishes to do so.

    Stanley seems rather skeptical of George, because if George is the Devil, he ponders on why George can't simply make Margaret love Stanley outright.

    As George sighs, he admits there are limitations to his powers, and despite all his wickedness and cunning, he cannot make anyone actually love someone, since it's technically God's domain.

    Then when Stanley inquires why George is being so generous, let alone wants Stanley's soul in the first place. Apparently, when George was cast out of Heaven, he had made a bet with God that he could procure approximately 10,000 souls before HIm, and if George wins, God has to let him back into Heaven.

    So reluctantly Stanley agrees by following George to his office (which turns out to be an apartment behind a club, run by the hilarious personas of the Seven Deadly Sins, Raquel Welch plays Lorna Lust, the one with the Bust in this flick, BTW) and finalize the deal.

    One hilarious moment is when they are signing the standard contract, Stanley asks George shouldn't he sign his name in blood, whereas George says, 'Ah, traditionalist, aren't you? Actually, mate, I really don't do that anymore, but if you insist.' Ironically, they don't use Stanley's blood, but instead one of the Sins, Sloth, who is in reality is George's lawyer.

    At first, due to the unbelievable nature of his situation, Stanley doesn't believe George is the Devil or that he actually has seven wishes. So George claims he'll give a 'free demonstration' by granting Stanley a trial wish.

    Now you'd think Stanley would wish for something grand, but thanks to George's off-putting attitude, the man ends up wishing for a Popsicle (Ice Lolly, England, and all that rot.). Though Stanley teleports George to a local store to get the desired item, strangely enough, George ends up having to pay for it. Whereas George claims he's the Devil, not Rockefeller. (Apparently, there's not much pay in being the Prince of Darkness)

    Reluctantly convinced, George accepts George's offer, with hilarious results: basically whenever a wish is granted, if Stanley wants out, he just has to blow a raspberry and he'll be teleported back to George.

    And boy, do those wishes wind up going wrong in the most unexpected ways. First off, Stanley decides that Margaret would be impressed if he was more intellectual, but ends up almost getting arrested for sexual harassment. Another has Stanley being a rock star, only to get shot down by George in the form of another singer, who sings the movie's theme song with humorous lyrics.

    During all of this, Stanley starts realizing the old adage of 'being careful what you wish for,' not to mention what happens when you 'make a deal with the Devil,' as he notices how George ropes him into not only wasting his wishes, but devilishly throwing monkey-wrenches into them.

    To make matters worse, George tricks Stanley into wishing he is a nun (not certain how that works, but hey, who am I to judge?). Then discover unlike the other past wishes he has made, he cannot escape it, due to a stipulation when he uses up his last wish, he is stuck with whatever he has chosen. Confused, Stanley thought he still had one, but remember when George generously 'gave' Stanley that 'trial wish.' Turns out he didn't. So Stanley seems to be hopelessly stuck until George has a change of heart and gives him back the contract.

    Why would the Devil do this, you ask? Well, apparently God also presented George with another caveat (condition): before obtaining that last soul, George has to perform a good deed. But rather than spoil the ending for you (I'm not George, I'm a Paranormal Time Lord Wolf-Being, after all), I'll just say things don't quite work out as planned.

    So rather than dole out seven wishes for RiffTrax, I'll give you three reasons why this should be riffed, or possibly taken into consideration for their Kickstarter Project:

    (1) Next to Crazy People, it was one of Dudley Moore's better films: in this one, Dudley plays the hapless Stanley Moon rather well, considering he just sold his soul to the Devil for seven wishes. And the fact, whereas most people would be freaking out, he simply takes things in stride, and ponders over why the Devil is so evil, despite that he has made a deal with George in the first place.

    (2) Peter Cook is exceptionally well as the Devil. Truthfully, what makes the movie hilarious is the fact Cook's character doesn't implement the typical hellfire, deep voice or even pitchfork. He comes off more like a demonic version of Uncle Arthur. And it's funny how he justifies his evil deeds to Stanley, not to mention is current situation and how he got cast out of Heaven in the first place.

    One funny moment is when Stanley is helping him visit an old woman, to con her by claiming they are from the Pruney Eye Wash company, and if she has eight bottle caps and can answer a question she'll win a cash prize. Of course, she can't but George cleverly tells her if she goes out and buys eight bottles of the Eye Wash, he'll accept them and give her the prize anyway.

    Naturally as the old woman leaves, Stanley comments how terrible George is, as he watches the Devil calmly rob the woman of her cash, and shares her berries with cream with Stanley. As George comments, 'Me? Why that old biddy just went out to scam the Pruney Eye Wash Company out of 50 Pounds, you call that fair?'

    Another good zinger is when George tells Stanley about a tale of a guy trapped between two tigers in a pit. Stanley laments, 'How ridiculous, nobody would get into such a situation!' George: 'Stanley, you're right, you're much clever than that man, you'd never get trapped between two tigers in a pit, says the man who just sold his soul to the Devil.' (Of course, might be paraphrasing a bit, but you get the idea.)

    (3) The hilarious theme song sung by Peter Cook. When Stanley becomes a rock star to gain Margaret's admiration and affection on a famous television show, Cook appears as a rival to sing 'Bedazzled' but what makes it outrageous is the deadpan way he delivers the lyrics when the background singers sing their part. My favorite classic response is after they sing, 'You drive me wild, you drive me wild,' he responds with the deadpan remark, 'You fill me with inertia.'

    Overall, this would definitely be a great film for the RiffTrax crew to take a stab at, since this one does take a classic genre and gives it a a refreshing spin, and though there are no bloodfests, gore and burning bodies, it is disturbing to see both Dudley and Peter dressed as nuns.

    Here's the clip of Peter singing the theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXnoWb88Jr4

    And here's the trailer for the film as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8tA1wH3cck
