59. "Pee-wee's Big Adventure"
Yes, I was a fan of "Pee-wee's Playhouse" as a kid and had never seen the film. I guess I'm not really a child of the 80's.
The Tim Burton 1985 is wonderful is every way. It stars a wholly original character that lives in his own world but grows to be loved in each new one he stumbles upon. The mixture of 50's kitsch, 80's hair and Burton's Dali inspired sets made the film timeless in it's own way. Everyone that has seen this film after childhood would agree. It's sad that the film, show and character were forced into obscurity, but it was probably for the best. Two films and 45 episodes gave us just enough Pee-wee to miss him when he went.
