The Ten Commandments (1956)
After watching the first 15 minutes of the "classic" Ten Commandments I realized that it is perfect Riffing fodder.

Oh my gosh, yes!!!
-Pretentious and self-righteous tone,
-a cast of thousands hamming it up for Important Subject Matter
-Charlton Heston vs. Yul Brynner!!I’m sure the rights for this are expensive/complicated but I would be very willing to pay extra for a longer “Just the Riffs”.

I went to a Catholic High School and every Easter, when this would air on TV, I use to joke that I fail asleep about half way through the Commandments. So I did not know the last 5. Use to get the best look from the Brothers who try to teach us.
