|  | Favorite Episodes: A Reference Thread
« Thread Started on May 4, 2012, 1:44pm » | |
Okay, so we've done this a thousand times, but not this way. I thought it might be fun to compile a list of everyone's favorite episodes so that MST3K neophytes can read this thread and decide where to start watching.
List your top 3 episodes. That's it. We're not looking for debate or discussion about riffing vs. movie quality vs. host segments or anything like that. All we're looking for is your legitimate favorite 3 episodes to help newcomers know where to start.
I'd like to sticky the thread as a handy reference guide showing what we, the viewers at home, think.
I'll start:
1. Girls Town
2. The Rebel Set
3. Night of the Blood Beast

I don't know if I can narrow it down to three episodes, but if I wanted to both introduce MST3k in its entirety and recommend episodes:
Eegah
Werewolf
Rocket Attack: USA

As has been said, this is almost impossible. Without looking at the list of episodes, or analyzing things too much, I'd say...
Space Mutiny
Gamera
Soultaker

I really couldn't rank all the episodes. It all depends what mood I'm in. However, I'll try to draw up three great episodes for a starter.
1. Santa Claus
2. Riding with Death
3. Cave Dwellers

Mr. Atari starting a list thread? This must be one of the signs of the apocalypse. Like many I could never make a definitive list but here's three off the cuff.
102 - The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy
323 - Castle of Fu-Manchu
1009 - Hamlet
Oh sorry, good episodes.
311 - It Conquered the World
406 - Attack of the Giant Leeches
524 - 12 to the Moon

Mine right now:
Werewolf
Space Mutiny
Catalina Caper
To me, these shows capture the humor and I think are pretty user friendly for new viewers.
