Metal Tornado
A movie ripe for riffing! There are many great reasons, but to name only three:
1) Scientist with a Bill Nye style bow tie
2) A movie tagline of "Nothing Can Prepare You for This"
Last, but absolutely not least...
3) Lou Diamond Phillips!21 votes -
Old Dracula (aka Old Drac; Vampira) [1974]
Here's an interesting take on the vampire legend: Dracula portrayed as an Englishman (David Niven) who has recently transformed his castle into a tourist attraction in Transylvania. Secretly while inviting a magazine group to do a story about it, Dracula has ulterior motives.
Strangely, it's not him preying on the young women, turning them into the undead. But instead, acquiring their blood to help his ailing wife he placed in cryostorage, Vampira (and no, not the same one from Plan 9).
Seems about fifty years ago, Vampira bit a peasant with anemia and it nearly did her in. Fortunately after years of research, Drac has found the correct blood to cure her of her malady. Except when he performs the transfusion, an unexpected result occurs where Vampira becomes a black woman (played by Teresa Graves, no pun intended). Although Vampira thinks her husband is clever, Dracula wants to remedy the situation, but cannot recall which girl has the proper blood type.
So they embark on a trip to London, with hilarious results as Vampira snacks on a fellow who has come back from a 'rejuvenation' clinic, admitting he has been transfused with sheep's blood.
Anyway, Drac tracks down the photographer and puts the bite on him. But rather than make him into a vampire, Drac enthralls him in helping to find the correct girl by extracting the proper blood type.
The rest of the film is hilarious for the fact this isn't quite the vampire film one would expect but it's interesting seeing Niven's take on the classic Transylvanian. And I definitely know RiffTrax should do this one, even if it is a comedy.

Electrical Safety From A to Zap (c 1970s - Electricity Safety Short)
As Rifftrax knows every decade possessed a safety film warning about specific dangers. In the 1960s and 70s it was dealing with electricity. Apparently because children were now accidentally electrocuting themselves by sticking forks and paper clips in outlets, rather than throwing cans of gasoline on fires or playing in traffic.
So there came a barrage of safety films (usually put out by the electric companies) to educate us that despite it being the classic toon joke for Tom & Jerry and Looney Tunes films, getting shocked with 10,000 volts was serious business.
So serious, that one company actually produced an animated short (with a supplement comic book no less) to educate just that.
A to Zap is an animated film about a cat and mouse and the dangers of electricity (believe it or not). Basically (as expected) we see the cat attempting to pursue the mouse, only to get 'zapped' by a frayed wired, grabbing a live wire, and other assorted means, until the mouse warns the cat about the feline's carelessness.
Without any real explanation, the mouse becomes all 'Mr. Peabody.' like, forgetting that the cat wants him for a blue-plate special and explains how electricity works and its dangers.
Rather a hilarious film for the fact you're having a cat and mouse having to explain why you shouldn't stick thing in an outlet, grab power lines, or touch active frayed wires. This one would be an excellent short for Mike, Kevin and Bill to riff because it's not only a safety film, but an animated one at that. Oh, here's the comic which went with it.

Seventh Son (2014/2015)
An Eragon-ish, Dragonhearty-ish mess that's full-up with Jeff Bridges' pseudo southern chicken-fried accent. The release was seemingly postponed for a few years, but will probably be on Netflix in a few months.

Jaws of Satan
I have to stop listening to other people because I almost lived a life with no JAWS OF SATAN in it. A cursory scan of other folk’s reactions to the film had me wrongly assuming it was just another bad movie. You know the drill, “Some movies are so bad they’re good, not this one! This one is so bad, it’s just bad.” First of all, I’ll be the judge of that and second of all, wrong. JAWS OF SATAN is not just another bad movie; it is a perfect amalgamation of everything that makes movies not good. I also find it highly entertaining and worth my time because there is never a second of it where it is not doing exactly what it shouldn’t. I stand a bit amazed, here is a film that wasn’t satisfied with being simply a failure of a Satan film, it had to take a crap in the animals run amuck cage too. Just think about the title for a moment, it tells you everything that you need to know.

Saving Christmas
Dear RiffTrax,
I would really love to see the movie "Saving Christmas" with Kirk Cameron, as it has been rated the worst movie on IMDb and looks absolutely god-awful. However, I do not believe that I, my wife, or our friends can accomplish this endeavor without the grace that is RiffTrax commentary. Please, for the love of Kirk Cameron's white, Christian God, riff this awful waste of human effort!66 votes -
Just Imagine!
Made in 1930, takes place in 1980. A Sven-and-Ole-type fellow is transported fifty years into the future via lightning strike(!) Cars have been replaced by biplanes. Jazz has survived as the popular music style. Citizens' names have been replaced with alphanumeric assignations for some reason. An idiotically star-crossed romance somehow leads to a trip to Mars, where a doughy guy rules over a bevy of female Martians. Stars a very young Maureen O'Hara.
P.S. It's a musical.

Arena (1989)
An excellent riff subject.
It features televised human vs alien boxing, a four armed short order cook, at least 2 actors from deep space nine and 1 from Babylon 5.
Set on a space station, a Christopher Reeve lookalike goes from vagrant to heavy weight contender overnight.
Though terribly melodramatic, its actually not a terrible film to watch on its own, but if riffed will be a classic addition to the riff Trax library.

This sizzler promo short
http://digg.com/video/this-1991-commercial-for-sizzler-is-goddamn-magical
This has been going around the Internet the past few weeks and is beyond awful. The pacing of all the cuts may be a bit fast to keep up on the jokes, but it'd be a perfect short before a live event!

Three Kinds of Heat
What more do you need to Riff this? It's got action (not so much), it's got real live stereotypes, it's got Robert Ginty! And, I saved the best for last, it's got THE Doctor as the bad guy. This should have been a comedy and now you guys can finally fulfill the destiny of this movie that is not one, not two, but Three Kinds of Heat!

Shatter (1974)
Stuart Whitman is a hitman made of pure ham, in a film made by Hammer Studios as it was dying and trying a co-production with Shaw Brothers to get any revenue they could, so they went for a sort of.. Eiger Unsanctioned with the Hong Kong martial arts scene instead a mountain. It's a Kung Fu movie about a guy who doesn't know any Kung Fu, Peter Cushing turns up to be pissed off that he's under contract to a dying studio and pretend he cares about exposition. Tacky, filmed in glamorous locations it makes look ugly, and trying to pretend Stuart Whitman is the most dangerous man alive, kinda, sorta, ish, if you squint? The music in the trailer should convince anyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-q7EorVMh8

Johnny Lingo (1969)
The endearing, low-budget film that teaches us about the value of kindness, self-worth, and the trading of cows for wives. As a bonus, we are treated to many Polynesian men in skirts.
