White Commanche
William Shatner, on hiatus from Star Trek, plays two roles. A sadistic half-white Commanche leader and his straight arrow 'white' brother. It also stars Joseph Cotten as the local sheriff. Shatner goes shirtless throughout and of course chews up the scenery. . Filmed in Spain on an ultra-low bufget, it would be perfect for Rifftrax

Ratchet & Clank
"When the galaxy comes under the threat of a nefarious space captain, a mechanic and his newfound robot ally join an elite squad of combatants to save the universe."
Man, even if it pays THAT CLOSE to the source material of the PlayStation franchise, it still has a measly 29 on Metacritic. At least the fans are happy. But, think it could get a visit from the riffers to "help" our beloved Lombax and his robot pal.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Oh man, where to begin? From the ridiculous amount of wardrobe choices Maid Marion has (including some very bright and cheery execution-wear), to the godawful castle guards, to the propensity of the characters to laugh every five seconds like they're high on medieval mushrooms...
The thing is, I love this movie. But man oh man, is it riffable.

Yellow Submarine
Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles and this movie, which is quite charming and witty. But think of the field day you could have with the surreal, trippy animation and EXTREME sixties-ness of this movie!

Christmas in Wonderland
Description from the So Bad It's Horrible page at TVTropes:
"Christmas in Wonderland is a 2007 Christmas movie with an All-Star Cast, apparently zero script, and exists solely to piss off the entire population of Edmonton and Canada in its sight. Its main selling point is that 90% of it was shot in West Edmonton Mall (formerly the world's largest) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada... yet when it's not being a 100-minute commercial for West Edmonton Mall, it's trying to justify its plot by relying on the seminal characters being ten times as moronic as families in average family Christmas films. To make a list of all its inconsistencies would be writing a list as long as the script itself — for example, the opening credits are supposed to be in Los Angeles, yet it's obviously shot in Strathcoma in Edmonton. The two boys apparently hate Canada, yet they have strong Canadian accents. Furthermore, the mall itself is made to look like a magical palace on the exterior, with puke-worthy results. That's only the beginning. The film's an insult to Edmonton and Canada, and the one cinema in the mall that showed it in 2007 dropped it after a week because it's so bad. And boy, Patrick Swayze looked horrible; this is not a film you'd want to remember him by. The fact that in this movie, there is no snow anywhere in Edmonton at Christmas sums up how little they cared. "Description from the So Bad It's Horrible page at TVTropes:

Dracula 2000 Trilogy (Dracula 2000; Dracula II: Ascension; Dracula III: Legacy)
- Dracula starts as Gerard Butler and ends up as Rutger Hauer.
- That one vampire who has a giant mouth for a face. Spoiler alert -apparently, you kill this type of vampire by shoving a plastic bottle of holy water into said mouth/face.
- Serious lack of continuity between the first movie and its direct-to-video sequels. Van Helsing's daughter is supposed to be Dracula's new keeper. Her sole job is to prevent Dracula from being unleashed on the world again. But that same night, his body falls into the hands of med students, who of course proceed to reanimate him. Oops. Bonus reasons: Vampire hunting priest played by Jason Scott Lee, with Jason London as his sidekick. Vampire clowns. Confusing subplots. Dracula's compulsion to count things, and his love of rock music videos. I could go on. I'm actually rather fond of these movies:)

West World
A B-movie crap fest where our leading man is hunted by killer robot Yul Brynner. We are treated to a star who's facial expression reflects not his own terror or excitement, but the confusion felt by the audience.

Aliens Vs. Avatars
3 QUICK REASONS TO RIFF:
- The fact that this shares the name(s) of two popular James Cameron films yet has nothing to do with either
- The acting, lack of available budgets, painful induced time frame (did I mention the acting?), lack of actual visual effects (I'll give them credit for not even bothering there yet still...), unusual walking, overage people playing younger people and lack of a narrative give BIRDEMIC a run for it's money(!)

Private Resort (1986)
Rifftrax? Where do you go if you're a dude trying to score? A Private Resort of course! This playful romp- yes it is most certainly a romp, stars Johnny Depp and Rob Morrow -as two cater waiters simply trying to get some action (Ew!) But it's not as easy as it might look because of lunacy and jewel thieves run amok- Look for Andrew Dice Clay and Hector Elizondo in this caper! also there are topless women and Johnny Depp's bare backside- this movie was rated R for these reasons I'm sure - so it might not be appropriate for you to riff but here are your links any way!

This movie is a triple threat
It has... David Carradine (star of Rifftrax Future Force and Future Zone), Lee Van Cleef (star? of MST3K Master Ninja 1 and 2) and ROSS HAGEN (Superstar of Rifftrax Wonder Women, and The Hellcats!)
This one has a cast of favorites and is awful, who could ask for more?!?

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (BBC version)
- It's by the late Douglas Adams, just after he was script editor of Tom Baker era Doctor Who.
- It's obviously well written but the 70's look speaks for itself.
- It may be hard getting the rights, but I'm sure the late Douglas would appreciate it.

