Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloombeam 1/10

I really, really love this movie. I've seen it more times than I can count.
It's full of wonderful campy 80s sci-fi and Jim Varney.
And it has an electric coffin and a morbid love song opener. Can't get any better, right?
Yes it can.

This movie is ahead of its time. Talking about the economy failing back in '86 and it's 2011 and it's just plain eerie because that's what is happening now.

This movie seems to be batshit insane even by 1980s standards. Also, LOL at Booby the grease monkey actually talking. He kinda reminds me of Woody Harrelson in this movie.

"World Domination Is a Grueling, Thankless Job -- But Someone Has to Do It."

How that failed to get in the American Film Institute's top 100 movie quotes, I'll never understand.

It must be a conspiracy, I tell ya.

Out of the many many 80's movies that came out on video, this one's as 80's as it can get!! :)

Every time I tell people I like Ernest movies they look at me like I'm an idiot who watches movies for rubes. I love Lawrence of Arabia, 2001, Citizen Kane, M, all the high art movies. But they just don't understand the cult appeal of Earnest. All they can see is a hick movie for idiots. Of course some of the latter movie got stupid, but that's the case w/ any established character. The latter Seller's Pink Panther movies are stupid too. But the early Earnest movies were surreal wonders.

@ShadowAgentFox It's called "Our Love Festers", and unfortunately it wasn't released outide of this movie. It's also sung in the movie "Existo".

I guess the President got ahold of this movie and built a real gloom beam lol. R.I.P. Jim, wish you were here.

I always had a great fondness for this particular movie. It's about the only movie with this guy! Love me some Dr. Otto. "Why Cincinnati of Course! The Financial Capital of Southern Ohio!"
