This must be the 1966 movie in which a young couple, and the pilot of the plane they were in, find themselves in a strange town.
Said town is full of people that act like automatons and surrounded by an impenetrable transparent barrier.
The movie is also called The Fantastic Invasion Of Planet Earth.
Correct. Written and directed by Arch Oboler of Lights Out fame.
Interesting that you don't get any answers in that movie. You never find out who the aliens are, why they came to Earth, and such.
The characters makes some guesses, but that's all we get.
In her introduction, Kinga mocks Joel for thinking he can handle anything because just he's been through Manos. While I'm not sure if The Bubble is actually worse than Manos, it's definitely in the same weight class. Like a lot of MST3K movies, there's a kernel of a good idea in there, but it doesn't quite pop. Part if it is how this is an Arch Oboler product. I personally know him best for his work in radio, and he is what could be described as hit and miss. Then there's the use of 3-D. Unlike The Mask where its use is creative, The Bubble indulges in all the usual gimmicky shots associated with the method.

To your left, you can see virtually nothing. And to your right, absolutely nothing.
"What is it, what gives?"
Oh, we've angered God with our hubris again.
"Give me a fast clearance. I gotta get down fast, over."
What's the magic word, over.

So on the couch, right?
The townspeople shun the outsider for wearing white after Labor Day.
So is this a Blazing Saddles LARP?
Better call my wife and tell her I can't find a phone.
Our younger viewers might require some explanation. That's a phone booth. Your grandparents used to see how many people they could cram in there because they liked rubbing their bodies against other people without consequences. It also made phone calls.
Try Beer brand beer. Ask for it by name.
Crix nix Arch Oboler's pix?
It's Moe, Larry, and Trotsky.
"All I want is my plane."
All I want is the end credits.
So anyway, that's what people don't get about Fight Club. Now let me tell you about The Joker.
Hey, I know this tunnel. From the sex metaphor at the end of North by Northwest.
"Are you drunk or something?"
Cuz that's my thing.
Status report. We didn't find a way around, but we did find an Applebee's.
That's right, my robot friends. No matter how bad your day is, you can always say, "At least I'm not in Arch Oboler's The Bubble."
But we are watching Arch Oboler's The Bubble, and that's pretty bad.
Honey, before you ask, I don't know. That should cover everything.
Bet those aliens are as disappointed by humans as I was by sea monkeys.
Whoa, they mummified Snuffleupagus! Those monsters!
Thrill as our hero stumbles around the home and garden store.
Meanwhile at the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse.
The music is telling me something is about to happen, but I don't know. I've been burned by this movie before.
La-Z Boy presents the David Cronenberg Collection.
A creepy little movie all the same.
Like I said, we don't really get any answers as to what happened. Who were the aliens and why did they come? What happened to the rest of the Earth? What will our heroes find once they leave that town?
All left a mystery.
