It’s been a big year for RiffTrax, as 2008 comes to an end, let’s look back at their best efforts. Here are my top 10.

• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban–Maybe it’s just because the memory is freshest, but I laughed my wand off.
• The Dark Knight–Fanboy dismay notwithstanding, this riff is proof, once again, that a “good” movie (though, frankly I don’t really understand the “greatest movie of all time” talk; it’s just a Batman movie…a GOOD Batman movie, granted, and Heath Ledger’s performance is gripping, granted … but it’s still just a Batman movie) can be riffed with hilarious results.
• The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers–I’m not ranking these, but I think if I were, this one would top the list. Tears were literally streaming down my face, I was laughing so hard. Sheer brilliance.
• Cloverfield–The dopiest monster movie in recent memory, featuring a millennial cast you immediately hope will be eaten, provides great fodder.
• Spiderman 3–The mellifluous voice of pop culture vulture James Lileks adds a different dimension to this riff. Great fun.
• Jurassic Park–This terrific riff, featuring the fabulous but “weird” Al Yankovic, was one of the most talked about RiffTrax of the year, and brought a whole new audience to RiffTrax.
• Rifftrax On Youtube–In the heat of the primary season, the RiffTrax guys released a series of hilarious political ads. Great stuff.
• Spiderman 2–In this “RiffTrax Presents” offering, Kevinand Bill were joined by Josh Fruhlinger, aka “the Comics Curmudgeon.” I’m not into comics, so I admit I had not heard of Josh before this, but I’m a fan now.
• Dirty Dancing–Another “RiffTrax Presents” feature with a difference: “SF Sketchfest” founders Cole Stratton and Janet Varney brought their own distinctive style and brand of humor to this riff. I cannot recommend this one enough.
• One Got Fat–One of the most surreal shorts ever forms the basis for one of the most talked-about riffs of the year.
Honorable mention: Coffeehouse Rendezvous–The oh-so-pretentious comments of nerdiest nerds ever are the target of this memorable short.
