Apache (c 1970s)
Although this was riffed by Guru Larry, this is one short the RiffTrax Crew should do. Originally a British short, the misleading title is not about Native American kids getting picked off Hitchcockian style. But instead dealing with the dangers of the farm.
Think of it as 'Shake Hands With Danger' meets 'Danger! Keep Out' but in a more gruesome tone.
Basically it's about Danny and his friends playing on the farm, and how each one gets picked off in normal, as well as bizarre ways. And that Danny is the most cold-hearted bastard in the entire short, no really.
So why should it get riffed? Here are 3 reasons:
(1) The unusual deaths which occur on the farm. If you thought Christine making Mario fall down a shaft was bad, Apaches has worse: Though one child gets killed by being run down, another drowns in cow crap (I kid you not ), another by accidentally consuming weed killer, and well, you get the picture. But what's more disturbing is the next reason.
(2) Danny's apathetic stare whenever one of his friends meets their demise. Though Larry claims Danny acts like he can't comprehend the way Death works, I say he does and is rather a cold-blooded jerk. Mainly because in some scenes where he COULD go and get help, or even attempt to make a stupid effort, like Christine did with Mario, Danny just stands there with this soulless stare, as if to say, 'Blimey, me friend just drowned in cowshit... oh, well, nothing for it.' And the adults haven't a clue as to why their kids are getting 'bumped off,' so to speak.
(3) The disturbing repacking of this short. Strangely, before Larry revealed this short, I wondered where I had seen it before. Well, when it was put on PBS stations, by GRETA. Producers had retitled it as 'A Day on the Farm.' And if that wasn't disturbing enough, the kids' voices were redubbed by the actors who voiced the Peanuts gang specials. (Let's get fatally injured on a farm, Charlie Brown!)
Overall, Apaches was a bizarre short, because it makes you wonder if it's really about warning kids of the dangers on a farm, or if the director just liked seeing kids offed on one, where apparently there's no adult supervision, or they just don't realize the kids are there.
Here's the full short on YouTube, Public Domain by Guru Larry.

The King Is Alive
The King Is Alive
Roger Ebert said of this movie, "I imagine that many people would be actively hostile towards this movie."
It is a Dogme95 movie, which means it was created using the following set of rules called "The Vow of Chastity":
Shooting must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in (if a particular prop is necessary for the story, a location must be chosen where this prop is to be found).
The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa. (Music must not be used unless it occurs where the scene is being shot.)
The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted.
The film must be in color. Special lighting is not acceptable. (If there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera).
Optical work and filters are forbidden.
Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to say that the film takes place here and now).
Genre movies are not acceptable.
The film format must be Academy 35 mm.
The director must not be credited.That fact alone provides much potential, I would think.
It's "Shakespeare", sorta.
If anyone could make this movie funny, it would be you guys.
If those are all not good reasons, I don't know what is.

Justice League of America
This is the REEEEALY bad 1997 made for tv movie with David Ogden Stiers as Martian Manhunter, gut and all. This was almost as painful as the Star Wars Christmas special. Someone sent me a copy of it years ago. I will gladly mail it to you for you to feast your eyes on the glory of badness that was the JLA movie. This movie is just begging to be riffed.

A Christmas Melody (Hallmark Channel) RiffTax Live!
Hallmark Christmas movies are great fun and cry out to be riffed. It would be awesome to see this done as a live event for the holidays.
Here are 3 good reasons:
Hallmark Channel movie
Miriah Carey - Acting!
Miriah Carey - Directing!
The lighting & camera effects on her own close-ups are so bad it's good.

Home Alone (1990)
What to say about this Christmas "classic". Horrible and neglectful parents, a bratty kid who gets everything he wants with almost no consequences for his actions, incompetent yet homicidal burglars who threaten to bite a child's fingers off. All the things you would expect in a 80's/90's family film! I have to give credit to Chris Columbus and John Huges. Few people are bold enough to turn a tight home invasion thriller into a Christmas comedy. Plus this movie gave the world Macaulay Culkin, that alone is a big enough sin to warrant a Rifftrax.

The Kingdom of Could Be You (First Episode)
This is the first of a TV series produced for children in the 1970s about what they could be when they grew up. As encouraging as it was meant to be, it just turns out to be goofy, complete with standard early-1970s animation.

Firepower (1993)
In the year 2007, crime has risen at an exponential rate. Once highly populated metropolises such as Los Angeles are no longer inhabitable. These cities have transformed into "Hell Zones," ruled by violent street gangs. The Hell Zone, formerly called the "Zone of Personal Freedom," is a safe-haven for criminal warpaths everywhere. This Hell Zone in LA is controlled by a criminal mastermind named Drexal (Joseph Ruskin). For the sake of entertaining his crowds of decadent losers and underlings, Drexal has staged a series of lethal, no-holds-barred matches in the "Death Ring," where the winner takes all of the glory...while the defeated one shall lose his self-respect (or maybe just his head). Meanwhile, two brave cops, Braniff (Chad McQueen), and Sledge (Gary Daniels) must risk their badges...and their lives when they enter Los Angeles's "Hell Zone." They must fight for their lives in order to expose an alleged "black market" involving the sale of counterfeit AIDS vaccines. Will these two men triumph against all odds in the Hell Zone alive or will they pay with their lives?

Benji (1974)
The logline of the film cracks me up. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071206/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
You can never get a dog to act. They don't care.
This film was nominated for an Oscar. ?!

Friday the 13th in 3-D
This third installment of the series makes the move from horror movie to slasher flick and every scene and plot point is painfully contrived to advance the story. Add to that an early attempt at 3-D moviemaking, and you get some truly tragic scenes.
You also get a nice shot of a camper singing in an outhouse.30 votes -
Katy Caterpillar (1984)
You've seen the mind fucks Mexico produces with live-action movies for kids, but here's their attempt at an animated feature. Katy is a caterpillar bored with her dull life, so the disembodied voice of Mother Nature sends her on a journey of self-discovery. Along her way she meets many strange creatures, few of which contribute anything to the plot aside from heavy-handed, half-assed morals. Highlights include a gang of racist chameleons, a big-boobed spider who talks like Mae West, and liberal use of Katy's catch phrase, "Whippity-pow!"
Here's Infamous Animation with a more detailed look:

Daniel - Der Zauberer
This movie has been in the "top 10" of IMDB's "Bottom 100" page since, well, forever!
Daniel Kublbock, the star of the film, not only came from one of those "Idol" shows; he looks like Michael Jackson!
Ulli Lommel directed this! (Nuff said!)

Silent Hill
1) It's Carnival of Souls meets City of the Dead and is less comprehensible than Bermuda Triangle. 2) It thinks it's deeper than it is and needs to be deflated. 3) It has plenty of well known actors. Also, while it isn't a good film it does have some visually impressive environments and creatures. And its widely available online for cheap!

The Internet, how the f$%* does it work? The writers of this film certainly have no idea. This film is about a live torture website that is haunted by the ghost of one of the victims, so whoever logs into it has 48 hours before they will be killed by their worst fear - including any cops who look at the site trying to solve the mystery of her death. "Help me, but you looked at the sight so die..." Also, the name of the website is http://www.feardotcom.com - yes, that's right, Fear dot com dot com!
Terrible writing and terrible acting despite having a few good actors in it. Udo Kier doesn't get any lines... but at least he bleeds from the eyes! Creepy albino kids, Ramstein music, and computer talk that sounds like it's from 1990 intsead of 2002 - Feardotcom dot com!
