2. Battletruck aka. Warlords of the 21st Century (1982)

   AKA New Zealand's answer to Megaweapon, starring that guy from The Warriors and featuring that other guy from The Quiet Earth. Set in 1994 after the Oil Wars (which we all remember) this is a star-crossed love story between a heavily armored semi truck and the motorcycle that loves him. Or it's a bunch of idiots trying to rip off Mad Max with a terrible 80's soundtrack and a villain named Stryker (yes, I know that's a stretch) who doesn't quite manage to pull off the same nuanced level of performance we've come to expect from Jack Palance, but does make up for it by screaming "aaaaaargh" a lot. (seriously, watch this clip from the end of the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=72&v=j8vxxBYE5n4)

   And if you need more evidence, here's the full trailer.

3. In Search of the Wow Wow Wibble Woggle Wazzie Woodle Woo!

   Tim Noah sings about using his imagination while going on a quest spurred on by the voices in his head... It's as strange as is sounds.

4. The Midnight Hour (1985)

   This is the ultimate bad Halloween film, starring LeVar Burton (post "Roots", Pre "Reading Rainbow"/"Star Trek TNG"), Peter DeLuise, Shar Belafonte and Michelle Pfeiffer...'s sister Deedee.

   ZOMBIES! WEREWOLVES! ROMANCES WITH GHOSTS! WITCHY-VAMPIRE LADIES! DANCING! SINGING! THE DAD FROM "THAT '70'S SHOW"!

   This movie is a hidden gem of classic Halloween fun. So bad but oh-so good!

5. Staying Alive (1983)

   John Travolta dances... as directed by Sylvester Stallone. Seriously.

   It's not surprising that this film currently holds a Tomatometer rating of 0%.

6. "Lucy" by Luc Besson (when it comes out on the small screen)

   We just got out of the theater after seeing Luc Besson's "Lucy."
   We haven't laughed this hard in years.
   Except maybe during the high-speed piggie back ride in "Twilight" to your rendition of the theme song to "Benny Hill."
   I mean. LAUGHED. FOR. HOURS.
   It is an amazing mix of the sublime and the ridiculous. Often within seconds of each other and usually in the same scene.

   You must riff this movie. If you do, we will buy it and keep its preciousness on a jump drive of its own in a box on a shelf. When we are not playing it with the movie (whenever it comes out on the small screen). Which will be often.

   Thank you.

   Your fans,
   Jennifer Gwirtz & John Baumann

7. The Christmas That Almost Wasn't

   Another odd Christmas Tale that would probably make those 'Santa Claus Village of Madness' shorts seem normal.

   Here's the Holiday Spiel, Famille, the Grinch in this 1966, is a guy named Phineas Prune (no kidding, guys). Apparently it seems he's got the deed to Santa's residence in the North Pole (never really explained how this happened, perhaps Santa need to mortgage his house during the bad financial years), and unless the fat guy forks over the dough, Prune will foreclose.

   Strangely enough, Santa gets help from a former child, Sam Whipple, who though his father hated people squeezing toilet paper in stores, is now an attorney, who Santa asks to help him out of this jam.

   Besides odd musical moments, the strange part is the fact Santa having to work to pay off his mortgage to Prune. And they way the series ends, amazingly enough the animated beginning looks like what a child had composed. And the beginning sounds more like 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance," than a Christmas tune.

   Then again, if you guys recall, "The Magic Christmas Tree" was also supposed to be a holiday film...

   Anyway, I love to see this riffed for the fact it's also one of those films which could even make "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" enjoyable.

   "Prune, Prune, the man they called Prune..."

8. GOG (1954)

   A 1950's Big Science film in which plot and drama are suspended in favour of vignettes of tedious science experiments. Sexist male scientists and their fragile female counterparts gratefully hand over all their higher functions to a Swiss AI and its robot servants. These servants, which have more questionable design features than a Dalek, are given the god-mocking names of Gog and Magog. Murders ensure, a perfunctory romance perfuncts, and the climactic battle's best effects are those that convince you actual adults are taking part in this nonsense. Perfect for people who found This Island Earth too taut and Robot Monster too emotionally engaging.

9. Tron: Legacy

   Dumb hot chick with 3 lines, The Dude, an over-reliance on CGI, enough flashing lights to not make up for the lack of plot. What's not to hate?

10. Rocky IV

    Obviously the most politically and culturally relevant of all the 'Rocky' epics. The movie that ended not only the Cold War, but James Brown's career. Dolph Lundgren's performance won him an Oscar for Most Dumbfounded Expression in a Sports Movie. This must be riffed before Putin reforms the empire!

12. I was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957)

    Created by the same people who made "I was a Teenage Werewolf". The only major difference is that annoying Donny Most wannabe imp guy isn't in this.

    This also stars Whit Bissell playing, for all intent and purposes, the same character. He even uses some of the same lines!

    I don't know which is more gross in this film. The dismembered body parts or Whit Bissell having a love interest and kissing same!

    This is pure Riff fodder!!

15. Hansel and Gretel (1954)

    This puppet-animated movie isn't based so much on the Grimm fairy tale as on the opera version by Englebert Humperdinck. (No, not THAT Englebert Humperdinck.) It features the music from the opera, alternating between spoken dialogue and arias in English, adapted from the German libretto. (At least one legitimate opera star, Anna Russell, provided a voice--she plays the witch.)

    The story's altered a little bit, as it was in the original opera. Hansel and Gretel aren't abandoned in the woods through the machinations of a stepmother out to kill them--their otherwise loving mother loses her temper at a kitchen accident and sends them to pick berries in the woods and get out of her hair for a while, where they get lost and fall into the witch's hands. There are some lovely bits with the Sandman, a Dew Fairy, and a chorus of angels.

    Michael Myerberg, the director, animated this with "kinemins"--puppets operated by electricity. The miniature sets are detailed and enchanting...but the puppets themselves look rather weird, without the winsomeness you'd usually find in, say, the Rankin-Bass figures. There are also some head-scratching moments, such as when the household furniture comes alive to dance with Hansel and Gretel.

    It does have some elements to recommend it--the beautiful score from the opera, for one, and Lord knows I'm all about introducing kids to classical music. But it's also got enough whacked-out elements to balance it.

    In short...this has more than enough weirdness and slight creepiness to be eminently riffable. See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1eaCHlCeBU&t=141s

16. Rifftrax Live Christmas 2019 - Fun in Balloon Land & Whizzo

    Live audience interaction is needed for the last part of Fun in Balloon land, so why not double down on the madness and also do Whizzo?

17. Goldilocks and the three bears in 3d

    I had this nightmare of a children's movie as a kid. It is definitely a trip. I think it, along with your guy's humor, would make a great Rifftrax short. Please consider.

18. The Scarapist

    With a scary demented therapist, phrases like "I forgot... Pink Blankie!" and the unexpected appearance of a squirrel, "The Scarapist" has all the makings of a cult film. Riff like you've never Riff-ed before! Don't worry, if people call you crazy, you can blame it on "The Scarapist." That doctor is out of here mind!

19. Enter The Ninja

    A typical Bad Ninja/Cannon movie where the hero wears white (you know, like Ninjas do), but is probably Best known for one of the Best Movie Deaths of All time...

20. The Vulture (1966)

    A mad scientist turns himself into a half-man, half-bird vulture monster to avenge the death of his ancestor.
    If you could turn yourself into a vigilante vulture to right all the wrongs in this world, life would be so simple and fair.
    Dependable Robert Hutton and Broderick Crawford star in this monster mishmash that should provide great material for the Rifftrax team.
