What is your favorite movie to do 'mystery science theater' style viewings to?

Sittin' around, drinkin' some drinkies and only paying attention enough to riff on the action and dialogue. I personally am a fan of Street Fighter (the van damme one) though New Moon proved incredibly easy even though I'd never seen it.

    Road House
    Garden State (I know a lot of people liked it, but I HATED that movie)
    The Notebook

    I've also heard the new Sex and the City movie is good for this.

    The Warriors
    Conan (either one)
    The Postman

    I've never seen Gigli, but I might like to in this type of setting.

    Harry Potter - any of 'em work, but the third (Prisoner of Azkaban, for the muggles in the crowd) is soo hells of fun - methinks Alfonso C (check his directing credits, and decide for yourself...) threw in sexy visual clues for these kinds of games on purpose (whereas chris columbus took himself waaay too seriously).

    Let us review facts:
    it starts off with Harry playing with his wand under the covers at night again, and his uncle is f'ing tired of being woken up by it again...
    and the plot involving his father's killer takes a dramatic turn when Snape lands in a bed at the sexually-charged-named Shrieking Shack?

    Here's a nice jumping off point:

    And a special treat for all y'all:
    By far the BEST VERY VERYVERYVERY BEST review/encapsulation of this movie is here:
    "HPIII in 15 minutes"

    Dune. I love the book, but the movie became an inadvertent campfest. Not least because they cast a woman about five years older than Kyle McLachlan as his mother. There's that scene where they've just escaped together through the desert, and he looks over at her (she has not one hair out of place) with this lustful, longing sort of leer, and there is this long, sexually-charged moment of silence which is perfectly filled by: "Ever hear of Oedipus, Mom?"

    Thunder in Paradise.

    There are three movie versions of the short-lived and much-missed tv series starring Hulk Hogan as an ex-Navy Seal with a talking military-spec power boat named Thunder. For real. Think Night Rider meets Baywatch meets the WWF.

    Hulk's best friend/also ex-Navy Seal/M.I.T. graduate/life partner Bru is played by Jack Lemmon's real-life son. He's a douche. And his arms look tiny next to Hogan's - not that that stops him from walking around in his '80's mom jeans like he's totally built.

    This show is basically a bikini-clad Miami Beach machofest featuring Hogan's rippling skullet and Carol Alt's weirdo far apart eyes. Highly recommended.

    "Firebirds" and "The Day After Tomorrow"

    Both are awkward films with lots of irrational "wtf?" moments.

    The Apple.

    Remember Cannon Films that put out all those dreadful action films in the 1980s with Arnold Schwartzneggar and Chuck Norris?

    Well, the studio was started by a producer/director from Israel that had some success in that country and wanted to "go Hollywood". He and his business partners thought they could make a big splash with a sci-fi disco musical.

    At the premiere in LA, they gave out lps of the soundtrack to the crowd. They got so angry at the stupidity of the movie, the audience started throwing their lps at the screen and trashed the theater.

    The thing is so bad, it's hilarious and makes for a fun evening with a crowd to shout insults at the screen. I have a friend who had an "Apple" party with a screening of the film a few months back.

    It's readily available on dvd. If you've not seen it, think something like "Xanadu" crossed with "Logan's Run" (or maybe "Zardoz", another fun party movie). Costumes made of aluminum foil, futuristic cars made from what look like Yugos, third-rate disco songs, and an ending that just has to be seen to be believed.

    Maybe it's too obvious, but The Room. Escape From New York and The Thing are great, too.

    None?

    At the risk of sounding like a fuddy duddy and party pooper, if something is worth watching, then I like to intake all of the original source material (visuals/audio/etc.). I know that MST3K-style is not really "mocking" the material, but sometimes it does come across as "I've determined that there is nothing useful to be gleaned from this". I think in many cases even the worst trash can be enlightening if looked at in the right way.
