Gumby shorts
Having religiously watched old Gumby shorts on VHS in my childhood, I recently got the complete 1950s collection of shorts on DVD. And as much as I love Art Clokey's work, man, are they ripe for riffing. The "Robot Rumpus" short that appeared in an MST3K episode is just the tip of the iceberg.
They're a visual feast, but offer lots of space in the dialogue for riffing. And there's plenty of 1950s casual racism and good old-fashioned nightmare fuel to lampoon.
I particularly recommend "The Mocking Monkey," "The Magic Wand," and "In the Dough."26 votes -
Salo - 120 days of sodom
Because it is such a well-renowned and beautifully classic example of international cinematic art,
Because it is SOOO fuckin' objectionable, in-yo-face, grotesque and unapologetic,
and Because, you MST-ies would probably never even consider riffing a Pasolini3 votes -
The Peanut Butter Solution

- Celine Dion's first english performance, because this movie is definitely Canadian: https://goo.gl/Jte2Bc (and yes, his coat is made entirely of one child's hair) Bonus: The plot takes more twists and turns than could possibly be imagined. I've never been able to get through more than half of "Kid goes into haunted house gets so scared he loses his hair his sister acts like…

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 :-)

Harold and Maude (1971)
Cult classic pairs Bud Cort as a dead-pan disillusioned 20-year-old obsessed with suicide and a loveable Ruth Gordon as a fun-loving 80-year-old eccentric. They meet at a funeral, and develop a taboo romantic relationship, in which they explore the tired theme of the meaning of life with a fresh perspective

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…

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.

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 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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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…

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,…

John Travolta and Debra Winger with horrible southern accents! It's worth it for all trailer park scenes alone!

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
A startlingly inept film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever offers overblown, wall-to-wall action without a hint of wit, coherence, style, or originality.

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.

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).
