One Live Ghost
It's a comedy film from 1936.
It's not a great short but it's great for riffing material.
The short features a young Lucille Ball playing as a maid.

The Prestige
A pretty good movie I will admit. Where Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman play rival magicians in this Christopher Nolan film.
The acting and script are good, but it could make a good JTJ.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/

How to Pick Up Men
Dr. Elliott Jaffa, a cross between Robert Reed and Alex Trebek, guides very 1980's women through a course on picking up men. His advice includes asking supermarket cashiers "when is the best time to pick up men", suggesting that women seat themselves next to random men at the restaurant, and accosting men on the street to get directions to a place you already know. BMJ would have a field day dissecting his advice. This short can also be significantly condensed for time.

Mr. Corbett's Ghost
Never heard of this till recently, but upon seeing this title all I could say was this has to be riffed! It's a TV movie from 1987 that is also one of John Huston's final roles!
Just it's title alone is worthy to get a riffing.

The Lost Missile (1957)
A fusion-powered alien rocket is hit by a Soviet missile, causing it to circle the Earth at 4,000mph, at an altitude of 5 miles, vaporizing everything it flies over. It's on a path toward New York, and will eventually torch most of the earth. Victims include a dogsled, a French-Canadian family, and the city of Ottawa.
This movie has most of the tropes on your B-movie bingo card, and one thing that makes it a must for Rifftrax. It's got a mysterious alien threat. It's got young scientists in love at a government lab with an atomic pile and a…

Dying Young
You wouldn't expect a film with this title to have laughable moments and be riffable now would you? This tearjerker from 1991 has quite laughable acting by Julia Roberts.
Might be a good one for the girls, or for Mike and Bridget, Bridget finding it beyond sad and Mike laughing!22 votes -
Black Adam
The Rock stars as Black Adam, who is a antihero by DC! This entry in the DCU be a good riff, with former James Bond Pierce Bronson as Dr. Fate. (He was probably the best part of the film!)

Volton
This electrical safety video was made in 1990 by Edison Electric Institute. It's narrated by Volton, pure electrical energy, who takes you on a cool computer a animated journey through the power grid, and then shows you how to be safe around overhead and underground wires. Whenever someone gets shocked, you will hear Volton savagely snarl "GROUND!"

Gemini Man (2019)
Will Smith vs. Will Smith! That alone makes it riffable! He fights a clone of himself that looks like him but 20 years younger! (A riff of there like "did they use visuals to make him look younger?" Followed by "No, they started filming this 20 years ago!")

Spaceways
An old Hammer films sci fi made in 1953.
It has some rather amusing special effects and is cheesy. An obscure and old sci fi I found recently that be perfect riff fodder for either Mike, Kevin and Bill or Bridget and Mary Jo.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceways

The Boy and the Pirates
Today Bert I. Gordon died at the age of 100, RIP.
Here is a film I found by him that makes a great riff. A 1960 adventure film with his daughter who you should recognize from Tormented as well as an episode of The Twilight Zone along with former child star Charles Herbert.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053672/
