Wild at the Wheel
This 1970s driver safety film follows Kenny, a teenager trying to be cool by speeding and driving aggressively. While looking down to change the radio station, he drives off a cliff, rolls his Mustang, and dies. The whole 10-minute film is narrated by a traffic investigator who goes into ridiculous detail psychoanalyzing Kenny in an attempt to determine his motivations for speeding, including interviewing his father, brother, boss, and teacher. Also, the soundtrack is damn funky. Major plus: the pauses in the narration are the perfect length for riffs. Watch it here: http://youtu.be/dJGuoiCiS9Q

Aspen Extreme
This 1993 'skiing' drama is advertised on the DVD cover as Top Gun on the slopes. While the acting is semi-believable, the combination of cliche sports action/love quadrangle/bromance and other sudsy tropes (complete with bro catfight), blatant plot holes, those awful neon, onesie outfits from back in the day, big hair, an "I'm soooo eeeeevil" antagonist, French head instructor/boss, and ridiculous stunt skiing scenes that were mostly filmed in British Columbia, prove it's no Top Gun. However, it's got loads of Rifftrax potential for the 80s Cheese category, despite the belated release date.

"The life of a witch is disrupted by the arrival of a boy and his mother. The intruders' presence makes her struggle to adjust to the modern world, and to change from bad to good witch. Based on the book "Old Black Witch" by Wende and Harry Devlin. Starring Hermione Gingold, Anna Strasberg, Roger Morgan and Burgess Meredith as the Narrator.
Thomas Sand Productions
Director: Gerald Herman
Witch: Hermione Gingold
Mother: Anna Strasberg
Nicky: Roger Morgan
Narrator: Burgess Meredith"This is just weird enough to work I think haha. It's 22 minutes - not bad for a short film plus its narrated by Burgess Meredith aka the Penguin from the 1960's Batman series....and there's a Witch!
If anyone's interested in watching it first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkDmt8YsZN4
This seems to me like it would make a perfect addition to the Rifftrax Short's catalog.
Some more synopsis type information I found on a blog called The Obscurity Factor (I was looking up info on Santa Claus and the Fairy Snow Queen and came across a blog post about it that linked to this short aswell).
"Little Nicky and his mother (Anna Strasburg) leave the big city for a new home in the country. They buy one that is rumored to be haunted and upon moving in meet the witch that haunts the place (Hermione Gingold). They relegate her to the attic while they try and make the home pleasant. She becomes depressed and one day Nicky tries to cheer her up. He discovers she used to cook for the other witches that lived in the house, so he asks her to cook for them. She makes blueberry pancakes, but not just ordinary blueberry pancakes - these pancakes make people happy. When Nicky's mother tastes them, she decides to open a pancake parlor.
This film, which was narrated by Burgess Meridith, was recently written up in the NY Times. It has developed the kind of cult following that has made it a legend. It was made by Parent's Magazine and distributed through schools, to be shown at assemblies and when rain kept the children in during recess. It was lost to the sands of time until the internet came along. Hundreds of people were finally vindicated in their memories of this odd little film that none of their friends remembered.
Here's a link to the New York Times article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/fashion/a-1969-film-touches-a-generation.html?_r=2&src=tptw&The Obscurity Factor: 8 (almost completely forgotten until it was featured in the times)."
and that's from: http://theobscurityfactor.blogspot.com/2011/05/hermione-gingold-in-winter-of-witch.html
Pretty cool blog with tons of obscure titles.
Enjoy

Journey of the Lost Balloon
1961
(Rated PG)
IMDB:
A professor is hired to navigate across Africa in a hot-air balloon to rescue a lost explorer, but a mysterious local villain named "Hindu" commandeers the balloon for his own nefarious purposes.An advertising gimmick used for this film was the giveaway of "motion sickness pills" to ticket buyers. The critics had a field day with it.
Hindu: Don't be misled. There could be a thousand cannibals beneath those fronds and you wouldn't see one. It was among these very trees that the unfortunate Frenchman Maison was murdered in 1845.
[picks up a piece of cheese]
Hindu: He was captured by the cannibals of the region and tied to the foot of a giant cocoa palm.
[begins cutting the cheese]
Hindu: Then the savage chief cut him slowly, limb from limb, and then literally tore the half-severed head from the body. Maison was only 26. Cheese?
[offers Ellen some cheese]Hindu: This orgy may well be her last.
Doctor Farady: I was just wondering who's in the Tabasco sauce.

Starflight: The Plane That Couldn't Land (AKA Starflight One)
Lee Majors stars as the pilot of a supersonic space plane that is knocked off course on its maiden voyage and must be rescued by the space shuttle (several space shuttles, actually). I think Hal Linden was in it, too. A bad TV disaster movie from the early 80s.

The Midnight Hour (1985)
This is the ultimate bad Halloween film, starring LeVar Burton (post "Roots", Pre "Reading Rainbow"/"Star Trek TNG"), Peter DeLuise, Shar Belafonte and Michelle Pfeiffer...'s sister Deedee.
A 1985 Classic made-for-TV movie about teenagers in a sleepy New England town bringing the dead back to life on Halloween by reading an 300-year old witch's scroll--this movie has EVERYTHING!
ZOMBIES! WEREWOLVES! ROMANCES WITH GHOSTS! WITCHY-VAMPIRE LADIES! DANCING! SINGING! THE DAD FROM "THAT '70'S SHOW"!
This movie is a hidden gem of classic Halloween fun. So bad but oh-so good!
