Becuase I have a relentless urge to categorize and sort, let's group the MST3K movies based on certain "trends". =o

like, the Russo-Finnish Fantasy

Includes Jack Frost, The Day the Earth Froze, The Magic Voyage Of Sinbad, and The Sword and the Dragon. These are all color films, all contain some element of russo-finnish folklore, and they're all a bit...weird. Really their more bad than odd, and they've produced some of the funniest riffs to date.

or,

Japanese Space-Pulp
Not to be confused with the ever-popular Giant Monster genre, this consist entirely of ridiculous mincing heroes and unremarkable incompetent aliens. Prince of Space and Neptune Men are the only examples I can think of offhand.

Ooh, I know the one you mean. Didn't it also have "Spore", and an extended-metaphor conversation regarding apple pie? =o

Operation 007 perhaps?

Yes, that one. : )

Then there's alien wreaks havoc on earth - the Corman one with the Steves and the male mommy, the one with the Simon game (Pod People? with no pods?) and the mummy/radiation/college one.

lol, my memory's shot.

Those would be Night of the Blood Beast, Pod People, and Being from Another World, respectively.

The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide classified a lot of movies under the tag "giant rogue critter" which covered both the Japanese monster movies and the Bert I. Gordon ones like Earth vs. the Spider or Ray Kellog's Giant Gila Monster.

Then there were also the "sword and sandal" flicks, like the Hercules movies. Maybe Outlaw and Sinbad fit in there as well?

Sinbad perhaps, but Outlaw is sword and sexery genre.
