A total riot! Brilliant!
Pee-wee's Big Adventure is Tim Burton's first feature length movie...and it is FANTASTIC!
From start to finish the film is a total riot. There are stacks of visual gags that had me in stitches, and a great script that also had me in stitches for every secon... read more

“Another gem of a movie from one of the best years for movies of all time - 1985's Pee-wee's Big Adventure. I had seen Pee-wee's antics in a few things here and there, so I knew of his character, but this was prior to Pee Wee's Playhouse, so I was going in fairly cold.
From the opening moments, it was made perfectly clear that this was one of those "it's going to be really difficult to categorize" kind of movies and I was totally into it.
Layer upon layer of antics, zany characters, and that Danny Elfman music to keep us guessing from beginning to end.
And yes, the Tequila dance made me a bit of a legend in the family when I performed at my Aunt and Uncle's wedding about a month later and showed my potential as a showman. Or something.” read more
