If this has been done before I apologize, but what is the one movie released since the show went off the air that you guys would like to see given the MST3K treatment?
I'm going to go with Pearl Harbor. There were alot of things I was riffing on in that waste of film stock, so I can just imagine how great it would be to hear them rip it to shreds. They would have to cut alot out because it was so painfully long, but I think it would be hilarious.
I was going to go with another Affleck turkey, Gigli. My wife and I watched a little of it on cable a few months ago to see why it got such awful reviews...Let's just say the bad reviews were dead on and I figured it would be almost too easy!

Hmm. Recent movies.
OK. I think 'The Terminal' is BEGGING to be riffed. I watched this on a trans-pacific flight which made it all the more painful to watch. It hurt me and I want someone to hurt it.

None of em. For me, a big part of the show was that they riffed on the old movies, like a creature feature sort of thing. That’s just my preference.

I watched Hulk yesterday and am currently imagining what a goldmine episode that could have been.
Betty: This isn't funny! You were gonna die! I was gonna watch you die!
Crow: (in female voice) How dare you deprive me of that?!

God.... the Village! I did my own MST commentary for that flick in the theater and actually got some laughs. The biggest coming at the end, "Yeah, get a bunch of hippies together, and this is what happens!"

The acting was ok, but Night needs to go back to the drawing board I think. It wasn't at all scary and I had it figured out wayyyyy too early. I think they would have a field day with that one. |

STEEL (1997. Ok, so it's not current): Based off of the DC comic book. Shaq vehicle starring the untalented renaissance man as John Henry Irons, a weapons designer (about as believable as Tor Johnson as a Russian scientist) who quits after his friend Sparks (Annabeth Gish) is paralyzed from the waist down after a weapons test gone awry. When he goes home and finds street gangs have his high-tech weapons thanks to a treacherous former lieutenant Nathaniel Burke (Judd Nelson), he, along with Sparks and junkyard owner Uncle Joe (Richard Roundtree), builcs a steel suit and gadget-laden sledgehammer to stop Burke from selling them to crime lords around the world. Written and directed by Kenneth Johnson [!] of V fame [!!]. Oh, they would do a real number on Shaq in this episode, everything from giant jokes (rumbling sounds made by Crow as Shaq walks) to stuff like this:
(we see Irons in full Steel costume for the first time)
Mike: He's not a man of steel, he's a long-lost Power Ranger!
GIGLI (2003): Bennifer vehicle. Need I say more?
3000 MILES TO GRACELAND (2001): Kurt Russell is Michael Zane, an ex-con who joins a gang led by Thomas J. Murphy (Kevin Costner) who plot a heist of $3.2 million at a Las Vegas casino. It happens during Vegas' "International Elvis Week," so the gang dress as Elvis impersonators so they won't be noticed. After the heist, Murohy double-crosses and kills all except Mike, who survives and tries to track down the stolen jack.
Also stars Courtney Cox as a widow Mike falls in love with. Plus, you get David Arquette, Bokeem Woodbine, and Christian Slater as the other memebers of the gang. That's not all. As the U.S. marshals trying to track Murphy down? Kevin Pollak [!!!] and Thomas Haden Church [!!!!!]. Yes, the owner of the greatest Capt. Kirk impression ever and Lowell from "Wings" are tracking down a psychopath. Another one that deserves a good riffing.

Hey no I LOVE 3000 Miles to Graceland! Them's fighting words! I respect your opinon. It got a "decent" rating from me, but I would still like to see it riffed. Imagine what M&TB would say at stuff like this:  Crow: Go go Elvis Rangers!  Mike: You have been warned.  Tom: So Lowell went and became a deputy? They'll let ANYONE join the force. |

I'm sorry, any movie that begins with an over the top poorly done CGI scorpion fight automatically gets **** stars in my book.

Not really recent, but I think we can all agree that the 1998 Godzilla movie needs to be riffed.
On a recent note, despite being effectively creepy, "The Grudge" has a lot of plot holes that could be riffed upon, and Mike and the Bots would have a killer time making "Buffy" jokes whenever Sarah Michelle Gellar and the evil ghost demon girl are on screen.
Mike: What are you waiting for, Buffy, JUST HIT HER!
*While creepy Grudge lady is crawling down the stairs*
Tom: Great, it's Gatika all over again!
*During the credits*
Crow: So, the ultimate lesson in this movie is to live out in the wild and have absolutely no contact with anyone else on it or you might get haunted by a jawless version of the girl from "The Ring?"
Mike: Either that or that architecture in Japan has become so sturdy that their houses, despite being made mostly of paper and wood, can survive ghost hauntings and arson.
