Static (1986)
Forget Silicon Valley—meet Ernie, an unemployed crucifix factory worker with a garage-sized obsession. *Static* is a darkly comedic indie gem that asks what happens when a lonely inventor claims to have cracked the afterlife. Anchored by a deeply human performance and a wonderfully oddball supporting cast (a drummer, a Green Beret-evangelist cousin), the film balances absurdity with genuine pathos. It’s for anyone who loves quirky, character-driven stories about misfits chasing impossible dreams. You’ll laugh, cringe, and surprisingly, feel your heart ache—all while wondering just how far belief can bend.