Boxing Helena (1993)
A surgeon becomes obsessed with the seductive woman he once was in an affair with. Refusing to accept that she has moved on, he amputates her limbs and holds her captive in his mansion.
This movie begs a good riff. Directed by Jennifer Chambers Lynch (with probably some help from her dad, David), this movie is unintentionally hilarious.
It took me about 20 minutes to realize why the Julian Sands kept having to change his shirt every 2 minutes. Poor Helena (Twin Peak's Sheryl Ann Fenn) is being amputated one limb at a time, and she doesn't seem to mind so much. The scene where Sands is making love to her - and she is missing both arms and legs was hilarious.
The guys would have a field day with this one. Please riff Boxing Helena. Thank you.

Bucket of Blood (1959)
After watching the Three-Riffer version of Corman's Little Shop of Horrors, I definitely had to request this 'other version' of the tale. And what do I mean by that, RiffTrax? Well, read on and I'll tell you through the three excellent reasons provided.
1) Strangely similar plot, despite the fact Corman based one of them on a musical: It's true, when you watch both films back-to-back, you immediately realize Corman just took this original plot from Bucket of Blood and simply applied it to Little Shop.
Bucket: Walter's a clueless schmuck who ends up accidentally finding fame by killing innocent people for his art by submerging his victims in plaster/cement, which all started when Walter inadvertently murdered the landlady's cat, attempted to hide the body in plaster and show it as a statue, where some art critic considered it to be one of Walter's finest work.
Shop of Horrors: Seymour acquires fame for his boss' flower shop by creating a hybrid plant that lives off human blood. Seymour accidentally starts killing people off as plant flood when he inadvertently causes the death of a drunk hobo, then has to get rid of the body by feeding it to the plant. Which leads to Seymour becoming a reluctant serial killer (well, more or less, since the first two turn out to be accidental, and I'm still not certain how Seymour killed a dentist with a drill, but that's Corman for you.).
Bucket: Walter gets exposed when the truth accidentally occurs at a big gallery showing (some of the plaster starts falling off under the hot lights).
Shop: Seymour gets exposed at his big moment of being giving a major award (Audrey Junior's buds reveal the faces of the victims Seymour has fed to the plant).
Bucket/Shop: Both involve a 'Benny Hill' like chase scene after the main characters' true intentions are revealed (apparently back then, nobody heard of police simply arresting a person, nor pursuing a suspect with their vehicle instead of on foot).
Bucket/Shop: Both receive their demise ironically, Seymour becomes Audrey Junior's last victim in an attempt to destroy the plant. Whereas Walter ends up become his final work of art as an attempt seeking refuge from his pursuers.
After watching Bucket of Blood you'll wonder if Corman just decided to rehash the plot with Shop but just substitute Walter and plastering people with Seymour feeding people to a killer plant.
Which leads to the next reason itself...
2) Bucket of Blood comes off as a clumsy modernization of House of Wax.
Though Walter is no Prof. Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price), what makes Bucket hilarious is the fact Walter achieves fame rather quickly simply by dunking the landlady's deceased cat in plaster as a means to keep her from finding out, and having some art critic find the 'statue' to be an exquisite work of art. Which sends Walter on his murderous spree just to become famous in the art world, and maintain his status in the art world.
Whereas Price's character gets fame for his wax's statues pretty much the same way, except rather than it being accidental, like Walter's, he does it as a lurid way to get revenge on an unscrupulous former partner (doncha hate when that happens?).
And as Mike indicated in Little Shop of Horrors, the background music in Bucket don't exactly match up on cue. The acting is also hilarious for the fact nobody has a clue about Walter's so-called genius, despite the disturbing reality whenever Walter 'creates' a new work of art, someone sudden goes missing. Even the landlady never figures out his first sculpture is actually her cat, as Walter somehow convinces her that it 'ran off somewhere.' Strangely he uses this excuse whenever someone ends up missing, and people in the Corman universe apparently accept this unquestionably... well, except for the detectives, who know something is up, but they don't know what.
Only when Walter's art starts 'crumbling' at his art show, does everyone suddenly figure it out as if it's an earth-shattering revelation.
At least in the House of Wax, they figured it out a lot sooner and had a better conflict scene with Price than just endless pursuing his character throughout London.
3) Ridiculous plot resolution: For some reason during the Fifties, directors and writers thought it was always 'artistic' if they had the villainous lead meet their demise the same way they did to their victims. Not sure why, but this was a popular device with Corman films apparently, and Bucket of Blood doesn't disappoint.
It would be like if the Blob ended up getting destroyed not by being exposed to subthermal temperatures, but instead by consuming rancid Jello.. though funny-in a bizarre way--it ends up being rather inexplicable by many means.
Overall I believe Mike, Bill and Kevin should take a stab at this Corman Classic for the fact the similarities between it and Shop are uncanny and it's difficult to figure out which one comes off being more unintentionally hilarious.
