Pee-Wee's Big Adventure {1985}

Eccentric man-child Pee Wee Herman (“I know you are, but what am I?”) stars in this quirky comedy, directed by Tim Burton, that became the surprise hit of the summer of 1985. Pee Wee’s blissful existence is disrupted when his cherished bicycle is stolen, and he embarks on a cross-country quest to retrieve it. (“You don’t want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel.”) Rated PG
