A weird mix of a film that shouldn't work as well as it somehow does. Many people don't realize that Tim Burton directed this film, but it has all his signature weirdness in it. Large Marge, "There's no basement at the Alamo!", "Tequila", and so many other moments. Danny Elfman's score has tons of energy in it.

Okay, so Pee-wee's Big Adventure is seriously one of the weirdest movies ever, but in the best way possible! Tim Burton's first film, and you can totally tell, it's dripping with his signature style. Paul Reubens is absolutely hilarious as Pee-wee Herman, this super goofy guy who goes on the craziest road trip to find his stolen bike. The whole movie is just a wild ride. You'll meet some seriously strange characters along the way. I'm talking ghost truckers, biker gangs, and even a giant man's hand! It's all so over-the-top and ridiculous, you can't help but laugh. Pee-wee's reactions are the best part. He's so innocent and childlike, and the way he reacts to everything is just priceless. And don't even get me started on the music by Danny Elfman, it's super catchy and perfectly captures the movie's quirky vibe. Sure, some of the jokes might feel a bit dated, but the movie has this awesome 80s charm that's totally irresistible. Plus, it's just so much fun to watch. If you're looking for something different and totally unique, Pee-wee's Big Adventure is definitely worth checking out.

This was a fun one for me as a kid, still entertaining enough and easily the best Pee Wee film of the 3.

"Pee Wee's Big Adventure" is a marvelous trip across America with man-child Pee Wee who finds fame and adventure (and his bike) along the way. It's not a buddy picture because Pee Wee is a loner a rebel. He finds many friends on his quest but he's got little time for real relationships. They get More

This is the stuff cult classics are made of, the kind of film that's so offbeat, unexpected, kitschy and contentedly niche-inhabiting that you can't help but wonder how a major studio ever gave it the green light. Paul Reubens lives and breathes this role, (literally - he's credited for More
