Frances Sternhagen as Dr. Lazarus (the Ugly)Rotten Tomatoes Info:
Movie InfoFor Marshal O'Neil (Sean Connery), the Jupiter moon Io is just another dingy mining town on the final frontier.

The Town and the Telephone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7N8vqyO7pc
This one is a little long (26 minutes) and might not work for you, but I would like to see even more short films riffed (another one I just watched that is telephone related that I liked was Dialing Tips - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8M9_tCbW4Y), and YouTube has a wealth of great ones. The above came from Ella's Archives at:

Sleeping Beauty (1987)
Really, really bad musical version of the fairy tale. Banal songs, horrid music score, wooden acting, and totally ridiculous plot points. (Seriously, no one thinks about going outside the kingdom for new clothing for 16 years?!)

Alice In Wonderland (1933)
This black-and-white kiddie movie mashes together Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (as, really, nearly all Alice film versions seem to do, most likely because the Tweedles are simply too cool to leave out). It features some pretty big actors of the day (W. C. Fields, Cary Grant)...and stuffs them into costumes that will haunt your dreams. (In their infinite wisdom, the makers of this cast Cary Grant, the single handsomest man ever to grace Hollywood, as the Mock Turtle, in a costume that COMPLETELY COVERS HIS FACE.) This was such a flop that it put future live-action…

The Rocketeer
Long before they owned Marvel or made "The Incredibles," Disney tried to bring a fairly unknown comic book character to the silver screen with "The Rocketeer."
Set in 1938 Los Angeles, a hot shot pilot named Cliff Secord (I'm not kidding) and his mechanic buddy Peavy (not the stereo system) find a prototype rocket pack. Once they reveal that they have it, they start being chased by FBI, Mobsters, and even Nazis.
Disney tried very hard to make it work but in the end it fell very short of the source material. Watching it reminded me of the old Captain…

Fantasy Mission Force
Jackie Chan's most surreal film, which he only appeared in for about fifteen minutes of total screen time, as a favor to its lead actor for saving his life from the Triads. It's downright bizarre, and should provide you with lots of great material.

The (original) Bad News Bears, because it's America's "Final Sacrifice"
This movie could never be made today. The remake supports this assertion.
It's a good movie that still oozes riffable material.
It depicts cultural norms and values that would shock most people under 4013 votes -
Titan A.E. (2000)
Not a prequel to Will and Jaden Smith's movie. An underrated animated feature with early millennium CGI mixed in before it was overdone.
Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, Bill Pullman, Nathan Lane, John Leguizamo, Janeane Garofalo. Plus a nice soundtrack.
The film that may have killed Fox Animation Studios and Don Bluth's career.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola of Godfather fame. The poetry and drama in each frame of film.
Oh God! The exquisite acting from a FULL cast of exquisite actors. Gary Oldman in the fright wig. Keanu Reeves with his British surfer accent. Winona Ryder who may have been undead before the movie. Anthony Hopkins as a potential sex offender. Cary Elwes, The Princess Bride's Westley, pops up too.
Annual Holiday theme viewings. Halloween... maaaybe Valentine's Day.

The Red Violin (1998)
I had to be dragged to see this in a foreign film theater 'cause a relative wanted to go see it... then lived through hell seeing it again in Foreign Film Class - at a college (though without clones like the film that was made there - later made it into a MST3K show). Therefore, if I have to see it again, it'll be bearable torture.

The Green Hornet (1940 serials)
13 episodes: The 1960s Batman television series was created based on the popularity of a re-release of Columbia's Batman & Robin serial. The success of both led to the production of a Green Hornet series, which was played as a straight action mystery series, "in the tradition of its former presentations", rather than the camp Batman series. It lasted one season
