Simple. From Best to Worst:
1. Experiment #315 - Teenage Caveman. Best Host Segments ever.
2. Experiment #620 - Danger!! Death Ray. Funniest riffing ever, plus a pretty good movie, to boot.
3. Experiment #820 - Space Mutiny. LOVE the riffing.
4. Experiment #701TD - Night Of The Blood Beast - first episode I ever saw, fell in love immediately. I'd like to see the non-Turkey Day edition as well, though.
5. Experiment #M01 - Mystery Science Theater 3000 - THE MOVIE - This Island Earth. Sure, it was heavily edited, but I love the riffs.

In no particular order...
The Creeping Terror (a godawful movie with fabulous riffing) Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (I cannot get through December without viewing this ep at least twice) Ring of Terror (the one that started it all for me) The Castle of Fu Manchu (my favorite ep to fall asleep to, and no, not because of how dull the movie or the ep is. It's like comfort food to me. Just a great ep IMO) Godzilla vs. Megalon (I don't know why, but I just LOVE this one)

1.) "Manos: The Hands Of Fate" -- I know, I know...it's a cliched number one. But, watching this episode for the first time was a life-altering experience for me. And it's the reason the haunting Torgo theme is constantly playing in my head.
2.) "Red Zone Cuba" -- I have seen this movie countless time, and I still don't know whether I should laugh at it, pity it, or fear it.
3.) "The Incredibly Strange Creatures..." -- Wow. Just...wow.
4.) "Puma Man" -- My favorite superhero EVER!
5.) "Riding With Death" -- Because it's more elusive than Robert Denby.
And an honorable mention goes to (of course) "The Touch Of Satan", for being one of the only films that I honestly *liked*. And, if you promise not to tell ANYONE, I will also admit to kinda, sorta, maybe liking "Hobgoblins", too. I thought it was cute. Shhhhhhh.

I'm gonna give this a try...but don't blame me if I can't narrow it down.
1. 521 "Santa Claus" - A children's movie that thinks it's charming and endearing without realizing that it's completely bat-poopie insane. That's funny enough, but the scathingly dark riffs and the excellent host segments blast this episode into the stratosphere, securing its spot as one of the funniest episodes ever. 2. 820 "Space Mutiny" - This being the first episode I ever saw, it holds a special place in my heart. The movie is delightfully inept and unequivocally dated, and the riffs tear it to pieces with grim accuracy. The host segments aren't as brilliant as they could be, though, but they hold their own. 3. 606 "The Creeping Terror" - Everything that a moviemaker can do wrong is present in this low-budget hack job of a movie, and it's a smorgasbord of opportunities that the riffing thoroughly demolishes. Even though the host segments have next to nothing to do with the movie, I still laugh my butt off at 'em. 4. 904 "Werewolf" - Hard to believe that, even in the mid-1990s when MST3K was in full swing, people still made movies like this. The riffs pinpoint every inaccuracy, every inconsistency, every iota of ineptitude that the film lays out for them, and it results in pure brilliance. 5. 210 "King Dinosaur" - The first Bert I. Gordon clunker that the show tackled still remains the best. Everything from the cheapo special effects to the incomprehensible story gets its due, and as an added bonus, this episode features MST3K's first educational short, which also receives first-rate riffing. Add the insane host segments and you've got gold, baby.
There's plenty more that I love ("The Beginning of the End", "Zombie Nightmare", "Eegah", "Teenagers from Outer Space", "The Screaming Skull", "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank", "The Amazing Colossal Man", and so on), but these are undoubtedly my five favorites.

Ok, five eps, should be a piece of cake.
Monster-a-go-go: This movie seems to be a combination of two or more shorter films as the "Monster" kept disappearing from the film. The Capsule, the Phone, the monster's night attack that has no monster and that ending are all signs of a really bad movie and a great epsiode.
Manos: I have to list this one because it was the first MST3k I saw. I have to admit I love the soundtrack, sort of really bad new age jazz with some out of tune singing.
Beast of Yucca Flats: Progress Island! Ben Franklin! Tor Johnson!
Werewolf: Well, it has bad, vaguely European accents but it claims it was shot on location in California, doubling for Arizona and all the main characters are foreignish. My head hurts already. "Nose to anus" always makes me laugh though.
Attack of the the Eye Creatures: Larry Buchanan actually makes Ed Wood and Coleman Francis seem competent. Marvel at those High Noon for Night shots and the coverall monster suits that don't! Remember, Bad things are going on up there!
