3. Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985) - Large Marge
Pee Wee's Big Adventure is probably a bit obscure for most young 'uns these days but back when I was small Pee Wee was still an icon and hadn't been busted with his pants down in a porno cinema. In his first big screen outing Pee Wee sets off on a crazy road trip to retrieve his long lost bike which has been stolen. Shock horror. What follows is a funny and cute road movie that see's Pee Wee infect America with his childlike humour. And then, when you least expect it the tone of the movie completely changes. Sure it's only for a moment but it's enough to leave a lasting mark on the psyche of an entire generation of children. If you've seen the film then you'll know exactly what moment I mean - when Pee Wee is riding in Large Marge's articulated lorry and she starts telling him a story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RryZV8NK9-Q Scarier than anything you might see on today's kid's shows.
