1. Nine Lives

   Nine Lives is perfect for riffing. Kevin Spacey is a talking cat. A parachute magically appears on a freefalling business exec. The cat gets drunk, and nearly tased. Need I say more?

2. Brain Damage (1988)

   Watched the trailer to this Frank Henenlotter, the schlock director of Frankenhooker and Basket Case (1982), (which though I haven't seen any of these films would make for a great (horrible?) trilogy of RiffTrax nightmares.

4. Dark Floors

   Saw this movie on HBO now.

   It's a 2008 horror movie about a group of people who become trapped in a hospital and terrorized by ghosts. It has:

   Bad acting
   Hilariously bad dialogue
   Decent production values
   Takes itself extremely seriously

   One look at the "ghosts" is honestly enough to qualify it for a rifftrax. They look like star trek extras. But beyond the cheesy effects it also tries to cram literally every horror trope in existence into one movie, it feels like it was made entirely by a focus group and then outsourced to China.

   I had sign up here just to mention it because I think it's one of the most riff-able movies I have ever seen. I mean just the title alone is a gold mine.

5. Terminator: Genisys

   Please do Terminator: Genisys, because:
   1. The plot makes no sense whatsoever, even for a reboot.
   2. 4 Terminators are in the movie, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and an asian T-1000.
   3. They spelled Genesis wrong! (Also, plot twist that was spoiled in the trailer)

7. Monster's Crash the Pajama Party

   This film is in the vein of Hillbillies in a Haunted House. High in camp, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. The plot involves decide to spend the night in a haunted house, but it's the headquarters of a mad scientist, a werewolf, and a gorilla. It was originally a "spookshow" where actors in costume would rampage through the theater!

8. Too Tough to Care (1964)

   From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_Tough_to_Care

   Too Tough to Care is an 18-minute educational film produced in 1964 to undermine teenage resistance to anti-smoking education.

   Farley, an advertising copy writer for the fictional Finster Cigarette Company, is dismayed by the medical establishment's successful campaign to link smoking with lung cancer. It dawns on Farley that one effective way to counter this campaign would be to promote the concept of being "too tough to care" about the hazards of smoking. So he launches an advertising campaign, complete with a compelling jingle, showing men such as dynamite workers and gas workers lighting up Finster cigarettes in situations that would be dangerous, suggesting that they are too tough to care about consequences.

9. The Bermuda Depths

   • Leigh McCloskey, who played the evil Dr. Zach Kelton on "Santa Barbara," is the hero in this flick.
   • Mr. McCloskey is assisted by Carl "Apollo Creed" Weathers and Burl "Sam the Snowman" Ives.
   • The movie has a giant turtle who may remind viewers of Gamera.

10. The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)

    I'm surprised this was never riffed nor suggested. This is not only a GREAT movie, but also has absolutely cheesy production values. (Gort's foam panty-line gets me every time).
    Please NEVER do a riff for the remake of this movie! It's just horrible, but not funny..haha
    You could even use this pic, and super-impose your faces in there ;)

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 400 Days (2015 - SyFy)

    There are three things you must learn NEVER to do when it comes to watching new films: (1) NEVER follow the crowd; (2) NEVER take the suggestions from friends who dare call it 'new and different'; and (3) NEVER take viewing recommendations from Amazon or Facebook on new and unusual features.

    Regrettably this Fangarian failed to heed the third one and was pulled in hook, line, and 1000-ton-weight sinker on this oddity engineered by the same network who dared bring you ALL the Sharknado films (with one and two riffed live by the crew--shameless plug).

    Yes, SyFy decided to cash in on the isolation genre, but somewhere along the way, either the producers received a stroke, or ran out of the budget and change it into a bizarre apocalyptic film with an abrupt ending that would make the short 'Feelings: I'm Feeling Alone,' appear quite normal.

    But I digress.. you came to read about this film, and folks, I'm gonna give it to you straight...

    As with most SyFy flicks, '400 Days' does boast a great cast, but as with 'Manos,' has really no idea where they're going with it. As Amazon describes it as the Moon Meets the Divide... but from this Paranormal Time Lord's perspective.. it's more like two great Twilight Zone plots that had a horrible, inexplicable train wreck...

    Basically, '400 Days' means what it says: at some point within the Earth's Future.. four astronauts are selected for a top secret project. What is it you might ask? Why simple enough: they have to remain within a simulator for 400 Days as a means to see if they can survive an intergalactic trip to some destination, just in case... well, you know.. the Earth should somehow blow up.. the Daleks come and invade... or Mike, Kevin and Bill snap and transmit the director's cut of 'Manos: Hands of Fate' instead of the Super Bowl.

    Y'know.. end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine, stuff.

    So naturally, we get to see the simulation ship at hand, complete with an inset TARDIS-like console with touch controls. Space Suits that look like motorcycle uniforms, complete with helmets. And our lucky crew who have to endure the fun for 400 Days.

    Naturally, the film goes from there where we see the crew go through their paces day-by-day... sort of like the Shining...

