Let's Face It (1954 Federal Civil Defense Administration Short)
Have you ever questioned the economic validity of building an entire city just to blow it up? Have you ever wanted to test the validity of building an entire city just to blow it up?
The film that gave us the iconic stock footage of houses being blasted to smithereens and made us realize that the atomic bomb was more than just sending Indiana Jones helluva far in a refrigerator. Consider this for what would really happen to Bert the Turtle if he was in the vicinity of this force of radiation.
The three reasons why I suggest this film…

Bad Taste (1987)
It's a film by Peter Jackson. It's about aliens that are kidnapping people to turn into intergalactic hamburger meat, and only the heroes of the film can stop it. Guns, gore, and EXPLODING SHEEP! (Who doesn't want to see that.

Nutcracker (1964)
Take a limp, joyless German teleplay production of the holiday classic, wrap it with a filibuster by pre-Green Acres Eddie Albert, and you have 55 minutes of this. Produced by Hamlet's Hans Gottschalk, which explains the dancers' existential despair.

The Finishing Line
This is a seriously F***ed up British PSA about children playing on railroad tracks. This kid daydreams about holding his own Olympics on a train crossing. Dozens of children get killed. It's both horrifying and surreal.

The American Heart Association's current BLS (Basic Life Saving) video
There are various skits with live actors about someone who becomes unresponsive and needs CPR, only when the actor or actress actually starts doing CPR, the person in need of help is switched out for a mannequin, which is suddenly wearing the person's clothes and and is in the same position the person was just in! This effect was especially creepy for the baby- CPR skit. Our entire class was laughing so hard it hurt!

Jawbreaker
Teen girls accidentally kill their friend on her birthday when they kidnap her and shove a jawbreaker down her throat. There's lot of rubber outfits and some strange sex scenes. You'd love it.

"Match Your Mood"
https://archive.org/details/match_your_mood
This overly groovy ad for Westinghouse refrigerators is public domain and, well, laughably weird. After all, who doesn't want to apply burlap or brick-texture Contact paper to their fridge while dancing around it on New Year's Eve?

H2O Extreme
The basic plot: Young man has to decide between a professional hockey career at the level of the NHL or being the best at show waterskiing, which is most likely something you've never heard of. It all comes down to a big tournament at the heart of waterskiing, Cyprus Garden's (which is now Legoland Florida). We have the awkward best friend sidekick, the cocky superstar wakeboarder, the yelling coach dad, and the love interest who just doesn't know how pretty she is. Did I mention the gold digging girlfriend who is only present in the first quarter of the movie…

- KILTS! SAPPINESS! DR QUINN STYLE MEDICINE!
NB: You may wish to skip the last 2 eps of the first season; however the ones up to the wedding are a campy riffable joy for sure.

Freddy's Nightmares
Though I am a Nightmare on Elm Street fan, I was unaware this show existed until recently. It is set around the same time as the first couple movies, and takes place in Springwood which is where the movies take place. There are episodes that revolve around Freddy Krueger terrorizing citizens in their dreams, but others tell a horror story, where in the end someone gets screwed because they "should have known better." Thing is it's the 80s and it shows. It has bad acting, poor cinematography, insensitivity to women & those who are "different", and best of all it…

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh
Julius Irving is the cornerstone of an all-Pisces NBA team put together by astrologer Stockard Channing. Great 70s vibe, terrible movie, although I loved it as a kid.

Deadly Birthday Party
This may get overlooked, but I'm just going to use one phrase to describe this movie: Deadly Birthday Party is The Room of "horror" movies.

Nintendo 64 promo VHS cassettes
These were promotional VHS tapes released by Nintendo for some of their games on the Nintendo 64 console. They are super cheesy, sometimes painful to watch. They're also a bit short, so I thought they might be fun to riff for use during one of your Rifftrax Live events.

Lost Horizon (1973)
Vastly inferior remake of the 1937 classic, and widely considered to be one of the worst movie musicals ever made. Shangri-la is portrayed less like a utopia and more like a New Age cult with a dash of Mighty Whitey, the actors are obviously phoning in their roles even during the riot in the opening scene, and the musical numbers are dreadfully dull.
For a more in-depth look at the film's awfulness, here's the Musical Hell review:

A Knight's Tale
Heath Ledger, Paul Bettany, awful dialogue, and crowds singing along to Queen? HOW IS THIS NOT A THING YET?

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 :-)

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.
