Alien from LA is the only one I really really struggle with. I tried rewatching it today, got just over halfway through. Its such a bizarre film and the riffing is terrible.

I don't think I'll ever sit through Alien from LA again.

Alien from LA does have a few good lines but not enough to justify the movie. Now if Kathy Ireland did the movie naked....

I wanted to put this in the "So I Just Finished Watching" thread, but it really belongs here.
The Creeping Terror. Good Lord, did this movie suck. Sometimes the riffing will make lemonade out of crap, but not this time. This one is at the bottom of the barrel for me, right next to The Incredibly Strange Creatures....

And the unMSTed Creeping Terror is on the disc. Could anyone sit through that? It has kind of a Coleman quality to it. I like Incredibly Strange Creatures though.

Personally, I've never really had to turn any of the eps off -- the riffs always save the movies for me. And I love the fantasy ones -- "Jack Frost" is one of my favorite eps, just because it's so bizarre (and I always laugh at Servo's Tom Petty impressions, and Crow shouting, "Shut your kringle hole!"). "Hamlet" was pretty slow, but it gets funnier every time I watch it (especially Mike's lispy, "That's not what I heard, sunshine"). The only ones, for me, that are difficult to watch are the Sci-Fi era Japanese flicks "Prince of Space" and "Invasion of the Neptune Men." The kids are always really annoying with their tiny shorts and strangely dubbed voices, and the interminable spaceship fight at the end of "Invasion" just makes me want to scream.

Most indeed, Crowjunkie! I just watched that for the first time today and I almost changed it to MTV2 It was purely horrible. Luckily the 'bots were funny enough to save that movie. (SOMETIMES. . .)

HAMLET and CASTLE OF FU MANCHU immediately come to mind.
THE SLIME PEOPLE is physically "unwatchable" with all the fog throughout the movie.
For a long time, THE CRAWLING HAND was the only Season One episode I owned. And for some reason I just could never seem to make it all the way through. Maybe it was the old Servo or the lack of TV's Frank. Heck, maybe it was because the movie stunk.

I think the thing about Manos first timers are they are caught off guard by the sheer badness of the movie. When I saw Manos for the first time, I thought it was great! To me, the worse the movie is, the funnier it is.

I don't know, the riffing on Bloodwaters of Dr. Z was not good enough, especially as horrible as that was. Night of The Blood Beast is another one that I could only stand to watch once. The riffing just wasn't good on that one. That's about it for the one's I've watched.

It's just kinda slow at first, but it really picks up as it goes along.

I thought Hamlet was sub-par but had some good lines in it, I think it's all the shakespeare riffs that make it confusing but I know some of what they were riffing. Otherwise the rest of the episodes i have seen have all been pretty decent.

The Unearthly is slow, but Tor Johnson makes it worthwhile.
I can't bear the pain of Red Zone Cuba... It's just so terrible, I can barely make it past John Carridine (sp?) in his starring role for 42 seconds...

I would have to agree with Red Zone Cuba, but it has been about 6 years since I seen that episode, so maybe I should give it another chance! That Colman Franis - whatever gave him the idea he could shoot a good movie?
