Maid to Order
from wikipedia:
Jessie Montgomery (Ally Sheedy) is a spoiled rich girl in her mid-20s whose hard partying lifestyle and lack of self-respect as well as a lack of respect for others is starting to wear thin on her single father Charles (Tom Skerritt), a wealthy philanthropist, and on her boyfriend Brent (Jason Beghe), who breaks up with her after finally getting frustrated with her immature and self-destructive behavior. When Jessie is arrested for drunk driving and drug possession, she finally pushes Charles beyond his limits. He blames himself, as many years ago his wife died of cancer at a time when Jessie was a small child. Feeling it would help her cope with the death of her mother, Charles seldom laid down the law, often spoiling Jessie. While in the company of family retainer Woodrow (Theodore Wilson), he says the one thing he thought he would never say... he wishes he had never had a daughter. In pops Stella Winston (Beverly D'Angelo), a fairy godmother who has been assigned to the Montgomery family. To keep Jessie from ruining her life, Stella casts a spell "erasing" Jessie's life as it is, as if Charles did never have a daughter. Then she bails Jessie out of jail.When Jessie tries to go home, her father doesn't recognize her and claims that he has no daughter. Stella appears and tells her that she's getting what she deserves. She tells Jessie that if she wants to eat and have a place to sleep, she will have to find employment. A college dropout who has never worked a day in her life, Jessie is forced to find work as a live-in maid for an eccentric couple named Starkey (Valerie Perrine and **** Shawn) who got rich by winning the lottery some years back who are trying to make it in the music industry as talent agents.
Jessie has to interact with the other mansion staff, consisting of former singer-turned-cook Audrey (Merry Clayton), Hispanic servant Maria (Begoña Plaza), and chauffeur Nick (Michael Ontkean), a struggling songwriter. Jessie learns the true meaning of love, friendship, hard work and self-respect. When she chooses the happiness of her new friends over her own, she is rewarded with having her old life returned to her, and being reunited with her father. However, her attitude is now much improved.
This should be on Rifftrax because...
it's one of Dick Shawn's last performances
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times "found it too easy to anticipate most of the big moments and too hard to believe that Sheedy was really a spoiled, mean-spirited rich bitch."

Blue City
Blue City
From Wikipedia:
Returning to the small Florida town where he grew up, Billy Turner learns that his father has been killed. With little help from the police, Billy will take matters into his own hands and go up against a ruthless local mob in a desperate search to find the killer.
The film was considered a disappointment by critics upon release.[14][15]Nelson's performance was particularly criticized, USA Today saying "Is Judd Nelson the smirkiest actor in current movies, or is he simply getting stereotyped playing overbearing creeps? Either way, you spend `Blue City's' 83 interminable minutes begging to deck him." The LA Daily News said "You haven't seen anything quite so ridiculous as a limp-jawed, dewy-eyed Nelson trying to carry off a tough guy part." "Nelson-.008 charisma rating on the Richter scale-is resolutely unconvincing." (L.A. Herald-Examimer). "It's another step in the slow process of revealing, movie by movie, what dull actors some of the celebrated Brat Pack kids are. Judd Nelson would make a great shopping cart, Sheedy a still life of a cornflower gone to wilt." (San Francisco Chronicle) "(The main character has) a passion as rootless as an Everglades air plant. . . . Though his clothes suggest that he and Don Johnson patronize the same boutique, Mr. Nelson has the looks of someone who's come South on a spring break and overshot Fort Lauderdale." (The New York Times) "The worst major studio film we've seen in recent memory." (Santa Monica Outlook) " Blue City is fictionally set in Florida, but was lensed entirely in California, thus managing to shame the citizenry on one coast and the film making industry on the other, all at the same time." (Daily Variety)[13]
Why it should be riffed:
1. Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson actually have chemistry
2. However, you root for the bad guys throughout the movie
3. David Caruso is Ally Sheedy's brother in the film. No, really.Blue City

Paradox Alice
Paradox Alice is a mind-numbingly awful science fiction film from 2012 in which every post-apocalyptic trope meets incredibly terrible, misogynistic gender tropes, including a male character being "biologically" transformed to female (which somehow also gives him nail polish and long hair), and the gender politics of goldfish.
Horrible acting, CG that looks about on-par with 2003 video game cut scenes, and the interior of a spaceship which looks like some random kid's bedroom.
It's such a failure that the film's distributor ended up just putting the whole thing on YouTube and just merely suggests that you might want to rent it on iTunes or whatever, I mean, y'know. If you feel like it.

