1. It's very hard to choose just one.
I'm kind of partial to "Manos: The Hands of Fate", but there are many others that are just as good.

2. I've always liked "The Brain That Wouldn't Die"
also "Beginning of the End". There's also a short on safety that had me falling off my chair. I need to find it and watch it again.

6. "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank"..because the movie they watch...
stars Raul Julia and is hilariously incoherent. The movie is definitely one of the funniest on its own merits (in the so bad it's good kinda way), and the commentary is pure gold.
Definitely my favorite episode.

9. That is a good one
left that one off my later list for some reason. Need to watch it again - you're right the commentary on that one is just hilarious.

10. Well, the obvious ones are Manos and Mitchell, but I'm pretty fond of The Giant Spider Invasion.
Oh, and Pod People and The Cave Dwellers are also special favorites of mine.

14. Mitchell is my personal favorite
Joe Don Baker shows how glamorous it is to be an alcoholic loser cop.

Trust me, it's funny as hell.

30. Gotta be Neptune Men
Prince of Space features Japanese men with chicken beak noses, running around in union suits.

(I don't explain it, sir. Merely report it.)

31. Yeah, I remember the chicken men of Crank-whore....
It must be Neptune men which is another Japanese secret guy saves the world from invades type of thing. In that one "Space Chief" flies around fighting flying saucers when one of them runs into a big, modern building with a giant picture of Hitler on the side.

20. I loved Devil Fish.
I can't remember exact quotes, but there was an ongoing reference to "Southern Man" that had me cracking up. And the movie ended with a really bad corny joke, and they promptly responded with 5 minutes of faked laughter.

Plus it was set in the Everglades, which is actually pretty cool.
