Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

When we heard of Paul Reubens' death, we decided it was time for a rewatch of this ridiculous gem. Though it would be impossible to ever recapture the fun of seeing it first the first time, it's still a ton of fun. From his sassy "why don't you take a picture it'll last longer," to Large Marge, to the Tequila dance, to rescuing snakes, it simply propagates joy.

The one issue (and it is, in my opinion, a HUGE one) is the casting of Elizabeth Daily as Dottie. She can't act for shit.