    [Crew Director] Well, there goes our crew, sealed off until 400 Days later.. hope they survive better than the last ones.

    [Assistant] Uh, sir, did it ever occur to you that it was doing this that made them go insane and kill one another.

    [CD] Tell you what, after 400 Days, if we come back and find them all dead, I'll buy you a Coke Zero.

    (Of course, not actual script dialogue, but better than what we hear for the most part.)

    Anyway, as the movie does show promise into letting us see all the crew members slip slowly into bizarre madness... the director suddenly decides this is become mundane and throws us a curve ball by having an unexpected tremor hit the simulation near the end of the time allotment.

    While most are freaking out, Dane Cook keeps swearing it's all part of the simulation. Until the crew notices all forms of communication are now suddenly down and that everything seems quiet. Too quiet.. oh, unless you count the strange, naked creature that invades the simulation, prompting everyone to exit the craft.

    Eventually they do in their spacesuits to find a dark, dusty Earth.. no apes, no cannibals, no zombies, not even Charleton Heston to scream at them, 'SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!' So Brandon Routh can shrug his shoulders and say, 'So what's to know?'

    After wasting about several minutes of the film of them walking about in this dustbowl, the group finds themselves first at an abandon house, then an old-time town (good god, they still have those?) where they meet some friendly people (friendly, by the Addams sense) and that's when all sanity has flown out the window...

    So why should the RiffTrax Crew endure '400 Days?'

    (1) All Star Cast: Brandon Routh, Ben Feldman and Dane Cook (yes, that Dane Cook), and that Cavanaugh guy from Ed and the Flash as the insane one.. with this roster, how could anything go wrong? Look what the celebrity cast did for Sharknado... except where Sharknado is more of a comedy... 400 Days allegedly passes itself off as a serious, insightful film.. you know, like the Bermuda Triangle did...

    (2) Attempting figuring out what the director intended, not to mention a few inexplicable plot holes along the way. Case in point, when two of the astronauts decide to go out to make repairs on the 'hull' breach, they go out in their 'spacesuits.' Never taking them off for any reason. But when they all later go out exploring their surroundings, Dane Cook simply takes off his helmet, breathing easily, making you wonder why didn't the others simply do the same thing? Especially if they're technically still on Earth.

    And as Dane Cook keeps insisting they are still within the simulation, you sort of wonder if he's right, since the director keeps using night vision lenses periodically as if the group is being monitored by our friend, Terry from Man V. Monster, possibly searching for another mythical beast.

    After awhile you'll think 'Fun in Balloonland' had a more comprehensible plot than this... which leads into the third point.

    (3) For once, nobody has a clue to what caused this Earth's apocalyptic disaster. Truthfully, the directors never give any indication to what genuinely occurred to plunge the planet into a permanent, gusty, sandstorm realm. Atomic fallout, the Moon crashing into the planet, alien invasion, Daleks, Apes flinging their poo, the Sun going out.. nobody seems to know or care. Though there is a lot of allusions to cannibalism and the fact two of the astronauts suddenly vanish with no rhyme or reason to what fate had become of them. As well as an inexplicable love scene, because what goes better than being pursued by blood-thirsty survivors than to astronauts talking about their relationship, while being hold up in their house.

    Now for the bonus ending: Rather than spoil it for you, the ending is the most anticlimactic thing that SyFy could ever come up with, which reminded me of a series called 'In/Out' where they had a bunch of kids run a high school for two weeks like a country, but even that ending didn't make you want to whisper like Bill, 'seriously, what the hell was that?'

    Overall, this one is so bad, I'd elect this for a future RiffTrax Live Project, definitely for another Crappening, if possible or a VOD.

    Here's the Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh5W-XRr0_0

16. Alien Intruder

    Billy Dee Williams recruits Rex Manning from Empire Records, a "computer whiz" that looks like Anthony Edwards, and a beefcake with a mullet, who were all sentenced to life in prison, to accompany him into deep space to salvage a spaceship that is spinning out of control. On the way there they encounter Tracy Scoggins, who plays a sexy computer virus.

19. Star Maidens

    There was an Anglo-German production in the 1970s called Star Maidens, there were 13 roughly 30 minute episodes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Maidens, it even had people in it who were famous at the time or went on to become more famous. The premise was that there was a rogue planet called Medusa ruled by women and two men escape to Earth seeking sanctuary, and such is the plot. But it's amazingly camp, there is lot's of running about with almost dance steps in, there are German actors who could probably speak decent English but seem to be forced into the German of comic book German POW guards, for you alien ze escape is over! It's worthy of the efforts of a really good Rifftrax, it's got all the right elements of being cheesy, famous actors, sci-fi, camp as a bag of yellow frogs, and from the golden age of crappy sci-fi YV the 1970s, also being Anglo-German what more could you ask for.

20. The Refreshing Look

    A gem from the 50's in color. Coke vending machines! Boring guys in suits explain how they are designed and made and guys who look like service station attendant sell them. This needs a riffing 18 minutes long.
