Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

Greatest Movie Ever Made. Period.
This is the most fun I've ever had with my pants on (and sometimes off). I saw it for the first time when I was a wee lad—and over and over again—and more than two decades later, it still holds up as well as the first time as I saw it. Paul Reubens is maniacal fun, and the pairing of Tim Burton and Danny Elfman was a match made in heaven. Informed so much of my weird, twisted sense of humor as a kid. Still as inventive and funny as ever.

Totally fanboy agree here. I wish there was some collectors bullcrap edition I could give them my money for. At least so I wouldn't have the crappy cardboard case.

5 Dottie is totally doable out of 5
