I wanted to start a discussion about the Ernest movies and their impact on working-class cinema. For many of us who grew up in the '90s, Ernest P. Worrell, played by the late Jim Varney, was a beloved character who brought laughter and heart to our homes. His movies were a staple in working-class families, especially during the blockbuster era. Jim Varney was the 1990s Jacque Tati.
Ernest's character was relatable and endearing, an everyman who always found himself in ridiculous situations. Despite the slapstick comedy and often outlandish plots, the Ernest films had a certain charm that resonated with audiences. They were family-friendly, making them perfect for Saturday night movie sessions. His movies were good-natured entertainment without pretension.
They didn't have the gloss and glamour of Hollywood blockbusters, but they had heart, and that's what made them special. However, when I look at platforms like Letterboxd, it seems like Ernest's career doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Sure, they may not be high art or critically acclaimed masterpieces, but the Ernest movies hold a significant place in the cultural landscape of the '90s. They brought joy to countless working-class families and deserve a spot in the conversation about influential cinema of that era.
What are your thoughts on the Ernest movies? Do you think they deserve more recognition? How did they impact your childhood or family movie nights? Let’s discuss!

I grew up with the Ernest movies. I’ve seen every single one. Looking back at the Ernest movies, they were by far the most silly, dumb, stupid comedies I remember watching as a child. But no matter where my artistic taste lie as an adult, I can’t help but look back at the overall entertainment value of those silly movies served to me and my family on Friday movie night.
I would love to see a Dolemite is my name type biopic for Jim Varney.
I can see Simon Rex playing him.
Thoughts?
