Celebrating 40-years of Enzian Theater, each month we will highlight a classic film from 1985 to illustrate the lasting impact of the films of the era and the legacy of Central Florida’s only non-profit arthouse movie theater.

Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens), an eccentric child-like man, loves his red bicycle and will not sell it to his envious neighbor, Francis (Mark Holton). While Pee-wee visits his friend Dottie (Elizabeth Daily), the bike is stolen. Thinking his bike is at the Alamo, Pee-wee sets off on a trip, where he meets many remarkable people, including waitress Simone (Diane Salinger) and a motorcycle gang. Eventually, Pee-wee discovers that his bike is being used in a movie and tries to recover it.
1985, 90 minutes, USA, Directed by Tim Burton, Rated PG

“Everything about Pee-wee's Big Adventure, from its toy-box colors to its superb, hyperanimated Danny Elfman score to the butch-waxed hairdo and wooden-puppet walk of its star and mastermind, Pee-wee Herman, is pure pleasure.”
– Stephanie Zacharek, SALON -
“Pee- wee's Big Adventure is a shrewdly observed, deftly executed looney tune.”
– Jay Carr, BOSTON GLOBE -
"The filmmakers create a zany and surreal world for Pee-Wee yet it all seems perfectly natural and credible. Plus, it's all infused with a subdued yet rampant silliness that's enchanting."
– Beth Accomando, KPBS.ORG -
“Inspired lunacy, Pee-wee's big adventure is one of the most inventive films in recent memory."
– TV GUIDE -
"It might start off silly, but by the end, it's skewered tons of film cliches, offered our first glimpse at Tim Burton's cinematic vision, and, most crucially, made you laugh more times than you can count."
– Will Harris, BULLZ-EYE.COM
