MST3K Forum

I've recently been introduced to MST3K after watching a few rifftrax and I'd like suggestions as to which episodes I should check out. I've already seen a couple of really great eps, I particularly love Manos: The Hands Of Fate, Space Mutiny and Mitchell. Any other suggestions are very welcome!

Oh, there are quite a few.  Are you using Netflix streaming?  Here is a list of some off Netflix Streaming first:

1. Teenagers from Outer Space
2. Pod People
3. Robot Monster
4. Bride of the Monster
   
5. Super Agent, Super Dragon
6. The Phantom Planet
7. Red Zone Cuba
   

For ones not out on Netflix yet, I suggest looking for all the Gamera ones and Godzilla vs Megalon.  Very memorable songs in both.  Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a classic also worth looking up. 

Sidehackers! 
Cave Dwellers 
Marooned will give you the best cast to ever show up on a MST3K film

Master Ninja and Fugitive Alien were always some of my go-to's.

My favorites are:
Manos: Hand of Fate - Legitimately the worst movie ever made and introduces recurring character Torgo
Anything with Gamera or Godzilla
Both Santa Claus and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Final Justice - My favorite of the Sci Fi Channel episodes
Mitchell - Joel's last episode and urban legend has it this episode pissed off Joe Don Baker to the point that he threaten bodily harm to the MST3K staff
Lost Continent - One of the actors of the movie (Caesar Romano who played the Joker in the 60's Batman show) starts laughing while trying to recite awful dialogue which is not edited out
Hamlet - A last season fuck you to the asshole execs at the Sci Fi channel that demanded MST3K only do Science Fiction movies
Attack of the Killer Shrews - The first episode of MST3K I ever saw and made me a fan for life
Hercules: Attack of the Moon Men 
The Final Sacrifice - Zap Rowdowser is the greatest name ever
Those are just off the top of my head but you can't go wrong with anything from Roger Corman, Ed Wood , Bert I. Gordon, or Sandy Frank.

I remember really getting a kick out of Werewolf because none of the people in the film were native English speakers except for Joe and it was filmed in Italy and "took place" in America. So many tight shirts. Also Pumaman, cus its fucking Pumaman. Also, as far as "can't go wrong," anything starring Joe Estevez or Joe Don Baker is brilliant. Go ahead on and get you some Soultaker.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!