Badly dubbed 1988 horror movie that's part Nightmare on Elm Street, part Mexican soap opera, and all Grown ******* Riding a Bike Wearing Dinosaur Jammies! This would make a fun and hilarious riff! https://www.echelonclassicfilms.com/dont-panic.html

Arnold's Wrecking Co. (1973)
Arnold is an uptight business major who spends his summer vacation building a multi-million-dollar pot-dealing enterprise, complete with group insurance and a little league team. Unfortunately for Arnold, the idea of "big pot" didn't go over very well back in 1973.
Writing, directing and co-starring trifecta for Steve De Souza, his first professional attempt at all three roles (IMDb). Hard to believe this is the same guy with writing/screenplay credits for several big hits: 48 Hrs (1982), Die Hard (1988), Die Hard 2 (1990) and Beverly Hills Cop III (1994). Less hard to believe: Commando (1985), The Running Man (1987), The Flintstones (1994), Street Fighter (1994) and Judge Dredd (1995).

Reasons to riff:
1. Mamie Van Doren.
2. * Contino
3. Fay Spain (she was in Gunslinger)
4. Maggie Hayes (She was Mother Superior in Girls Town)
5. Jim Mitchum (also in Girls Town)

The Littlest Light on the Christmas Tree (2004)
This animated Christmas movie was the pitiful swan song of Abrams Gentile Entertainment, which was involved with properties ranging from Bucky O'Hare and Visionaries to the Power Glove and Van-Pires. The plot involves the titular light being thrown out by a toy store owner because it was broken and being taken in by a little boy who thinks it has magic powers, which it does because reasons.
Reasons I want to see this riffed:
-The CG. It's not the worst CG, but the characters have odd designs and tend to sway around like they're drunk. And the titular light has a face that you'll be seeing in your nightmares.
-The "villain" of the movie is Mr. Girthmore (GET IT?! HE'S FAT! Don't worry, the movie will make sure you remember by making every other line he says a reference to his weight!), and he is the worst excuse for a villain I've ever seen in a Christmas movie. He wants to make money, expand his business, and mass-produce toys in response to demand. The...*******? Even his throwing out of the titular light because it was broken is presented as an evil deed that he needs to be punished for even though it's what EVERYBODY does with broken lights! The worst thing he does in the movie is hike the price on a toy from 5 cents to 50. Move over, Scrooge.
-The scene where all the decorations on the Christmas tree coming to life, with the working lights kicking the littlest light off the tree, apparently "killing" it, but then a gingerbread man ornament cries over it, causing it to come alive and start glowing and singing. This scene could have easily been removed and nothing of value would be lost.

Any Hallmark Channel Christmas movie
My wife agrees that while she is watching her Hallmark Channel Christmas movies that I should be able to watch the same (unbearable) movie alongside her, but with some ear buds listening to the Rifftrax version of the movie. Sure, I could leave the room, but Rifftrax can keep my marriage (and all husbands of wives who enjoy Hallmark Channel Christmas movies) going strong!

Sleepaway Camp part 2: Unhappy Campers
It's an awesome 80s slasher movie with all the main characters having Brat Pack names! It's one of my personal favorites because it both embodies the slasher genre while adding a woman as the Killer before that was fashionable. On a personal note I would love to know how I could be a part of RiffTrax! I'm a black belt when it comes to heckling the screen, my wealth of pop culture is vast and random, and I also know how to lay on a grenade comedicly. I'm serious when I say I would do just about anything short of murder. However, if you have someone that you need a passive aggressive friendship formed with we're in a lot of their personal items get borrowed and never returned, I AM SO YOUR MAN!!! As always a loyal fan Big Jim willig

Truck Stop Women
I watched this movie on Amazon Prime. It's a super cheesy 70s film about a mother who is pimping out her daughter at a truck stop. The mafia wants in on this lucrative business model (ovviamente) but the ladies fight back. The movie is bad, but just good enough to riff! https://www.amazon.com/Truck-Stop-Women-Claudia-Jennings/dp/B01NAWQFU6
Here's a video of the director talking about it like it is a good movie: https://youtu.be/0DkXUDY6p_4

Blood Beat
Why you need to riff this movie:
1. It has a samurai ghost, which is connected to the mom character for reasons unexplained, making the movie even more nonsensical.
2. 1983 independent horror movie with actors so stilted and wooden, they make HaYden Christensen look like Orson Wells.
3. SAMURAI GHOST.18 votes -
