Speed, Die Hard (the RiffRaff version) and Minority Report are pretty good too. RiffRaff Theatre and the Disciples of Golan are about the only decent iRiffers I've found.

Casablanca is a great movie, yes, but it's also enraptured by its own wonderfulness. Seeing the excellent job they did on this means that potentially one of my favourite movies of all time, Citizen Kane might get a good going over. It too is overblown, long winded and highly mockable - Orson trashing the room is hilarious out of context. Though if they touch The Third Man there'll be hell to pay.

Then again, I once argued to a bunch of fundies that Dogma is 100% more of a genuine and heartfelt religious movie than The Passion of the Christ. And it is.

Sorry Woody Allen, sorry Monty Python, sorry Peter Sellers, you just don't cut the mustard. If only there'd been more than just Terry Jones dressed as a woman in the Life of Brian, maybe things would've been different.

Isn't most of that AFI poo poo about how much those movies have inspired other filmmakers and yadayadayada? Revolutionary for it's time and whatnot... Also I'm definitely affected by the RiffTrax guys when watching a movie I love, or that I at least know is very good. Star Wars: A New Hope really started to look ridiculous after watching it with the RiffTrax.

Plavski posted:Yup, A New Hope, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Spiderman 2, The Matrix, The Dark Knight, Iron Man... to name but 7, are movies I previously really liked but now post-Riff I don't have much affection for. There's a certain level of badness I can overlook in those movies, so I can laugh along with the riffers. Transformers would have been better without Shia Lebouf. Cloverfield would have been much better had the cameras not been recording anything.

Man, Transformers. I had only seen it once in theaters and I liked it, but the Rifftrax was a goddamn revelation. I had been told the movie was bad, but jesus that movie is loving terrible. It's not just Shia LeBouf, it's the script, it's Megan Fox, it's John Turturro, it's the mom and dad, it's every goddamn scene with humans.

The Wachowskis ruined Matrix for me years ago. I loving LOVED the original back when it came out (just like every other nerd) and then the sequels happened. Now I can't even watch the original anymore. gently caress those guys. The rest, I don't mind so much. I mean it's probably my inner reviewer that's making me aware of the silliness in those movies, but I like them anyway for the good that exists beside the silly bits. I can fully enjoy them as movies and laugh at the silly bits as well.
