I have to say that the funniest ones I have seen are for The Happening and Twiligt thus far. Spiderman 2 was also pretty funny. I'm trying the Dark Knight next, upon hearing of Prince of Space references.

The Wicker Man is my favourite personally; I just can't get enough of them bees.

But really, The Star Wars Holiday Special should be anyones first Rifftrax purchase. It's the first Rifftrax I show to new people and ticks all the boxes of a great riff.

[x] Insane source material.
[x] Three riffers.
[x] Sci-fi.
[x] 1970s.
[x] Musical interludes.
[x] Chewbacca's lifeless stare.

The Room is great like Manos: The Hands of Fate is great.

If you're not a hardened fan, it'll kill you and you'll ask "why the gently caress are we watching this poo poo?" and then never, ever watch another episode. If you're officially a fanboy and have been through the nightmarish hellscape of something like Red Zone Cuba/Transformers/Twilight, you might just survive it.

And since I say it every page, my favorite is The Day After Tomorrow.

The SWHS is literally so terrible that even a riff cannot make it worth watching. I've seen every riff just about, and that's the only one I had to just call off 20 minutes in.

Well there's your problem. The first 30 minutes is a sans-dialogue interpretive piece about Wookie family dynamics.

After that is when you get the worst cartoon ever, a very drunk Carrie Fisher, Bea Goddamn Arthur, and whatever the hell that final song is. Plus Mark Hammill in more makeup than a Cher impersonator.

The riffing is okay, but the movie is just awful. The franchise just needs to die for a few years.

Maybe someone can resurrect it like Abrams did with Star Trek.

Paranormal Activity has to be the most annoyingly stupid movie ever.

THRILL as a chunky girl brushes her teeth!

No one will be seated during the exciting "Douchebag with a girl's name stands around" scene.


e: Wow, that sucked. That had to be the most unappealing onscreen couple since whatever Vince Vaughn movie came out before this.

Great Rifftrax, though.

I dunno dude, I thought it was some golden poo poo.

e: But gently caress, that truly was terrible. Nice to see dreck like this can make 150 million bucks though. Gives me hope for my next dull as dirt screenplay. It'll be set in a skip and will follow the TERRIFYING life of a can of baked beans as THE LABEL FADES IN THE SUN. None shall be seated during the thrilling FIRST SPOT OF RUST DETECTED scene. I'm going to start casting for the SCREECHING HARPY role in the next few weeks. I tried casting a decomposing vole as the HENPECKED TWAT BOYFRIEND but it had too much personality.

I think most of the people who adored the riff were just the people who hated the movie. I thought the movie was flawed but still pretty good and found the riff hit and miss. Loved the times they actually made JOKES and got annoyed by the stream of, "I'm bored, nothing is happening," comments.

I can imagine a riff of Eraserhead just being the gang doing a play by play of the events in the movie. "Well, it seems like those tiny chickens are excreting a dark black liquid. Well, now the old lady is getting hysterical about something, I don't know."

It'd probably go over as well as my first viewing of Eraserhead. It'd include lots and lots of weeping begging for an explanation.

Just finished the last of the original Star Wars trilogy. Unfortunately it's been a while since my last viewing, and had to agree with the crew: a lot of it didn't hold up too well. ESPECIALLY the digital additions, good gently caress what was Lucas thinking? Also, I remember thinking "what was so bad about the Ewoks?" and then remembered that I liked them...as a child

I was surprised they snuck in the Avatar reference during RotJ, there's no way they are letting that one off the hook

It's really bizarre that they have a guest riffer on American Thrift part 1 but then part 2 took forever to come out and they lost the guest. You'd think they just do an entire short like that at once and just record it all in one go.

Speaking of part twos: http://www.rifftrax.com/shorts/call-it-free-part-2

When I got the first part, they screwed up the file and I got the entire short, but only the first half was riffed. They fixed it, of course.

You should probably list the ones you've bought already and we can suggest based off that.

For starters, there's The Room, Eragon as mentioned, Cloverfield, the Matrix trilogy, and 300. Those are all good ones, the first three especially.
