I didn't see a thread really devoted to this. If I'm just dumb again, somebody tell me.
Ghostbusters 2! I just watched this one and realized how bad it is. I watched both Ghostbusters movies repeatedly when I was younger, but never realized how bad GB2 is (especially in the face of how great GB1 is). The humor is flat, the acting is remarkably bad all around, the story is weak and often totally hokie (come on, Lady Liberty walking thanks to pink slime and an annoying song is nowhere close to the awesomeness of Stay-Puft), and the effects are not impressive.
My favorite riffable moment:
Vigo (no, not Viggo, but there's some opportunity for riffidge right there) is being sucked back into the painting and his face looks all funny . . .
Ghostbuster: He's weakening! Me: His face is shrinking! He's turning into Joe Don Baker!
Really, watch it and I'm sure you'll agree: it's eerily uncanny. And funny!

The 1976 King Kong, I would love for them to riff. I was watching it the other night and have forgotten how bad and cheesy it was. Got to love it when Kong was blow drying Jessica Lange and the hippie Jeff Bridges. Horrendous but funny as hell.

Zardoz - This one is BEGGING to be Riffed! (Right behind Battlefield Earth) Why? 1) Sean Connery is in a red diaper. 2) It was made in the 70's and had the stink of patcholie oil and bong water all over it! Goofy Sci-Fi at its best! Riff it.
The most improbable and impossible Riff of all time - Mel Gibson's "The Passion of The Christ" Come on Mike, Kevin, Bill and Disembodio; I triple dog dare you!!!!

I've got a little list:
Dick Tracy Star Wars Episode II Gremlins The Ring The Terror (old Jack Nicholson movie) Death Race 2000
And pretty much any movie that is a remake is game

Top Gun! Wait... um... No, I know. Cocktail! No no no... The 5th Element!
Crap. I'm really not very good at this, am I?

Forrest Gump.
The worst acclaimed movie ever. Worse than Titanic.
I'd love to rip it to shreds myself, but having Mike and Kevin and/or Bill rip it to shreds would be even better.

I agree complete, love to see it riffed. Is there ever a worse saying then Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get. Why not read the box.

What's even worse is the message that if you love a girl, and are persistent enough, even though she's a junkie, an emotional wreck, and treats you like crap your whole life, she'll eventually become desperate/high enough to have pity sex with you, and then run out on you again, and then come back to you when she knows she's dying of AIDS, just so you can raise the kid she didn't tell you about when she was healthy. Viva life!

Do you think Mike'll ever do Mannequin? I haven't seen it since I was ten probably, so I can't say personally that I think it'd work, but it just seems like it would have been on the same list as Road House.

It looks like they're very much sticking to average mainstream Hollywood fare of the last 5 or so years at the moment.

I'd love to see Mike tackle Brazil. Granted, it's my favorite film of all time, but it also doesn't make any sense unless you watch it a couple times (or managed to get your hands on the director's cut). The dream sequences, especially the one at the very end, the supremely paranoid government, the rather pessimistic ending... I'd say the whole thing's perfect for Rifftrax treatment.
Of course, if Rifftrax is sticking to stuff from five years ago at the latest, my vote's for Brother's Grimm or any film directed by Uwe Boll.

I always thought Mannequin was to Joel what Road House was to Mike. The riffs seemed to die down once Joel left. SWITCHER! You are one sick puppy.

I haven't bought any RiffTrax yet, but I'll leap at the chance if they ever do The Day After Tomorrow. I riffed the hell out of that one the last time I saw it, and I'd love to see what Mike, Kevin, and Bill could do with it.
And though I haven't seen The Wicker Man, I've seen clips on YouTube, and Nicholas Cage truly redefines the term "bad actor" in this one. If RiffTrax ever gets a hold of it, though, they've gotta do the unrated version - it features a memorable scene in which Cage is tortured with a contraption where they put a cage over his head and dump live bees inside, and his over-the-top delivery on "NOT THE BEES! AAAARGHH! THEY'RE IN MY EYES! THEY'RE IN MY EYES!" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. And this is supposed to be suspenseful.
