1. The Kidnapping of the President (1980)

   William Shatner as a secret service agent dealing with President Hal Holbrook who has been kidnapped by Manuel Noreaga-wannabe Miguel Fernandez. Filmed in Toronto. AFTER the first Star Trek movie. It's like Shatner still didn't realize where his Gravy Train was parked.

3. 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

9. Cockfighter

   The plot begins in medias res with a mute Frank Mansfield (played by Warren Oates) locked inside a trailer preparing his best cock for an upcoming fight. He slices the chicken's beak slightly so that it looks cracked in order to increase the betting against him in the upcoming fight. He bets his trailer, girlfriend, and the remainder of his money with fellow cocker Jack (played by Harry Dean Stanton). Mansfield loses the fight (ironically because of the cracked beak), almost all of his belongings, and is set on a rambling path to win the Cockfighter of the Year award.
   AKA Born to KillThe film struggled to find an audience and Roger Corman said it was the only movie he backed in the 1970s that lost money. He had it recut and reissued under the title Born to Kill but it still did not succeed.[2]

14. UHF

    I think it would be awesome if you could get Weird Al to help riff on his own movie. Tons of 80's cheese and cornball hijinks in that movie.

15. Mil Mascaras vs the Aztec Mummy

    Please, please, please... Mil Mascaras vs the Aztec Mummy. No kidding - it looks like a cross between Samson vs the Vampire Women and The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy. Even just the trailer was one of the worst things I've ever seen. This one gives Birdemic a run for its money!!

17. Computer Beach Party

    1987 film that is mindblowingly bad, and as a result is not only hilarious in unintended ways, but is prime Riff material.

20. Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?

    A 2001 television documentary from Fox suggesting that the Moon Landing was staged. The narrator alone is worth riffing, not to mention the reasoning.
