Never Say Die (1994)
The best worst action film I've ever seen. RiffTrax and Never Say Day should not exist independently. They are meant for each other.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cef9JVFY3Gk
Enjoy

The Dark Knight Rises
Figured this movie was ripe for a riff. The absurdity of the finale,Tom Hardy's choice of making Bane's voice as Sean Connery doing an impression of Winnie the Pooh and how it's impossible to understand him most of the time, and Marion Cortilard's acting when Talia died.
Also, the ridiculousness of the timeline. Oh the bomb will go off in three months. Now two weeks! Now eight hours! Now 45 minutes!

British Public Information shorts
Check out the BFI's collection of public information shorts, viewable free at: http://player.bfi.org.uk/collections/public-information-films/
I'd recommend 'Lonely Water', 'How to use the Telephone' and anything made by and starring Richard Massingham.
Oh yes, and 'Apaches', because kids having farming accidents are so riffable.

Santa in Animal Land (1948)
This short has all of the ingredients: bad puppeteering, corny dialogue and just overall cheesiness (although the puppets are kinda cute). This is more than worthy of a riff!

Always Watching (2015)
I shit you not, this is a real movie on slender man! A TERRIBLE movie on it
A small town news team discovers a box of video tapes where a faceless figure dressed in a dark suit, haunts and torments a family... slowly driving them insane. Soon after, they realize that the "Operator" has begun to stalk them as well.

Downton Abbey
Either the very first episode or the first season Christmas Episode. I think it has great opportunities for juxtaposing low brow humor with high brow etiquette.

the Mission Third Planet series
Distributed by Coronet Films, an alien survey of Earth learns assorted facts about planets and animals with the help of an adorably dorky-looking robot. The ratio of aliens-and-robots frame tale content to actual educational content is unusually high.

Inside Out (The PIXAR Film)
Since you mentioned Pixar films in your VODs and shorts, why not riff an actual Pixar film? (In fact, fans haven't seen any riff on a Disney movie in a long while since High School Musical. Maybe it would be your first animated full-length movie you have ever riffed.)

Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century
Oh, yes, yes. A thousand times yes. At exactly 5 minutes in this movie starts thawing a yeti out of a block of ice... with flamethrowers. It's got dopey dialog, it's goofily acted, has a big derpy unscary monster, kids who I am pretty sure are going to get annoying and troublesome - probably release the monster or feed it after midnight or whatever - and it's Italian. Plus a bonus, according to the credits - The Theme "Yeti", played by "The Yetians".

The Most Important Person
No, I'm not taking about what Kevin Murphy thinks of himself... or is it Bill Corbett? Or maybe Mary Jo? Bridget? Mike?
Oh, well. No, this was a series of animated films back in the Seventies which dealt with issues such as emotions and health, but in a funny and goofy way. A lot better than Churchill Films' Feelings series, because they don't just drop you without an ending.
So why should these shorts be riffed?
(1) Made a whole lot of them than ACI Films did. Seriously, there were several shorts made, and I recall they used them first…

Lord Jim (1965)
A movie so terribly dull and confused that only a hammy, lisping Eli Wallach as an Arab warlord can save it.

RiffTrax, please riff "Sudden Birth" (https://archive.org/details/sudden_birth)
"Sudden Birth" (https://archive.org/details/sudden_birth). Why you ask?
1.) It's a short educational film teaching police officers how to birth a baby. 2.) The film shows a live birth in the back seat of a car. 3.) the best advice the movie gives is to "hold on tight to the baby, they are slippery!" Thanks for considering!
ps- I was at the State theater tonight and it was fantastic! I heart you all

The Pit (1981)
This message board alone illustrates why this film must be riffed: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086113/board/nest/42537897?ref_=tt_bd_1

Event Horizon
Paul Anderson shoots things to look cool, but he has no grasp on how to modulate the visuals to carry the audience into the deepening nightmare of the plot.

Vampire Circus (1972)
Many eagle-eyed Doctor Who fans will notice Lalla Ward (Romana II) stars in this one, and what a strange roller coaster ride this one is!
Though no Bela Lugosi or Robert Patterson (thank god) is in this one, it does have a shape-changing vampire, a circus and a paranoid country which has a town under quarantine, due to a "plague." Not a curse, not by (obviously) vampires, but a plague. Spoiler alert: not dealing with the sharpest of the bunch in this place.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.. the whole thing starts off with a woman cheating on her…

Pinocchio in Outer Space
This 1965 movie is confusing in the most hilarious of ways - whether it's complete disregard for the 'show don't tell' rule of filmmaking, disorienting camera angles or tone changes from super cheery to super depressing out of nowhere. There's also a turtle which looks like a parrot and has the voice of Top Cat, giant crab fights on Mars and a mutant space whale.
It's like an animated parody of old sci-fi B movies. These guys felt it was riff-able http://animatedanarchy.podbean.com/e/episode-09-pinocchio-in-outer-space/ and I agree with them.

RTVF 331
It's a short film I found on YouTube.
It is the absolute most hypnotically awkward thing you'll ever see, it is just begging to be riffed, and most importantly it says reuse allowed so rights won't be an issue.
