Smellvin Probably the only kid's movie that gets BETTER after you get older.
cognitivedissonance There have been only two perfect movies released in MY lifetime, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". The only two with plot, characters, relatability, applicability and satisfying endings. Is it coincidence that they're both essentially the same plot?
Old_Zircon Forbiden Zonme is good, but this is far better.
"Kids Movie?"
Anaxagoras I like Raiders of the Lost Ark for what it is: a fun adventure movie. But it doesn't hold a candle to Pee Wee, which is not only a fun adventure movie, but a strange commentary on modern life. Most of the characters in the movie are both broad-brush stereotypes & 100% believable. At the same time, the movie isn't really looking down on the characters, it's just observing them with a smile.
Also, I just wrote a paragraph on the Interwebs extolling the virtues of Pee-Wee Herman. I need to get out more.
FABIO Ghostbusters would be up there if it wasn't for the little Evil EPA Reagan era bullshit.
Old_Zircon Not 100%, because "characters" in the plural implies there's another bit character on the same level as Amazing Larry.
chumbucket what's amazing is that he didn't have to say anything
delicatessen Amazing Larry about to tell Mario that he saw Francis conspiring with some shifty-looking greaser, but Pee Wee's harsh tone made him clam up.
sosage I thought I was the only one that thought he was an awesome 1-second bit character. I spent most of my lifetime not knowing about the deleted scene. It works both ways.
joelkazoo *sigh*...Remember when Tim Burton directed *good* movies?
Busby Berkeley It wasn't THAT long ago. I mean "Ed Wood"...
...
holy shit "Ed Wood" came out 16 years ago.
Old_Zircon I've never seen the deleted scene! Have to check that out in a few minutes.
Caminante Nocturno Amazing Larry isn't doing himself any favors by agitating Pee Wee.
