OMG, it's been SO long since I've seen an Earnest movie! I grew up watching these things as a little bitty kid! I'm 16 years old right now, almost 17. All I know is the memory I've had with these movies, and I remember that I LOVED these movies when I was a kid, and that I watched them a LOT. Me and my bro would have our parents rent some of them from a VHS rental store - because of course at the time there weren't any DVDs.
Earnest Saves Christmas - I remember a lot of this one, and I guess it would probably be my top pick...
Earnest Scared Stupid - I remember that I use to have a good scare with this one as a kid, hehe. I guess It'd be my second pick.
Earnest Goes to Jail - I remember a little of this one, but I think one of the only things I liked about this one, as I can remember, was the "I came, I saw, I got blown up!" line at the end. Of course, I probably won't think it's funny now that I'm grown up...
Earnest Goes to Camp - I remember a little of this one, but I don't remember anything too special about it, but I still liked it of course.
Slam Dunk - I remember this one as well. My Uncle is a sports fanatic and he had this on VHS, I think he still has it! Me and my bro would sometimes borrow it from him when we were kids.
Earnest Goes to School - I swear that I've seen this one, but I like remember nothing about it!
I don't believe I ever saw these, however...
Goes to Africa
In the Army
Rides Again
It would be SO weird to get to watch one of these movies since I haven't seen one in SO long! It's almost scary! I've already had experiences with watching a movies that I haven't seen in so long, like Popeye, Tremors, Jurassic Park, Titanic, Joe Dirt, Toy Story, and more. All movies I grew up watching, and it feels so weird watching them now...

Here's my listing:
1. Ernest Saves Christmas (my favorite Christmas Movie, and probably the best of the series)
2. Ernest Goes To Camp - Reasons being that it does bring you back to being a kid, had pretty good production for what it was, and the Native American themes made it a little more serious than most really remember or think about. All in all it takes me back to my childhood and had a good battle scene at the end.
3. Ernest Goes To Jail - Reasons being? Varney does excellent acting in his dual role, Ernest has a believable love interest, and it keeps with series continuity (the two guards, Rimshot, and we finally see Ernest's place in wacky glory).
Scared Stupid I didn't care for, but I must admit it's of better quality than the direct to video films and is enjoyable every once in awhile.
I haven't seen all of Ernest Goes To Africa or Goes To School yet I have Africa on DVD and Goes To School on VHS. In The Army was too Desert Storm for my tastes and again was out of Ernest continuity.
Ernest Rides Again I did like though I think it had more of a Police Academy feel to it.
Slam Dunk Ernest wasn't bad, but I just can't see a Ghetto Ernest.
I think the top 3 are the cream of the crop, the classics if you will, the best of the best of most film buff's worst of the worst franchises.
Sincerely,
Exchronos

1.)Ernest Scared Stupid
2.)Ernest Goes to Camp
3.)Ernest Saves Christmas
4.)Ernest Goes to Jail
But I admit, I haven't seen Saves Christmas in years...and with all the praise it's getting, I might like it more than Goes to Camp if I watched it today...but not more than Scared Stupid.
