Pee-wee's Big Adventure - Wikipedia

Introduced Tim Burton and Danny Elfman to a much larger audience than either had had previously.

Plus, it''s really funny.

 

My Dad and I loved it. He was 60 years old then and got all the nuances and salutes to a bygone era. John M.

 

Wow, I saw it that day. Thought it was probably the funniest thing I had ever seen at the time.

 

Still a great movie. A wonderful pick-me-up on a gloomy day. The scotch tape scene makes me laugh every time I see it.

 

Very funny movie. This one came out a few years ago on Netflix. Worth a look if you haven't seen it. I miss the Playhouse on Saturday mornings, especially the Dinosaur Family.

 

"I was all alone, rolling a big doughnut... and there was this snake, wearing a vest..."

 

A timeless classic that Tim Burton never surpassed. . . and I'm only being slightly tongue in cheek here.

 

My daughter and I had the flu back in Feb. I showed her Pee Wee for first time. We proceeded to watch it 10 times in 5 days.

OH REALLY WHERE ARE THEY HOSING HIM DOWN??!?!?

 

Large Marge : )

 

I meant to do that!

 

paging Mr. Herman . . .

 

"There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things...you shouldn't understand."

 

Absolutely love this film.

[after Pee Wee passes out]
Cowboy #1: What's your name?
Pee-wee: I can't remember.
Cowboy #2: Where are you from?
Pee-wee: I can't remember.
Cowboy #1: Can you remember anything?
Pee-wee: I remember... the Alamo.
[Texans cheer]

 

Loved it........saw it in the theater and a little over a month after Back to the Future.......two of my best movie-going experiences ever (13 years old).

 

Every time I visit the Alamo, I ask them where the basement is.

"The stars at night, are big and bright..."

Also the 30th anniversary of the release of Edie Brickell & New Bohemians's Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars, FWIW.

 

Danny Elfman's theme for this always brings a smile to my face, as surely as the theme music to a Looney Tunes or Merry Melodies cartoon.

 

Jan Hooks may well have invented "We're walking, we're walking..."

I saw it when i was 8-9 probably. Loved it, watched it so many times since.

 

Loved it as a kid. We quoted Large Marge’s speech over and over.

 

Loved this movie and Pee Wee's Playhouse. Used to watch it every week. So funny. Kind of subversive? but still just genuine. Love this movie.

 

Thought it was hilarious.

 

Jan Hooks played that part so well that I thought they had gotten an actual tour guide. It's hard to believe she's gone.
